The pros recommend hemming your trousers “so the ankle can breathe, or wear shorts or cropped pants for the best circulation.”

It might seem fool proof, but it’s not as obvious as you might think.
The pros explained: “This is especially true if you’re using a roll-on product, which is very moist.
“Also, experiment with amounts you’re applying—you might be applying too much at one time, or reapplying too frequently.”

The sweat pros added: “No matter how casual or formal your office, women’s dress codes usually permit some layers that you can take off while still looking professional.”
