Would You Rather Wear a Uniform or Business Casual?

Hi mchavez11. Wearing office uniforms would be more economical. However, I personally prefer to wear business casuals than office uniforms. This way, I could choose business clothes based on its style and comfort.

It depends. If the uniform looks good then I am going to wear it but if not then I will prefer wearing business casual rather than the uniform

Where I work, we have to wear uniforms. I feel lucky though because it is a doctor's office and our "uniforms" are scrubs every day. It almost feels like I get to wear pajamas to work. They are very comfortable and they are provided to us for free. We get a new weeks worth of scrubs each year. I love my job and love what I have to wear. The only downfall is that I enjoy wearing scrubs so much Monday through Friday, it's hard to put jeans on on the weekends!

I never had to wear uniform and I'm glad that my workplace is not too strict with the business casual code. In ordinary, non-meeting days, we typically just wear jeans. For me, polo shirts or dress shirt (tie is optional) and for women, just some nice blouse or top. Then I get to wear flip flops - though I leave my heels in my office. The only time we wear business clothes is for meeting with clients and what-not. You have to look professional when you meet with clients. I like my workplace - not too strict when it comes to dress code.

Hi,mch,I am an independent and i have consultancy on biodiesel..when ever farmer wanted my services,then only i will go out side,may be 7-10 days at a stretch,otherwise,i will be at home only.During that job days,i wear dark color dresses,because,in field level,dresses may become spoil too early. http://www.newjatrophaworld.com Have a nice time.

of course i like most to ware formal clothes, maybe people thought that waring a decent clothes do not represent who/what is really their personality ,however maybe due to have different perception of every body,maybe one of the best thing is that uniform or business casual represent that you have able to wear that clothes because you are qualified enough to have and show to others not in negative perspective but in a Positive way!!

Hi mchavez11, I think I agree with you. It is better to have a uniform because we can always wear the same clothes without washing for two consecutive days without anybody noticing or giving a bad comment. If we are not wearing uniforms, we have to purchase a lot of clothes because we don't want to wear the same outfit for two days in a row. And moreover we don't even want to wear the same outfit in the same week because many people have bad mouths, they will gossip about us from what we wear and all. If we use uniforms, it is enough if we only have 5 or 6 pairs the most. Most of us will only have 3. We can wash the same uniform yesterday, and wear it again tomorrow without any judgment from anybody because everyone else is wearing the same thing. Wearing uniforms also makes us become equal in standard so there is no competition. No competition in the means of dressing up and showing what we have in our clothes collection. This reduces the feelings of jealousy, sabotaj among workers because of envy and all the dirty feelings coming up from rivalry.

i guess a uniform would be easier because sometimes it is hard to think of something to wear when you get up in the morning! we have business casual at work and jeans on fridays which is good.

I wear a uniform where I work at. It's actually nice to have company provided uniforms versus my clothes and having to figure out what to wear everyday.

I would rather wear casual clothes. Now I am facing such problems. I am compelled to wear business suit at work. If I don't, I will be fined each day. The problem is that the company hasn't offered me a uniform at all but compells me to buy one suit myself for the time being. Yes, I am wearing a white shirt, black pants and black suit, dark brown high heeled shoes. still, the company demands me to buy the ordered suit from the company. I have to pay 200.00 yuan for it, that's 30USD. SO now, my own favorite clothes are laid off !

I prefer business casual. I like to be able to express my personality in the clothes I wear.

I was never fond of wearing uniform or even my ID. So I'd say I rather go with the business casual. From where I work though, simply casual is ok. No need to wear slacks and stuff. We can wear anything decent. After all, it is the quality of work that is important not the quality for clothes one will wear. Actually, I read in one book, dress code is one of the unneccessary rules that can be dropped in a company policy. It does not have any direct impact on quality of work unless of course if you are required to face clients often.

@mchavez11 As soon as the dressing is under the threshold of casuals/informal I do not feel that there should be any dress code . At times , for certain roles that involves meeting with clients or business groups do need to pay a heed on get-up .

In out Company we can wear anything we want to but it must not be so revaling as well as not that funky

I work in a health-care clinic, so we have to wear scrubs. Our company wants us to look somewhat like a team, so they actually provide us with some free scrubs a couple of times a year, which is very helpful. I love the fact that I don't have to come up with an outfit to wear every day. I much prefer a set uniform, where I don't have to think about it. The schools i went to growing up, also made us wear uniforms, and I was ok with it then as well.

I don't mind the clothes I use for work as long as it looks good on me. I believe that dress code depends on the kind of office and what they do. I don't mind uniforms though sometimes it is cute

I will just look around .I will study the working environment and will try to find out what suits best.I all my co-workers wears uniform then it is not a big deal for me to wear uniform.If the dress code rule is not so strict the I would like to go for business casuals.

We don't have a dress code in ours, so thats good for me as I hate wearing uniforms at work. As long as it is a decent one, then you are free to go inside the office. The only downtrend of it is that I have to buy several clothes a year because all my clothes are used almost every week. But better than wearing those semi-formal attire called uniforms.lol.

I have had enough of uniforms during my school days and would any day sport my new outfits though casual that would break the monotony of seeing those uniforms not only on me but also on my other colleagues.

I prefer to have a uniform, cos first thing in the morning the last thing I want to do is have to make decisions on what to wear! Only thing I hate is all the rules that go with it, even a uniform policy someone got paid a shed of dosh to write that balony!, no strippey sox, no strange hair do's, no makeup statements! no personality! but hey rules are made to be broken right? lol!
