But it also depends on your office.<br /> For example, in a more casual, or more creative, office one might wear the "basic white cottonT" (which has been touted to wear with everything under the sun) with a black pencil skirt, pumps and fun statement necklace -I really like that look but a too-casual T would not feel right at my work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094676 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:11:04 +0000 Emily 1094676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol @ Diana - maybe I could start a cool new trend :D</p> <p>(joking...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094469 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:58:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1094469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - lol!</p> <p>Yeah, reflective stripes not so good for the office </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094461 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:49:52 +0000 Diana 1094461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, now I have a mental image of you sitting in a darkened room for a presentation and your shirt glowing in the light of the powerpoint! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094454 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:44:04 +0000 Adelfa 1094454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good catch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094443 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:34:47 +0000 Alecia 1094443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely nay for work, but so cool for heading out on the town in the dark on a bike! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094428 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 1094428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha!

I agree it all depends on the fabric in real life and the reflective tape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094147 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:37:10 +0000 Summer 1094147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the fence....Agree with Laura that I would like to see the fabric qualities and how it fits, I think. Kind of sporty, but not overtly athletic wear from what I see now, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094120 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:16:23 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1094120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style wise I think it could be fine; my only hesitation is with the fabrication. Some activewear knits are very obviously activewear, shiny somehow and very polyester wicking - ish. Some look just Ike a regular tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-out-to-lunch-striped-activewear-tee-for-business-casual#post-1094006 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 02:04:25 +0000 Thistle 1094006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How casual is your office?
