What do you wear to work?

karat · Post by **karat** » January 20, 2008 8:09 pm

I'm curious....The last two jobs I had I was able to wear anything from Business Dress, Business Casual to nice top and jeans.

With this new position, been here almost 3 weeks, I have to dress . . . IE: suit, dress or dress slacks and nice top. Now I really do not have to go all suit all the time, I will come March... but figure I should get used to it.

So what do you sport to work?

If you are in "Uniform"...I forgot to add that I guess that could be either suit or biz casual...Sorry, I would add it if I could... JUST thought of it!

I am the boss so whatever I feel like wearing. Sometimes a suit , sometimes jeans....but most of the time something in between.

I guess it would be business casual?
Shoes with toes and backs---no sandles of any type

Nice pants and tops (sweaters, jackets, shirts), it depends on the weather.

I work at a school so we have to dress 'appropriate'.

I used to be able to wear nice jeans and nice tops, but not any longer.....

We have casual Fridays (but not "too" casual

)

I usually wear some version of khaki slacks and button down or sweater two days a week, and the other two days I do my impression of dressing like a grown up-pantyhose, heels, etc.

btw, you can still edit your poll. Just go to your initial post and use the "edit" button.

Halter and thong.

Now wouldn't that be scary? Causal. Khakis and button downs.

I added it, Holly.

For me? I work for the Facilities Department. Friday is casual, but many days during the week we find ourselves wearing jeans, depending on the project. Otherwise it's 'just above jeans'. I'm on my feet 75% of the day, so flat shoes are a must. Haven't worn a dress/nylons in years. I can't see me hauling boxes around, and working on printers while dressed up.

Let's See, The Ambulance uniform is lovely black POLYESTER! (100%) with enough badges, ribbons and collar brass for me to look like a Police Officer and to buy stock in Brasso! (long sleeve shirt with tie optional)

At my part-time job its denim shirts, jeans and steel toed boots

For the short period to time I actually had a 7-4:30 office job, it was polo shirts, Wrangler Jeans with cowboy boots.......I actually showed up once in a suit and tie just to watch everyone freak out, and to prove I owned something other than jeans!!!!

We had a meeting once and the principal said the dress was snappy casual---we never did know what that meant

right now i work from home, but i do make an effort most days to work in jeans rather than pajamas....

soon i may have to go to an office again, but it will be a 'jeans are just fine' environment.

One of the GREAT perks of working at the harley shop is that you are expected to dress in jeans and harley shirts, etc........

In my other life, I either wore a uniform or business clothes......so it's a GREAT change for me!!

I change out of jammies when I go outside.

Oh...shorts, T-shirt, beads, and spangly sunglasses? Cool.

Hawaiian shirts and jeans for me. Seriously. For *both* jobs, the corporate one *and* the music one.

"These *are* my other clothes."
