7. We can only imagine what your Casual Fridays must be like

[fizzgig]

11. friday is my day off

pants are prohibited

[a la izquierda]

10. A) that shirt is fabulous

B) I wear "nice" clothes to teach. I'm a professor. I generally don't show my tattoos unless it's super hot.

[fizzgig]

17. i had to wear "nice" clothes at my last job

and i always felt so awkward.

i wear a crazy shirt every day unless someone from corporate is in town.

this shirt always gets good reactions

[a la izquierda]

18. One of my favorite movies.

You have great taste in tshirts

[fizzgig]

16. Casual tops, capris or pants, running shoes.

I'm a teacher. When I first started we practically had to "sue" to wear pants suits. It had to have matching top and bottom. We had to wear dress shoes and nylons. Can you imagine that! And I taught on the third floor of a huge ancient high school building.

I am still working without AC, so I'm glad the rules have relaxed. We have casual Fridays but we pay a dollar, which goes into the Christmas fund for needy kids.

[fizzgig]

19. it was junior high, i think, before i saw a teacher in sneakers

i don't think any of my elementary teachers wore sneakers other than the gym teacher.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

20. At the office...

...cargo pants and sport shirt. Working from home, shorts and a t-shirt.

[fizzgig]

23. isn't it awesome to not have to fuss over what to wear at work?

it makes my life so much more awesome.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

29. My work went to jeans a couple years ago...

...but I like my cargo pants. I think I have 6 pairs.

I hated dressing for work. I worked in huge office for one of the major banks for a few months and I had to wear a suit. It was awful. Most places seem to be business casual at most these days. I don't own a tie or a suit now.

Color me happy.

[trof]

21. Back when I did work, I wore a uniform.

TWA pilot.
Made how to dress for work a lot easier.

[fizzgig]

24. there is something to be said about that

i worked at subway for four years and getting dressed was a problem, the forgetting to do laundry was. those shirts got funky.

[jmowreader]

27. You were Air Force before that, correct?

[trof]

35. Not active duty. Aie National Guard.

[Aristus]

25. Khakis, dress shirt, and tie.

And comfortable loafers.

Got to be comfortable and practical in clinical medicine.

[name not needed]

26. Suit and tie.

[jmowreader]

28. Clothes...

I work four days a week - and the shifts are 10 to 14 hours long, depending on workflow, equipment problems, late games etc.

On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday I wear somewhat dressy casual clothing. I always wear a jacket because my little office seems to be the air conditioning source for the whole plant and I'd freeze without it.

On Sunday it's processor cleaning day, so it's jeans and t-shirt.

30. I work at a factory, albeit in the office building.

I generally wear a collared shirt, and for pants either jeans or dress pants. I do try to save the jeans for the weekends so a lot of times I go to work wearing dress pants.

I was thinking earlier today of how much nicer it is to not work in place where I'm not wearing a uniform. When I worked in a restaurant back in the 90s they would only provide one shirt. I wound up buying another one so I only had to wash them every couple days.

[Arctic Dave]

31. Fire retardant clothing.

Steel toe Redwings. Safety Glasses. Hard hat. Various gloves.

[ConcernedCanuk]

32. I'm retired on 28 acres in the bush

33. the crappiest clothes I can find

I'm a chemist and I work constantly with a lot of acids and various things that stain clothes, skin, and everything else. I almost always wear a lab coat over jeans and a t-shirt, but I invariably get drips of stuff on the lower half of my pants and shoes. If I wear it to work, it'll probably get ruined so nobody gives me a hard time.

I'm in the upper tier pay-wise in my facility but you wouldn't guess it by looking at me. I go weeks without shaving, I'm almost always in need of a haircut, and I'm probably the worst-dressed and scraggliest looking person who works there.

I wish I had a picture, but my favorite shirt was given to me by my wife. She took a picture of my face, blew it up and put it on a shirt and wrote "World's Best Dad" on it. Who the hell wears a shirt with their picture on it? Me! I do! I'm that guy! Why would you put a picture of your kids on a "world's best dad" shirt? The kid's aren't the best dad, I am!

[B Calm]

34. Retired, but when I work around the property

I wear rags!

[hobbit709]

36. Most days, just shorts.

One of the advantages of working for yourself at home

[Dash87]

37. Armor and my trusty Viking war axe

Not really - I'm boring like 99% of others.

[OriginalGeek]

38. Mind-numbingly dull khakis and polos

with the occasional slacks and dressier shirt. We get to have casual Fridays so I have deemed every Friday to be "Tropical Friday" so I wear jeans and a have a couple different Hawaiian flowerdy shirts that I rotate through.

I don't have a lot of latitude in making things interesting so I spend money on shoes. Allen Edmunds wing-tips, Lucchese ostrich skin boots, and some more casual Eccos and Johnston and Murphy. I never wear the same pair of shoes more than once every three days. I have shoes that have lasted years and years and all my shoes are comfortable just because I got it in my head once that that was the way to do it. Spend money on good shoes (not trendy shoes - just good, classic, comfortable) and skimp on everything else until you don't have to. I might not always be pretty but my feet don't hurt.

I'd wear a kilt if they'd let me. Scaredy cats are worried about the public though. Even though I rarely interact with them.

39. I am no longer working,

but when I was, my office had an ultra casual atmosphere. It was a publisher for outdoor magazines, hunting and fishing, etc. So we could wear pretty much anything we wanted, except for maybe short shorts.

[wild bird]

40. No longer work.

But when I did, I wore a uniform, not military, but a public service uniform.

[Myrina]

41. "Business casual" but an IT shop, so

Oct - May it's khakis or black dress pants & a polo or sweater, clogs or flats.
June - Sept it's dresses, capri's, t shirt-type casual wear w/ sandals.

Folks here can 'buy' jeans coupons thru HR (donates the $ to charity) & wear them all year 'round but it's not worth $125 to me, especially when it's 95 degrees outside. I'd rather wear a dress and sandals.

[tabbycat31]

42. I can pretty much wear whatever I want

As long as it's within reason (ie not something better designed for the bedroom,etc).

In the summer I usually wear jeans or a casual dress and flip flops.

The only time I wear suits/formal dresses is for occasions that call for it (high dollar fundraisers, etc). I am a campaign staffer.

[loli phabay]

43. a smile

[Shibainu]

44. Brown. n/t

[Populist_Prole]

45. Cotton/synthetic blend work uniform

Collared button down shirt and trousers and Red Wing work boots. The shirts and pants represent the worst of both worlds: They provide little insulation from the cold. They don't breathe and can get clammy as hell in the hot/humid climate, but if they get wet or damp, it tends to evaporate quickly after coming inside into the air conditioning to eat. I can't wait to get out of them at the end of a hot work day. They do wear like iron though.
