I wear whatever the fuck I want. I once had a sort of boss (not a line manager just a coordinator. Our team were all contractors and didn't really report to one person as such). She saw me crossing the office one day and pulled me aside to tell me I had to wear a shirt and tie from now on. Anyway, I just said "nope", and walked off.

She had been trying shit like this on our team for a while and we knew we could just ignore her about this stuff. Still satisfying though.

95% of the time, nothing at all. Now you have to guess what I do for money. :)

Nope. Rodeo clown.

Naked model? Cooking meth? Sex worker?

Long pants that can't be jeans or have to many pockets. Collared shirt and a thing that goes over the shirt and keeps you warm. It's woolen and soft.

When I buy clothes I just find a maniken that looks like a business guy and then I buy 3 pairs of what he is wearing. So I've got like 5 different outfits and 3 of each outfit and I rotate them. When I first started I wore the same thing every day like an npc.

Now I need to know what you do for a living.

I'm confused why men still wear suits. They look like school uniforms to me, and make men look like overgrown school kids.

Women have far more choice, and the equivalent clothing items on when would be considered too casual. Time this shit changed.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

A well fitted suit looks really nice imo. It gives you the same kind of silhouette as someone who's really buff. If it's poorly fitted, then I agree, it would look like school uniform that's sized up so that the kid grows into it.

Whatever the fuck I want. Usually jeans + t-shirt, though.

That's also what I wore for the company christmas party. But as opposed to all of my coworkers who wore their finest suits and dresses, I had a good reason: I just stopped via the party on my way home from doing field work. And I made sure to let our HSE rep know that I found it disturbing that nobody there wore ESD safe safety boots. Nobody except me, that is.

Nothing. I’m a whore.

No that’s not true. But it was fun to type.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

T-shirt. Boxers. Sometimes a wizard robe. I work from home.

Jeans, button down shirt, gym shoes.

Why yes, I do work in IT!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

My normal street clothes. Jeans and a T-shirt or sweater. In job interviews I wear jeans and a button-down shirt, and look at how others are dressed. If everyone wears a suit, the job won't be a good fit for me. Yes, I'm in IT.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I made the mistake once of being interviewed on a Friday and didn't realize it was smart dress mon-thurs and dress down Friday. Wasn't pleased with that.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever I want. Usually PJs. The three times a year I go into the office, it'll be a tank top, jeans, and combat boots or high tops, generally all black or dark grey. I'll also wear a plaid flannel over the tank top if it's chilly in the office. I save my dressing up for the office Christmas party and shock the hell out of everyone.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever I want as long as there's no obviously inappropriate graphic. Usually just sweater and jeans if it's cold, t-shirt and jeans or joggers rest of the year.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

When I'm working from home 99% of the time PJ bottoms in the summer and sweatpants in the winter. A t-shirt all the time and a fleece vest and fleece jacket over top in the winter. I sometimes wear socks. I wear a toque from the end of summer to the beginning of summer and sometimes during the summer.

When I travel for business, business casual with a t-shirt and dockers

In alphabetical order:

Belt, Drawers, Hat (when outside), Pants, Shirt, Shoes, Socks, Undershirt, Zebra pelt hooded cape with tassels and a snack pouch.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

A cape with a snack pouch! Sounds like an accessory for a skirt without pockets.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Jean shirt, jeans, red socks, blue shoes, red glasses, and a red sweater that's optional. Also a red bra/panties but they're not a part of the job, just a part of what I wear.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I know you're probably a woman, but it's funnier to imagine a man posting this. Either way, nice.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks I guess. The reason I specified the last part is because I wasn't sure whether the question was asking what I like wearing to work or what my workwear is.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I'm the one that messed the question up not including my underwear?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I tend to think of things like clothing questions in terms of the act of wearing rather than what people see/expect, so I often put that in thinking it fits the goal. And then I second-guess myself.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting, in terms of work attire I go pure utility, but it sounds like we have different work environments. For my private life it's usually just whatever is the most comfortable. If I'm cross dressing then it's whatever fits my body type the best and mitigates my shortcomings, lol.

However you interpret it, no need to second guess yourself. It's just your opinion and it's valid either way.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I work in the media industry so it's more aesthetically-based for me. Albeit I wish they let us be choosy enough to not have to adapt to a colour scheme, not that I don't predominantly cycle between four of those as I am just about never out of the day-to-day milieu.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Unless I misunderstand, the last one seems pretty normal. So you just happen to only default on one normal thing? Also, sorry for confusing things earlier and leading to this weird convo path.

Black pants and a security shirt.

Sharply contrasted by my bright pink hair

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Jeans, a t-shirt, unbuttoned long sleeve flannel, and crew shoes. I keep a hoodie in my desk just in case.

I work at a TV station, it's 68°F (20°C) in here all year round.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing, I bring my raw mind power.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Black skinnies and a black tee. Every single day lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Jeans, a T-shirt that came in a 6 pack, and my trusty Red Wings when I'm in the factory. When I'm farming it's an oversized T shirt, basketball shorts, and bare feet. I prefer to ride Shank's mare bareback.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Usually sweatpants and a hoodie

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Scrubs, tennis shoes. Super comfy.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Mono color t shirt and pants or shorts depending on the weather. WFT now, but also the same in the office.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

No dress code here apart from some safety stuff like closed toe shoes, so jeans, T-shirt and sweatshirt.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right now i am waiting tables, so black slacks/ jeans, black undershirt, and either a black polo or dress shirt depending on the weather

T-shirt (warm), Sweatshirt (cold). Doesnt matter if they have graphics. Just not something offensive like "Fuck" etc.
Jeans (don't like slacks) but requirement to go on-site is that they can't be shorts.
Sneakers (sporty or not doesnt matter).

Job: IT-service/sysadmin

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm unemployed at the moment but my last two jobs I worked with plants -- caring for and watering them -- so waterproof boots or sneakers, moisture-wicking cargo or hiking pants/shorts, and a company shirt. If it's cold, I layer a long-sleeved thermal shirt underneath. If it's freezing, a warmer top with the company apron over everything.
