    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

            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.

              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.

                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.

                  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.
