'is this too short for work?'

A young Aussie is going viral for the age-old question that most women have asked themselves in their working lives: “Is this too short for work?”

Beth Buckingham has amassed more than one million views on TikTok because she’s shared an outfit she wore to a corporate job that she now regrets.

The 30-year-old posted an old clip of herself wearing a white mini-skirt and questioning whether it was too short to wear to work.

She then answered her question.

“Yes, it is far too short! What were you even thinking? Honestly, you will wear it and flash everybody in the office, and you’ll be uncomfortable all day and wish you’d never wore it,” she said.

Buckingham shared the video and said it was often a problem for tall girls.

She asked her followers to remind her to “never wear it work again” and asked for recommendations for skirts that sit mid-thigh and aren’t ugly.

Buckingham’s office outfit divided the internet.

While someone who works in the government said it was a hard “gosh no” and another said “Genuinely, your skirt is too short”, some women commented that they often wear the same length skirt to work.

Someone else said that while she always wears that length of skirt, she is unemployed, and another said that Buckingham was “literally her every day” wearing a short skirt to work.

Buckingham added that she was “just a girl trying to dress for work in summer” and told someone there was no “need to yell” when they responded in all capitals.

“Just go straight to HR when you walk in,” one advised.

“As a tall girl I feel you,” another wrote.

“No, it isn’t too short! Please normalize this,” someone else begged.

Buckingham added that while she might regret her work outfit, it isn’t a “big deal” to wear something like this in Australia, depending on your job. But she added that she felt “personally uncomfortable” after wearing it.

The 30-year-old told news.com.au that in Australia, you “get away” with wearing short skirts, even in corporate culture in the middle of summer.

“My office is quite casual so no one else blinked twice. It’s not that serious,” she said.

“But I personally just felt uncomfortable wearing it all day because I was moving around, getting up from my desk, walking around etc. So, I wished I’d changed the second I filmed that first video. Always clarity in hindsight.”

Buckingham said that despite planning not to wear the skirt again, she’s made worse fashion choices at work before.

“I’ve worn my standing jeans to work before and immediately regretted it after sitting down for five minutes. I’ve also forgotten to take a few tags of new clothes before,” she said.
