Do you wear holiday attire at work?

For any holiday. Red, white, and blue on July 4th, ugly reindeer sweaters for Christmas, red and pink for Valentine's Day?

I don't wear anything holiday oriented for any holiday at work.

Re: Do you wear holiday attire at work?

Not reeeeeaaallly. I was trying to think if I have anything red for Friday but I don't think I do. I have a green sweater I think, but that's it. I did wear stuff for our Halloween party the past 2 years (this year a witch's hat, last year angel's wings) and I always wear green for St. Patty's Day (if I'm at work) but that's it.

I choose other because I sometimes wear holiday attire. I am a teacher in an elementary school so I wear it to be "spirited" with the children, not because I enjoy it and want to do it. KWIM

I don't. I never thought to do so, actually. I don't think I would though...at least not any time soon. I work in a casual attire environment. However, I always try to look as professional as possible-within that dress code-since the students that I work with are extremely close in age (some are older) to me.

You could still wear a red sweater and look professional! I work in a VERY conservative law firm. The only reason I got away with Halloween costumes was because I wasn't at the desk on Halloween since I was on the party committee.

Reading some of the other responses, I think I took the question a little differently. I took it as reindeer antlers, Halloween costumes, cupid wings, etc.-not colors of the season.

Re: Do you wear holiday attire at work?

I used to work with this woman who would wear holiday sweaters FOR EVERY HOLIDAY. And for the month of Halloween and Christmas it was every single day.
You know those sweaters that people wear to the bad sweater parties? Those were an essential part of her wardrobe. And her jewelry was also themed.

God bless her spirit but, oy vey

Re: Do you wear holiday attire at work?

Nope, not on purpose at least. We had our holiday party yesterday and I wore black pants, a white tank and a coral colored cardigan. Someone told me I was very festive looking Chat Icon

I knew someone like that too.
And she had these cheap plastic earings for all seasons.
Pumpkins, snowmen- all HUGE earings.
It was entertaining.Chat Icon

Re: Do you wear holiday attire at work?

When I worked (its been a while) I would wear something the last day of work before the holiday.

Usually a red or green or a mix of both blouse.

Re: Do you wear holiday attire at work?

To a certain extent, yes. I've been wearing more red & green this past week or two. I wear a green shirt on St. Patrick's Day, orange shirt on Halloween, red shirt on Valentine's Day.
