Appropriateness of dress is dependent upon the age of the wearer, culture, religion and the industry in which they work.  

I would never wear shorts to work, not even tailored ones, because they would be most unbecoming.  My hemlines are either just below the knee or mid-calf.  Very occasionally, I have worn a garment that ends just a whisker above the knee.  I don't have sleeveless garments, and tend to wear long sleeves.  I can get away with long sleeves here in Britain even in hot weather, mostly because my hot weather clothes are linen or thin voiles. My necklines never go lower then a couple of inches below the collarbone.

Which all makes me sound rather prim.  

My aim is to look clean, tidy and neat, and present a professional image for my company and maybe look elegant somewhere along the way as well.
