The office siren aesthetic has been taking social media by storm, as content creators share videos in alluring business-inspired ensembles, including pencil skirts, micro minis, and skintight button-downs.
While the trend has proven a hit - especially with Gen Z, who is new to the workforce - could employees actually get away with wearing it at their place of business?
Human resources expert Sunny Lena shared a video that received more than 150,000 likes and 436 comments about whether young women could wear these sometimes scandalous office siren ensembles.
Sunny described the video as 'HR rating your office siren outfits and whether or not you get in trouble,' before showing off different TikTok content creators embracing the scantily-clad trend.
In the first video, influencer Julia Quang, who has 274,000 followers, shared a video of her 'corporATE fashion.'

In the viral TikTok, which she first shared in March, Julia showed off all of the outfits she wore to work during the week and received more than 567,000 likes for her trendy workplace style
In the viral TikTok, which she first shared in March, Julia showed off all of the outfits she wore to work during the week and received more than 567,000 likes for her trendy workplace style.
In the outfit Sunny critiqued, Julia wore black slacks, a gray tube top, a black blazer, and glasses hanging off the tube top.
Sunny said without the blazer it might be a problem, but otherwise, she had no issues and it was 'a really cute' outfit.
Comments on the original video were mixed, with one person calling her 'THE office siren,' and another saying, 'I've reached my inner millennial (I'm Gen Z) because I would wear any of these to the club.'
Sunny then showed Julia wearing a thigh-baring miniskirt with a narrow black belt and a cleavage-baring button-up paired with the same black rimmed glasses, as well as sheer black knee-high stockings.
She said as a human resources professional, she would talk to Julia about the short skirt and say she would have to wear a longer skirt or pants - but that everything else was acceptable.
Sunny went on to show influencer Chriena, who has 857,000 followers, wearing an outfit that the original creator described as 'maybe inappropriate for most offices but so cute for brunch.'
However, Sunny said that despite Chriena joking that HR would send her home for the outfit, she personally would not.
Commenters had much to say - with some agreeing the ensembles were far too revealing, while others wondered why there was a dress code at all
'I wouldn't even have a conversation with you,' Sunny said, adding that it was 'really cute.'
The main issue Sunny seemed to have with the office siren trend was micro miniskirts and visible thigh high stockings with lace - urging people to dress for the correct office environment.
Commenters had much to say - with some agreeing the ensembles were far too revealing, while others wondered why there was a dress code at all.
'Hi! Curious what men would be sent home for?' one person remarked, as another asked, 'Why can't HR let us slay in peace?'
Some women said they thought that 'office siren' was simply another TikTok-inspired aesthetic, like mob wife, and that no one was actually wearing it at their workplace.
'Why are they trying to look like the opening scenes of an adult film at work?' a commenter asked.
'It's like these people have no idea what being in an office is actually like,' another woman wrote.
People named their favorite examples of office sirens, including Jessica Pearson on Suits, as seen above
Commenters named some of their favorite office sirens, with one suggesting Millicent Huxtable from One Tree Hill

Some people thought it was not the responsibility of human resources to confront the people who were not adhering to dress code policies, writing, 'HR is not the policy police. Their managers should be addressing the issue.'
Others pointed out it's usually too cold to wear such revealing ensembles.
'I always think these are people who clearly don't work in an office because the AC is KICKING and it's too cold for all that,' one said, while another added, 'I have two office sweaters in my office just in case at all times because that AC is BLASTING.'
Some were simply worried about the practicality, with one commenting, 'All I can think is "Y'all are gonna be super uncomfortable sitting in that for eight to nine hours."'
