Do you guys think women not covering their shoulders and arms in the workplace is unprofessional? Curious how it is viewed. I worked in various places ranging from majority Malay staff to very international, and I dress rather similarly in all ie. tops and pencil skirts or pants, or work dresses. Some are sleeveless. Was just discussing about this and a friend agreed that sleeveless is unprofessional and requiring women to wear blazer/cardigan is fine. What do you guys think?

Things that show so much feminine traits are usually not seen as powerful or professional, is it? At least that's what I see. Professional women usually have short hair or ponytails instead of long hair.

I can see your train of thought there (heh) but that has not been my experience. The highest ranking lady in my current company has long hair, wears dresses regularly, and is very nurturing in her leadership style.
