Inline skates
You're either a skating instructor, or an infantry patrolman in the Taliban.
It is uncommon but normal to skate as transport in city.
I'm unemployed at the moment but my last two jobs I worked with plants -- caring for and watering them -- so waterproof boots or sneakers, moisture-wicking cargo or hiking pants/shorts, and a company shirt. If it's cold, I layer a long-sleeved thermal shirt underneath. If it's freezing, a warmer top with the company apron over everything.
T-shirt. Boxers. Sometimes a wizard robe. I work from home.
Where did you get your wizard robe
It was a gift from an old partner. I think she bought a nice bathrobe and then put all the stars on it herself.
Sweatpants, and old t-shirts or polo shirts if there's a video call planned for a given day. I WFH for a company you've heard of, and all the video calls in question are internal.
Beige Icelandic Sweater, brown jeans and fancy black shoes. I look dazzling :)
Jeans, a T-shirt that came in a 6 pack, and my trusty Red Wings when I'm in the factory. When I'm farming it's an oversized T shirt, basketball shorts, and bare feet. I prefer to ride Shank's mare bareback.
Black skinnies and a black tee. Every single day lol
Jeans or Cargo pants, a sweater/hoodie and sport shoes.
When rainy Jeans/Cargo, hoodie and waterproof boots.
Jeans, a t-shirt, unbuttoned long sleeve flannel, and crew shoes. I keep a hoodie in my desk just in case.
I work at a TV station, it's 68Β°F (20Β°C) in here all year round.
Nothing. Iβm a whore.
No thatβs not true. But it was fun to type.
Pyjamas
Usually trousers (really like the Eddie Bauer Ranier pants and shorts), golf shirt, grip6 belt, hiking boots and good socks. Bose QC35s if Iβm in the data center. One customer makes me wear a safety vest. If Iβm working weekends, in some data centers itβs warm enough for shorts (Iβm not doing hardware installs).
If Iβm working at home, whatever I slept in plus a shirt.
Black pants and a security shirt.
Sharply contrasted by my bright pink hair
IT person as well, generally just jeans, sneakers (or other shoes) and some kind relatively plain shirt. Whatever is comfortable and does not contain any shocking images.
Jeans, plain merino tshirt (no stink) and Jim Green African Ranger barefoot shoes (because so comfortable!)
Work in IT.
Ha! Jeans, Merino T, Converse low tops. Accountant.
We used to have to dress up more but COVID broke it. Now we just have to look reasonably put together.
Dark colors that hide dirt and grease to an extent & don't have visible branding. Bonus if it has high durability that still allows movement. Plus some high-vis gear and other PPE.
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.
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.
Jeans, button down shirt, gym shoes.
Why yes, I do work in IT!
PJs. I work from home. Just wake up, stand up and sit in my desk. Unless I have a very specific meet I just stay in my confy PJs. Meetins that require open cameras I just change the top
Used to do that, but I underestimated how important it is to do something before work. Eat, watch an episode of something, take a shower, anything. Going straight to my desk to work was depressing as hell for me.
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.
And how does this relate to what you wear to a job interview
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.
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.
Right now i am waiting tables, so black slacks/ jeans, black undershirt, and either a black polo or dress shirt depending on the weather
Polo/chinos
High-vis pants and shirt.
Whatever I want as long as there's no obviously inappropriate graphic. Usually just sweater and jeans if it's cold, t-shirt and jeans or joggers rest of the year.
T-shirt (warm), Sweatshirt (cold). Doesnt matter if they have graphics. Just not something offensive like "Fuck" etc.
Jeans (don't like slacks) but requirement to go on-site is that they can't be shorts.
Sneakers (sporty or not doesnt matter).
