Wranglers, a button down shirt, and boots.
It doesn’t vary much, and I totally fit my stereotype. I’m actually dressed up a little bit, for working in construction, and the boots are steel toes at work.
At home, it’s usually cowboy boots.
And I never wear ball caps, because they look funny on me. I wear my cowboy hats pretty often, especially if I’m the only one wearing something other than a ball cap.
I do once in a while wear a dress or shorts, but I’m not a big fan of my shiny white legs.
Work: Charcoal jacket and slacks, dress shirt and tie - usually a white shirt. I like a crisp, clean cotton dress shirt - makes me feel good.
Off work: jeans, pocket T, hikers (errr…ankle high boots that are made more like sneakers). In cooler weather I’ll add a plaid flannel shirt to the ensemble, or a sweater - not a pullover!
You know, I’ve had these hikers for…I don’t know how long. Ten years, maybe more…
Work:
Black three-quarter sleeve fitted poplin button-down (I have seven)
Knee length skirt in some sort fo grey or black pattern
Pointy toed black flats or heels
Every single day except on Jeans friday where I substitute a knee length jeans skirt in.
Working out:
Black rowing shorts
grey tank top from Target (I have nine of the exact same style)
Going out:
Low slung pants that show off my lower back tat
Pointy toed cowboy boot shoes
Bullet belt
Black tank top
From the top down:
Always a ponytail, tied with black elastic, sometimes ribboned to match my outfit
Solitaire stud earrings - always
Solitaire necklace - always
On left wrist: stainless steel watch, gold jaguar bangle, tennis bracelet, assorted other chain bracelets
Left hand ring finger: gold buckle ring
Right hand middle finger: changes frequently. Lately I’m wearing a vintage purple glass intaglio ring
Continuing downward:
Baby tee or polo shirt in sherbet colors (pink, lime, yellow, or simply white). In winter I wear a baby tee or black turtleneck under an oversize sweater I’ve had for years, or a cropped turtleneck sweater.
Low-rise jeans or low-rise jeans miniskirt with either a wide leather or canvas “ribbon” belt (ribbon belt for summer mostly). In winter: in lieu of jeans skirts I go for plaid miniskirts, black opaque tights. Less casually: black boot-cut polyester pants, op-print wrap tops.
Footwear- summer: sandals, always heeled. Pedicure, pink or whatever color is hot. Winter: black leather high-heeled ankle boots or high-heeled knee high boots.
Whew. I can’t imagine why anyone would care about this but me, but it’s nice to know that there are other people who have a hard time breaking old dressing habits.
As a public high school student, these days my uniform consists mostly of a pair of jeans, black Converse All-Stars, and a hooded sweatshirt.
My husband calls my underwear my “work pants”.
I work in my home and don’t get dressed every day. I’m usually in a shirt and underwear.
:: shrug :: Works for me!
Work:
black skirt with black button down or black shift dress
black 2 inch strappy sandals or tan 4 inch strappy sandals
no hose since I am hispanic and have tanned very well these last 6 weeks
Home:
Naked ( :eek: ) or sometimes in work out shorts and support bra type tank (black, natch)
Being a Taxi mom:
black capris
Morissey t- shirt
ponytail
white keds
Well, but horsehair is so scratchy, and the monocle makes my eye look like it’s bugging out…
Navy Utilities. Word on the street has it they were designed by a famous parisian. I think they are butt ugly.
My uniform (which is in need of an upgrade, so I’ll be hunting through thift stores once I have moola again) is as follows:
Summer:
Black Tshirt, either for a band I’ve seen in concert (that’s my rule), or some snarky or weird words/picture thing.
Baggy black pants
Black sandals if I’m not doing much walking, black Docs with a dragon on the side if I am.
Black messenger bag covered in buttons, patches, and bumper stickers.
Winter:
Plain black sweaters or long-sleeved T’s.
Again, black baggy pants.
Black Docs.
One of my various long black coats. I have 5. Some women collect shoes - I collect long coats.
Again, black button-covered bag.
I swear I’m not Goth. I’m too lazy.
Fairly normal college student attire would describe my dress style pretty well. Usually a pair of jeans, a long sleeve t-shirt with a short sleeve one over it. Usually I wear a hoodie though, so nobody ever sees what I’m wearing under it. I never wear just one shirt, though. Sometimes people ask me why… I really don’t know. I just feel uncomfortable in just one shirt with nothing under it.
Jeans and a long-sleeve shirt. It’s not a uniform, but it is what I wear to the office. Occasionally I’ll spiff up the outfit with either kakhi’s (khaki’s?) and/or a tie.
No dress code at the office, other than the very-seldom client visit, whereupon I ban the t-shirts and shorts for the day. I had one guy actually complain to me that it was unfair that people of his position had to dress up for a client that probably wouldn’t even notice him sitting there. My reply: “Well, if you don’t want to dress up just don’t come to work tomorrow. And if you don’t come to work tomorrow, then don’t come in the days after that either. Capice?”
Sometimes I’m just amazed at what people will whine about. :rolleyes:
At work: White or black T shirt (beer, bar, or music stuff), old dark green/gray cargo shorts, short white socks, dark sneakers.
At home: White or black T shirt (beer, bar, or music stuff), old dark green/gray cargo shorts, flip-flops.
Yes, I look like a homeless person at work. Luckily, my boss doesn’t care what I look like as long as I get my job done.
And I’m amazed at how bosses always seem to say something similar to that when their employees complain about a dress code. Though i will admit you seem pretty easygoing in that your minions seem to have free rein on days without client visits.
I tend to like jeans and a turtleneck or polo shirt as the season dictates. I usually tuck the shirt in, and I’ve notice that no one seems to tuck in polo shirts anymore, unless it’s a work uniform and they’re required to. Two or three times, recently, I’ve been in a store and mistaken for an employee because I was wearing a tucked-in polo–and that even though I was wearing jeans at the same time.
Client visits happen, maybe, twice a year. “Dressing up” for the visits (i.e., no t-shirts or shorts) is in the employee handbook, which they sign a statement their first week in, stating that they read the thing. So it’s not like I’m dropping some big bomb on them.
Work: Suit, starched dress shirt, neck tie, braces, dark socks, dress shoes.
Home or going out: Depends entirely on what I’m doing and what time of the year it is.

I have an entire drawerful of black t-shirts with subtle differences. I do have two purple ones, but that’s as colourful as I get, really. It’s hard to find really good jewel tones, and I hate pastels. Well, I hate them on me.
Swimsuit, pareo and flip flops.
