    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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
