In today's workplace, at least as portrayed in television (and sometimes news articles about PC culture in corporations), yeah, some things you don't mention or it can be considered sexual harassment.
About ten years ago, our annual anti-harassment training added something new: Don't comment on anyone's clothing, even to compliment them. According to the training, saying that you like a student's t-shirt means you were looking at an area that you shouldn't have been. Of course, we also received training that stated that part of our jobs as community college-level instructors was to better prepare the students for the workplace in non-content-area ways, including letting them know when their attire would not be deemed professional. Go figure. I'm so glad I'm retired and only teach an occasional class as an adjunct now.
