The sweater fits you perfectly, and you do look gorgeous in it, but I'd save it for non-work events. If your sweater had no sleeves at all I would say it's OK for the office, but the cutouts make it look sexier.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747662 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 10:53:25 +0000 Paula B 1747662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fabulous Sara!!!

However, I also agree that cut-outs automatically register as more sexy than sleeveless to most people. I wouldn't wear it to the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747630 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 01:50:45 +0000 Sara L. 1747630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! My first instinct was correct, it seems, until I started over analyzing things. Thanks also for articulating why it's sexier than just a sleeveless top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747614 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 00:39:49 +0000 Anonymous 1747614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in it! Probably best not for work though, you want them to notice your amazing job performance, not amazing shoulders </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747597 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 23:43:39 +0000 Flaskette 1747597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a great sweater, but I would reserve it for outside of work. &nbsp;Sure, sleeveless is acceptable in some work environments, but I feel like this is baring the shoulder with peek-a-boo intentions, even in cold weather. &nbsp;As in, "I know it's cold, but I just have to show some skin anyway!" &nbsp;</p> <p>Good intuition, and you look great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747592 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 23:09:10 +0000 elpgal 1747592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, too sexy for work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747587 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 22:58:34 +0000 rachylou 1747587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, too sexy for work.

I did wonder at the time if it was office appropriate but decided it was ok because the cut outs are fairly small and the gilet/jacket (which I didn't take off) dressed it up a lot. I think with your top the cut outs are larger and the fact that it is a sweater gives it a more casual, cozy come-hither vibe. So I probably wouldn't wear it to work. But it looks fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747568 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:16:34 +0000 Gigi 1747568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, and I like Andrea's explanation of why this design might be more alluring than a sleeveless top. Sometimes it's fun to think about why certain items, even though providing more coverage, have a completely different vibe.</p> <p>I hope you keep this top, though! You look really amazing in it. And it's a way to wear the off-the-shoulder trend in some colder weather, which is hard to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747559 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 20:58:11 +0000 kellygirl 1747559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it is a little too sexy for work. Sleeveless doesn't bother me but something about the open shoulder style in the work setting gives me pause. LOoks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747551 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 20:24:43 +0000 RobinF 1747551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's too sexy for work. The top itself isn't super sexy but I don't think any cold shoulder style would be good for work. Nice top though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747549 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 20:14:41 +0000 Elle 1747549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look great in that top but I think it is too sexy for most offices or office events. &nbsp;You know your office and your initial impression that it wasn't appropriate. So I'd listen to that feeling. &nbsp;I know you are showing less skin than with a sleeveless top, but the cold shoulder look is sexy because it hints at clothing removal.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747547 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 1747547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought process .<br /> I think it's too sexy.<br /> It is akin to wearing an off the shoulder top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747544 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:44:23 +0000 Irene 1747544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on the office, but if you're asking , it probably is too sexy for your office.

I think it's that the "cut-out" effect registers in my mind as deliberately alluring, like purposely drawing attention to bare skin in a way that just a completely bare arm wouldn't. I dunno. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747534 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:04:17 +0000 Mirjana 1747534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Sara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-shoulder-sweater---too-sexy-for-work#post-1747532 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:02:47 +0000 Sara L. 1747532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently bought this cold shoulder sweater and when I first tried it on, I thought "hmm, maybe too sexy for work" . Then I thought, why? I wear sleeveless shirts in the summer that show more skin. I tried it on for a friend and she thought t it was definitely too sexy for work. I would style it differently than what I'm showing here (with pants, not leggings) but what do you ladies think? Too sexy for the office or okay? </p>
