Work Attire

[basil6345789]

In keeping with the modern guidelines of LGBTQTD dresscodes this last few days, I went to work wearing a tiara, tutu and high heels.
I got battered wi 't lads.

Things have definitely got more tolerant, where I was brought up you got battered if you could dance.

After turning up to an interview for my current job in suit trousers, tie and jumper i was criticised for not wearing a full suit (didn't have one).

Upon starting the job was then roundly abused for 2 years for wearing a suit until I finally gave in and stopped wearing it.

dress code, interesting subject that revolves around which country you are in and what profession to an extent.

Hubby complains they have a dress code which is actually smart casual in the USA, very rare for people to wear suits/ties except for the executives plus sales. However no jeans or things like mini mini skirts, they do a "casual jean Friday" where if you wish for $5 you can wear jeans to work, all money collected from this goes to a charity. However his complete is that nearly all clients at all levels working in the office come everyday in jeans and trainers.

Additionally he says there is a much higher % of people who wear smart with ties in the UK office than any other office around the world.

I went for an interview about a year ago dressed in a suit, Jesus I have never felt so out of place in my life, I was probably the oldest at 56 and everyone else looked like they were going to a Goth Fest, I didn't half feel stupid.

I do like living here for things like this. Due to start at a new place and sent an email to check dress code ahead of a few purchases of work gear:

"The usual dress code is business casual. Appropriate attire are neat and clean pants, sweaters, cardigans, jackets, t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, shorts, etc."

My office has a dress code of suit pants and smart shirt. I actually usually wear the suit jacket and a tie as well. I just feel more professional that way. Look good, feel good and all that.

I used to work in an office with a dress down Friday and the pressure to wear your best clobber to the office was immense. Was like a fashion show every week. I just wanted to wear my scruffy jeans and a t-shirt or footy top, which I did eventually after realising I didn't care what people thought.

We have a dress down Friday at work and whenever I happen to be in the office on a Friday I usually have a pair of trackies (denim shorts in summer) and my Burnley shirt on, but you can tell that some people really make an effort to wear their best clothes.

Not sure about that - Chris Pearce never seemed to get any stick for it
