"The trend appears to be primarily targeted at younger female employees, with sexual, sexist, and ageist connotations, all of which have no place in the workplace," she said.
"The office siren TikTok trend has a wealth of problematic connotations to unpick," Kate Palmer, employment services director at HR and employment law consultancy Peninsula, told Business Insider.
"The undertones in the term 'office siren' reaffirm dated 'sexy secretary' stereotypes, and the belief that women dress for the male gaze in the workplace," she said.
HR TikTokers have posted videos on TikTok in response to this trend, expressing which styles are acceptable for the workplace and which should be kept for free time.
