Distressed Boyfriend Jeans
These jeans are as distressed as your lab manager will going to be when they see you in them. Imagine the paperwork after those holes let droplets of milli-Q water onto your unprotected knees.
T-Shirt Dresses
You had us with t-shirt, which can be covered by your lab coat, but lost us at dress :(.
Sky-High Boots
Save these stilettos for a conference! One errant kimwipe on the floor could send you careening into the fume hood.
Pleated Skirts
While we applaud the double layer of fabric in the top part of the leg, it seems to come at the expense of the now completely unprotected lower legs. Try pleated pants as am alternative!
Long-Sleeved Print Dresses
Aww, if only you had cut off the sleeves and made them into pants 🙁 sorry but these are still a no no!
Rounded Metal Sunglasses
We are all for eye protection, but these sunglasses do not appear to have splash guards, so they are banned.
Chunky Peekaboo Sandals
You’ll thank us when you don’t have a zebra stripe burn pattern when your lab mate errantly pipettes some glacial acetic acid through the slits.
Bohemian Sandals
Oh so you want acetone taking off that french manicure?
Vibrant Crocs
From the runway to the hallway, crocs are a bona fide hit with all ages, but those comfy lil holes will not stop stock sodium hydroxide.
Cut-Off Jeans
These are just one spill away from being acid-wash legs.
Floral Jumpers
Unless those flowers can hop off and cover your precious shins, this is also a no.
Short Shorts
Even more bare legs??? No!!!
Jean Shorts
NO! SHORTS! There are safer ways to singe off your upper leg hair!
Shorts In General
We GET IT. Your gams are beautiful and majestic and you want to show them AWF, but you must save it for the 0.5 hours that you aren’t in the lab!
