What do you wear to work?

[darklinensuit]

A thread inspired by Marissa Marceau and her new all-black uniform. :)

I wear a tie but no jacket. (Yes, I wear pants, shoes, shirt, etc., wiseasses of the Ledge.)

I was going to say...Jake wears nothin' but a tie and a smile to work ;)

Aww...i've inspired :xoxo: You know, we are now allowed to wear a white shirt if we want. I have a feeling the shirts they were trying to make us buy aren't going to happen... no one is paying up. Tomorrow will probably be all black again but Thursday might be black skirt, white shirt, black strappy heels day

Please. I don't smile.

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

Please. I don't smile.

- Jake

I seem to recall a certain someone smiling :nod: Evidently, it does happen. But, okay, so you only wear the tie ;)

[skcin]

Dress casual (mostly khakis, skirts or dress pants, but I can get away with jeans once in a while.) I love it, but there's always talk around about "should we start wearing uniforms?" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

During the week it's business casual. But Friday are cool because we can wear jean's. :nod:

[hayley]

Our version of business casual means jeans every day! And a nice shirt. Today, however, all the bigwigs from New York are here and we were ordered to play and dress nice, complete with black pants, nice shoes, and fishnet trouser socks. Rowwwwr.

[terrivac]

we are business casual M-Th and jean and tees on Friday. Gotta love working in higher ed. :nod:

[kak125]

I can wear anything I want to work so some days I wear mini skirts or shorts when it is warm or jeans and a t-shirt or tank top with sandals or tennis shoes. I have even worn one of those velour track suits to work. I am so glad that we dont have to dress up but I do enjoy wearing my finest clothes a couple of times a month.

[golden braid]

I wear jeans or riding pants with tee shirts, polo shirts, or turtle necks depending on the weather. I love not having to get dressed up to go to work. :D

[Villavic]

Complete formal suit, with tie and shoes.
But casual fridays!!!

[DeeGeMe]

Until noon today, I was still in my jammies from the night before. Now I've got on a polo shirt and shorts, no shoes. Did I mention that I'm a writer/researcher and that I work at home? When I do have to go into our corporate office (about 2 hours away) or meet with a client, it's business casual. I usually wear a sweater set and slacks or a skirt or something similar. The great part is that I rarely have to go to the corporate office or meet with a client-maybe once every three months or so. I love my job!

[tuigirl]

We have to wear our uniform...navy skirt/pants ( I wear the latter coz I'm up and down at the shelves all day!) BRIGHT blue shirt (with oranges/cherries and strawberries on it) and SUPER bright orange fleecy :D ..needless to say, I can't wait to get home and change into the casuals..haha

[macmar71]

I wear scrub tops and scrub pants in sedate colors as I work in a medical office. Sneakers complete the outfit.

[Sorcerer386]

I wear Aeropostale clothing because, well, that's where I work. :D

[DrummerDeanna]

Well..it differs from day to day...if I am going out to interview anyone or going out to cover a story I usually wear nice pants and a nice shirt...business casual type stuff...

when not interviewing...I wear jeans or shorts..and usually am too lazy to do my hair..so a bandana..basically what I'm wearing in the picture thread...not the nice pic of me...but the one on the later pages.. :)

[dissention]

Depends on the day. :D Sometimes I go for some leather pants, other times I just go with a t-shirt, khaki's, and sandals (NOT Birkenstocks and without socks). It all depends on what I'm doing that day.

So you've finally retired the whips, chains, and assless chaps? :laugh:

[sara1998]

Jeans, a nice shirt, and whatever shoes. I prefer not to wear open shoes to work as sometimes I have to go into the production area, and it's steel toe required out there. Plus, I don't keep my toe nails painted..... ;)

Before I took an office job, it was an all white uniform, steel toe boots. Sometimes I'd have to get dressed up in an acid suit, complete with airtight breathing helmets..... I did pharmaceutical production, and delt with lots of chemicals. I really miss that job... :distress:

No, they still get some use. However, I've graduated into using cattle prods and, as a nod to Stevie, chiffon tie-ups. :thumbsup:

[cliffdweller]

(Yes, I wear pants, ....

:blob1:

:laugh:

[cliffdweller]

Interesting.

Leather pants in Austin during the summer is just asking for trouble.

And since I live in Austin, and do a lot of walking around campus, I go for cool and comfortable most of the year. I like to wear skirts a lot, comfy sandals, jeans, etc. and like you Dissention, I shun birkenstocks. And since I'm a student and work on campus, I can go as casual as I want.

Well, you know, sometimes looking good overrides being practical. ;)

Leather pants rawk, though. I must have ten pairs; brown, black, stone-washed, red. But you have to know how to wear them to pull them off. I gag when I see people walking down the street with their pants tight on the hips and thighs, but loose on the ass. Always buy them one size smaller than you wear.

May I ask what you do? What's the argument for uniforms?

Guy here. Define business casual, please.

You lost me. Isn't fishnet a kind of panty hose?

- Jake

Question: Do you find that your mood/behavior/manner is different on Fridays because of the relaxed dress?

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I have even worn one of those velour track suits to work. I am so glad that we dont have to dress up but I do enjoy wearing my finest clothes a couple of times a month.

I just had a flashback. When I was eleven I think half my shirts were velour. (Same shirt, different colors.) :laugh:

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I like turtlenecks. One of the few things I miss about a colder climate.

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

Sorry, I quit that Chippendales job. (Explains why there's no longer a rush on tomatoes.)

I like a nice shirt, tie, pants and shoes, but I hate wearing a jacket.

Jealous here. How'd you come across this position?

Sounds comfy, but I could never be around blood. Another reason my parents didn't raise the doctor they wanted.

And it would also explain the recent depletion in your bank account :nod:

When I met you, you struck me as a casual kind of person (in a good way).

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I don't think I've ever owned sandals. (Or leather pants, for that matter. I do own khakis. And socks.)

Until the last two sentences, I was picturing a nurse's outfit with steel-toe boots. I was intrigued. ;)

- Jake

Don't you mean "whom" instead of "what"?

Let me guess. Hyde Park?

Enough about pulling them off. We don't need that image. :shocked: :lol:

And it would also explain the recent depletion in your bank account :nod:

Depletion? Who needs a bank account when a string will do? :cool:

I'll be sure and steal a fist full of ones from my toll booth register for next time we meet up :laugh:

[sodascouts]

Getting in on this a little late...

Since I am a graduate student teaching college freshman and I look a little younger than my advanced age, I tend to dress up for work. I wear skirts and blazers and panty hose and heels and all that. I feel it gives me a sense of authority so that guys don't get the impression I'm someone they don't have to respect just because I'm a little younger. This last week, under a crushing load of papers, I stopped caring and started to wear jeans and T-shirts, with my hair going every which way. They were astonished, lol!
