I really wear like the same 5 things over and over. I’m a loser.
Teaching at community college, I’m supposed to look somewhat professional, although there is a lot of leeway with this, and, come to think of it, I don’t even know if there is a code of any kind for instructors. Anyway…early in the semester I tend to wear my nicer stuff, dresses, nail polish, hair decorations, etc. But as the semester drags on, I don’t bother so much with the accessories anymore, and I have worn dress shorts and even the occasional nice tank.
Also, I am in So. Cal, where it has been very hot lately and things are on fire, so it is not unusual to see professors wearing Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and sandals.
At work: khaki pants (I have three identical pairs, all from LL Bean; I thought I was ordering different colors, but I actually didn’t), button-down shirt (90% of which are also from LL Bean) with or without a tie, black Doc Martens, long white coat. Stethoscope draped jauntily around the neck. Also a strap around my neck holding my name badge, my keys to the office and call rooms, my pager, and my lucky Turkish Eye.
At work, on call (the dreaded 30-hour shift): long t-shirt, scrub pants, rubber Birkenstock clogs (now with new soles!), the aforementioned coat. (It has all my stuff in it.) Also the stethoscope and strap, which when I’m on call contains two other pagers in addition to mine (the Admitting Resident Pager and the Code Pager). (I always say that I’m trying to do for pagers what Mr. T did for gold.)
At home, or outside work: t-shirt, jeans or jean shorts, Chucks, no stethoscope, no pager.
