UAE have varying degrees of tolerance to clothing styles from around the world. There are legal guidelines as to what is not acceptable, especially in Sharjah which has its own decency laws, but in general, people can mostly wear what they like within reason. If you like to reveal more flesh than commonly accepted in the office place, or like to wear what many would regard as extreme, offensive, or off-beat clothing, then it would be wise to tone down your dress code in the UAE, especially outside Dubai, and especially areas with a greater proportion of nationalities likely to be offended, and especially during Ramadan.
This information guide is generally intended for western expatriates, tourists, and visitors since they are usually the ones who most commonly come into conflict with dress codes in the UAE. Arab citizens from GCC countries tend to wear similar clothing, and other Arabs and most Asians usually dress more conservatively than westerners anyway.
