At work....

On a typical day, how formal or casual do you dress?

I dress very casual at work. Jeans and t-shirt.

I wear polished business casual - I am always more dressed than my coworkers but my boss prefers that because he dresses the same. Jeans are acceptable but I don't really wear them.

Re: What are you wearing?

I dress business casual, I am sure they would like me to dress in a suit but that is not happening.

I have 3 different "levels" of work dress codes. When I am just going to be in my office all day, I dress business casual - which can be pants and nice top or semi-casual dress/skirt. When I have to visit my client (usually 1-2 times per week), I dress nicer, ranging from nicer dress pants to a nice dress or skirt and sweater type outfit. When I have to go to court (I'm an attorney), it's much more business professional - usually a suit or more professional dress/skirt outfit

ETA: I don't work in a typical legal environment so office days are much more casual than at my previous, more typical, law office settingChat Icon

Re: What are you wearing?

Business casual. My go-to is black pants (usually pointe skinny pants), flats, and a nice top. Especially being pregnant....no way in hell I'm getting any more dressed than that to sit behind a desk all day.

But I am just not comfortable in casual clothes or pants of any kind

Re: What are you wearing?

Polished business casual. Some people here take it too casual. We are not supposed to look like we are heading to the beach.

Today I am wearing black ankle pants, button down shirt, ballet flats.

Absolutely no jeans allowed.

What are you wearing?

I wear scrubs, but for training, meetings or anything else it's business casual. The dress code is pretty strict about that. We have the work uniform code and then the in facility dress code. You can wear your scrubs to anything, but if you decide not to it's no jeans, no tank or sleeveless tops, no shorts, no open toed shoes, and of course the no offensive brands or writing/sayings and so on.

That's funny because I am more comfortable that way in a work setting but on the weekend I go the total opposite way. The majority of my weekend wardrobe consists of ripped jeans and flip flops. Nice ones but still Chat Icon

If i know there's some sort of big meeting, i'll put on a dress or skirt with a sweater and dress it up with jewelry.

Business casual. Generally black pants and a sweater or knit top and almost always a cardigan on top of that. I'm always cold.

I have a work issued tshirt and we have to wear khakis or black pants. Most of us wear yoga pants, the guys usually wear khakis.

Re: What are you wearing?

I work from home. So when I'm "working", I'm usually in PJs.

Every day I wear yoga pants (now capris) and a tank top. Think gym clothes. Because I usually go to the gym first thing in the AM, run errands, come home, take shower and put on clean gym clothes Hahahaha. they r comfy.

I laugh because I only look "human" on Saturday nights - where I actually do my hair, full make up and put on jeans, shoes and nice top.

Re: What are you wearing?

Business casual. We're not supposed to wear jeans, sneakers, flip flops, etc. Men are supposed to wear a shirt & tie. But for women it really varies... I'm shocked by what some of the women I work with get away with wearing (super low cut, or short skirts, tight dresses like they just came from the club). Most wear business casual. In the winter I wear either black/grey/khaki pants with a sweater or cardigan & in the summer I wear dresses/skirts or nice capris with a dressy shirt & sandals.
