BoJack Horseman Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What's your sector and what do you wear? Anyone have a non client facing job and still have to suit up every day? I've been fortunate enough never to have had to wear a suit to work (except at the interview) and I'm pretty thankful for that. Casual clothing for me unless I'm meeting a client, then it's smart or smart casual. Anyone sport the walkingtoworksuitandtrainers look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Finance sector I suppose it is technically and dress casual to work all the time (don't meet clients or anything like that so don't need to suit up/dress smart). Shamefully, I actually don't own a suit Always just wore shirt and trousers to interviews so never needed the whole shebang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Working in Advertising and I just ruin my normal clothes day after day. But if I'm presenting to clients I might wear a shirt. Not worn a suit since my banking days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Financial sector. I work in a non-client facing office and I wear a shirt and tie, I'd rather wear that than casual even if I had the option though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the type of job I'd expect them to force you to suit up for you to sit at a desk 8 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think we'd have to when I got offered the job but they're pretty decent with the dress code. Get to rock out in my jeans and a hoody listening to my pod most days so it's not too bad.

Snake Plissken Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Starting a new job in two weeks that will see me need to suit up again. Last job was in admin and I wore a suit for the first few months but then one day I accidentally put my jacket in the wash with everything else and ruined it I wore a shirt and tie for the next few weeks but then one day neglected to wear a tie. No-one said anything so I just stopped wearing a tie for the rest of my time there. At the same time I used to wear a pair of black trainers to work and change them when I got to the office, eventually I stopped changing my shoes and again, it wasn't noticed. Or at least I don't think I was, I genuinely didn't give a shit for the entire time I worked there so it was of little consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.T.K Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I can wear what i want in to work, but chose to go in smart. Smart trousers open collar shirt etc. Want to wear a tie, but really would stick out then. For me it's smarter, looks more professional, and cheaper. My next trousers and M&S shirt combo cost a lot less then the Diesel jeans etc I put on when I get home. Also takes me less time to work out what to put on in the morning .... and when I get home getting changed helps me switch off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
