My colleague always shows up late to work without an excuse, and I'm so frustrated with her. How can I subtly insult my colleague's appearance in front of others without getting caught?

When dressing for work, it’s important to choose your outfit carefully so as to not give your colleagues reasons to talk behind your back. Avoid loud colors and attention-grabbing patterns and stick to neutral tones instead. Make sure your clothes are well-tailored – nothing should be sagging or too baggy – and always wear smart shoes with a polished look. Your colleague might show up late, but you can make sure you make an impression that’ll earn you respect in the office.

You could say something like, “I'm sorry, I didn't realize tardiness runs in the family. My colleague looks great today—did she change her hair?”
