Depends on if I have to be with clients or not. I work from home some days, on client sites some days, and in a office some days. So my mode of dress changes. At home - whatever I want but usually shorts and a tee, barefoot always. At client site - dress is dictated by the code of the client which can be anything from business casual to business dress. I try to maintain a fairly happy medium but keeping it simple with light wool slacks, button down shirt or sweater, and a jacket. My one weakness is shoes which are always high heels and never conservative! At the office - usually jeans or kaikies with a simple button down or sweater. Usually with boots (I love cowboy boots must be the Texan).

that's nice, you could wear any type of clothes. honestly its a frustration to me that i can't wear casual or formal dresses for work! i really love wearing different types of clothes.. but i really have to wear white uniform, since formal dresses won't fit my work!

I hate the idea of wearing a uniform! I usually wear something business casual (sweater, dress pants) but then have to put in my own twist like hikers or sneakers. On Friday we can wear jeans. I don't even like to wear my name badge because it screems 'establishment'. It drove me crazy when I was in the army to wear the same thing as everyone else. Wow! What is wrong with me?

Im working in a jeans company in the philippines and by that we are required to wear casual attire like jeans and shirt or polo. We can wear any brand of jeans as long as it is jeans. Wearing casual in an office environment is very comfortable. Its easy to move freely.

i also enjoyed wearing casual clothes at work before, when im still in a call center. since you can run and put your legs up when you are wearing casual dresses.. but at times i really want to look like a professional..

we do wear uniforms. i do believe its not only for schoolers, as professionals we have too. maybe if we don't wear uniform, you won't recognize us as your health providers..

our company doesn't provide uniforms for us, so we can wear whatever business attire we can wear. but if I were to ask, I wanted a company that has a uniforms.. sometimes, I just don't know what to wear anymore.. I don't have so many clothes, so I always wear the same clothes that I wear last week.LOL. it was so expensive to buy office clothes.. If our company can provide uniforms for us, we wouldn't have to worry about our clothes anymore..and of course, it will be easy for the others to know on where I am working if we have our own uniforms. I am wearing a slacks and blouse whenever I go to work..

I do wear a variety of clothes. During weekdays, I have to wear a set of uniform which were issued to us by the company I am currently working with for almost four years now. Each set is composed of a blouse, skirt, and blazer. I also am used to wearing pantyhose stockings when I wear skirts. During Fridays, we are allowed to wear slacks and blouse because we consider this as our 'wash day'. Some of the employees wear pants and shirts eventhough we are not permitted to; but the Personnel department is quite lenient regarding this at this time because management is already planning to close shop by the end of the present year. But even if this is the case, I still prefer using our uniform because I personally don't have a lot of casual clothes to wear. During trips to the province or picnics or malling, I usually wear pants and shirts because I find them more comfortable to wear. In them, I could sit any way I want to because I don't have to worry about any lingerie or undies being seen by the public. To add up, I'm not particular with brand names, just as long as my clothes are clean and fragrant or smelling okay.

Hi There, I am in the education field and where I work we do not wear a uniform. The students at the school down the street do wear a uniform however. None of the teachers do, but all the students are expected to have one on everyday. I think I would like having a uniform as it would make choosing clothes to put on everyday a bit easier. cheers,

We do have a uniform from Mondays to Thursdays and Friday is our wash day wherein we can wear any clothes we want to wear as long as it is decent enough. I work for the government so my clothes should be respectable. Have a nice day!

We're allowed to dress up pretty casual where I work, but there is a basic dress code. However, a lot of people don't follow it. Generally, I follow the dress code. I wear slacks and a sweater or blouse on Mondays through Thursdays and jeans and a nice blouse on Friday, Saturday, or Sundays. I have a shirt with our logo on it, but it's so freezing cold in every building I work at that I don't wear it.

In our company we do wear uniforms but only a polo jacket, so what i wear when i go to work is just my casual wear - jeans and a shirt. I just have to top it with our uniform. I find it ok since whenever i have an appointment outside i dont need to change my clothes at all; i just removed our polo jacket and im on my usual casual clothing.

When I work from home I am ususally sitting at my pc answering emails or making estimates so it rally does not matter what I wear except that I like to feel comfortable. However, when travelling or meeting customers I fel best with a suit, shirt, and tie. This is the minimum my employer would expect and I respect that.

Our company provides us with corporate uniforms so I have no choice but to wear them. On Fridays, we are allowed to wear any clothes as long as it conforms to office policy.
