    Business casual for me, Tuesday thru Thursday

    On a related note, did you ever notice how much better salespeople treat you when you are dressed up? It's unreal.

    Dress up? Shit, they're lucky if I remember to put on pants.

    Hey,

    I usually wear a suit or slacks and a sportscoat on teaching days. I'm a prof in a business school, which has rather dressy clothing norms. Plus, I like to project a professional image to my students. On non-teaching days (like today), I'm jeans and sweatshirt (or rugby) down.

    Peace,

  • I don't wear jeans though, so I'm rockin some velour joints today.

    What does one wear with velour pants?

    Perhaps a silk shirt with ruffles, unbuttoned to the waist, and a large tiger-eye medallion?

    This actually made me laugh out loud.

    Over in the world to television production they don't give a fuck what you wear.

    I'm rocking a $2 shirt, some $10 jeans and some $25 reeboks, and I still look better than most of y'all.

    I'm also wearing bloodshot eyes and a silly ass grin and a case of the munchies right now.

    Today my job has me going to the OC to meet up with Antonio Sabato Jr., a porn star, and Hobie from Baywatch.

    Never That!!!

    But I thought you worked at Jollibee? Don't you wear the Jollibee costume at work?

    Ironfeet at work....


    Completely off topic, but one of my relatives had a birthday party at Jollibee's when we were little & someone tried to feed the bee a french fry. Unfortunately the mouth on the costume's head lined up with the person's nose so the french fry ended up in the wrong hole. Maybe that's why the bee in this picture has a closed mouth.

    Jeans and whatever... However:

    I wish we would go back to the days when all the men wore a suit -- starting with like junior high kids. I dont mean a double breasted 1000 dollar power suit or anything, just a regular cheap suit and tie like they did in the twenties and whatnot. I think people would treat eachother with more respect and decency. And it would erase this whole "the clothes make the man" and "what you wear makes a statement." Im tired of making a statement with my clothes, or wearing certain clothes so people can indentify me. Idle thoughts.

    You want to be forced to wear a cheap suit?

    Or you want dudes that are outshining you to be forced to wear cheap suits?

    I'm not feeling this.

    My theory is that if someone is going to judge me by my clothes or appearance they're someone who I wouldn't want to associate with anyway......so dressing down can be used to weed these types of folks out of your life.

    Nobody's saying you would have to wear a cheap suit... a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.


    I wear whatever the fuck I want.

    thats my philosophy as well -- but even dressing down in non-indentifiable clothes makes a statement of some sort and people judge you by that. I guess I just want to live in a utopia.

    i think we should go back to the days when everyone in the service industry had to wear a special uniform. Prefereably with dumb little hats for men, and miniskirts for the ladies.

    i have seen these making a tiny comeback, but for the most part, double breasted suits went out in the mid 1980s, right along with tie clips.

    if I had to wear a tie to work, Id wear one of those every day. The thing about ties is that they choke my neck, and so Im always loosening it and I look like Rodney Dangerfield...RIP.

    I have been trying to dress a bit more professionally then is required. I am actually starting to think it makes a difference.

    It probably is. It always amazes me how people respond to you when you are dressed up or wearing a suit. I can't help to think "SUCKERS". Some people can be so gulliable.

    I wear shirt & tie every day to work. I always rock a tie clip too, The whole shirt & tie thing seemed weird at first, but after 5 years it's just the norm now. I'll even be rocking the suit on Sunday night at Chapel.

    Escada for all occasions, and can't nobody tell you different.

    Is this the bitterness of a dude whose mommy doesn't allow him to wear "whatever the f**k he wants"?

    With the exception of weddings when I had to be in the wedding party, I haven't worn a tie in almost 20 years. Catholic school scarred me for life.

    What a coincidence! KingMoist wears a flaming jumpsuit to his job, too:

    I wanna know how Fauxy does it up in the workplace.

    I usually wear nice jeans, heels and a sweater, I don't really have a dresscode per se, but it helps to be taller than the kids and it makes me feel more "adult". Friday is college sweatshirt and Air Forces day though.
