Don’t Become a Liability
20th CENTURY FOX
All that Aquanet that Joan Cusack rocked as Cyn in Working Girl has got to be an occupational fire hazard. Remember, safety first.
Don’t Scare Your Coworkers
WARNER BROS.INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION
Think going to the ladies’ room at work is awkward enough already? Imagine the retouch time on Mimi Bobeck's look on The Drew Carey Show. You might want to just hold it.
Don’t Flaunt Your Underbutt
NBC

20TH CENTURY FOX / THE KOBAL COLLECTION / GORMAN, GREG

ROBERT VOETS/WARNER BROS
2 Broke Girls take note: Though we love a fab high heel for work, if you’re a waitress and, uh, it’s snowing, we’ll forgive you if you wear a pair of sneaks.
