What is your office/school dress code

WendyTerry420

I am glad the company I work doesn't have some of the OPs policies. Geez, that would suck...lol.

Same here! I love my denim and comfortable shoes!

I'm jealous of most of you. I have to wear black. Seriously. All solid black. Black slacks/skirt, black shirt and black third piece (a sweater, suit coat, or cardigan). We always have to have three pieces on. Black shoes. They can be open toed April 1 - Oct 31. Other than that they have to be closed toed. Occasionally the company will allow us to wear a different color shirt but they tell us the color and it has to match almost exactly (as in you take a swatch to the store and match it up).

Do you work at a morgue?!? That's downright depressing sounding!

Believe it or not I work in the beauty industry--makeup, not hair.

Our company's official dress code actually does not list a single item of clothing that is considered acceptable or unacceptable. It basically says "Try not to be a moron, but if you are pretty clueless about what constitutes 'business casual,' see your supervisor."

I work for a global investment firm and our dress is corporate conservative.

Suit and tie for men.
Skirt or pants suits for the ladies.

A lot of the female support staff wear slacks or skirts with nice tops or sweaters rather than suits. Male support staffers get by without a jacket/blazer but still required to wear a tie.

We're not supposed to be allowed to wear skirts/dresses without hosiery but the office manager waives that during the warmer weather provided we don't go crazy with the footwear. Open toe or strappy shoes/heels are allowed but no traditional sandals. Definitely nothing that goes "flip/flop".

We're also not supposed to be allowed to wear sleeveless tops but I wear them all summer under my suit jackets and just take my jacket off when I'm in the office. No one has ever b!tched. Yet.

Mine is casual or business they don't really mind we can wear jeans on friday and a tshirt from work if we want. All tats must be covered no facial piercings one stud in the ears only. Hair must be pulled out of your face. I work in the accounting department of a hospital.

EMT: uniform> sky blue medical scrub with black nonslip shoe
( we change from normal day clothes before shift after reaching hospital). Most other have similar uniform in different colors .doctors were formal clothes with white coat in out patients a and normal wards but they too change into scrubs in restricted areas.
Piercings other than ear and nose in women and tattoo s are not that common in my country and there is no corporate directions spelled out for them

Anything as long as it's not slutty or sweatpants.

I have days where I wear dresses and others where I wear my cowgirl jeans and boots. It really depends on what type of work I'm doing that day.

I work in the front office of a manufacturing plant. Plant employees wear uniforms and steel toed shoes.

It's a tiny office and everyone just wears whatever the heck they want. Mostly jeans and polos or tees. Sneakers.

I wear business casual clothes most of the time. Jeans only 1-2 days per week usually, because I love skirts and dresses and other types of pants. Once in a great while I'll wear jeans and sneakers to work (a look I think is pretty tacky tbh) with a matchy top or track jacket, if I know I'm going to be moving lots of files around or something else semi-physical.

Pretty much the only thing that is frowned upon in a major way here would be visible tattoos or facial piercings for non-plant employees.

My old job was jeans and a t-shirt. That was really convenient for when I needed to get downstairs quickly and I could take one of the slides with no worrries about messing up a suit.

Booksandbeaches

I want to work there!

dying to know where you are from...I am guessing not the USA? I've never seen actual mention of cleavage (that just seems SO outside the realm of corporate-speak) and have not seen the word 'blouse' in a dress code since I was a teen.

Our office has a bit of a split, office casual for our Office Manager/General Cat Herder, and for us the Property Managers, its suits (no ties) or slacks and jacket. Pressed shirts (button ups only), dress shoes. During the summer, on Fridays a golf shirt and slacks is ok, as long as we are not doing collections that day. No jeans, T-shirts, runners/sneakers, Tat's non-visible, no piercings (except ear lobes, no stretching), hair colour natural (no crazy dye jobs). For our maintenance crew jeans, steel toes and non-graphical t-shirts/work shirts (fairly relaxed for the boys who get dirty and do the 'real' work).

Fairly conservative industry and office culture.

My office doesn't have a real dress code in writing. Last summer there was talk of banning any sandals that made a flip-flop sound (the anticipation of this made me a bit nuts)--there was also talk of banning sleeveless shirts. We have a broad range of dressers here. I typically wear jeans, flats and comfortable tops--I try to use scarves and other things to "dress up" the outfit. We also have employees who wear business casual. Almost every Friday, the whole office is in jeans and company-logoed tops (t-shirts, track jackets, sweatshirts, etc.)

Nudity is encouraged but not mandatory, and men must wear nipple tassels on their junk every other Tuesday.

Edited to add serious answer:

Last place I worked had a business casual dress code. Everyone, regardless of gender, was to wear business-appropriate shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts (at least knee length), shoes (no heels over 3'', no open toes, no sandals), dresses (at least knee length), and there couldn't be visible tattoos or non-traditional piercings (only one piercing in each each ear permitted). When big clients were scheduled to visit the business formal dress code was enforced, so, suits (black, navy, or dark grey), dress shoes/heels (black, grey, or navy), and no jewellery.

I work from home so anything I dam please.

whatever the heck we want

tattoos - crazy colored hair, dresses shorts, jeans, flip flops, flannels -- we don't judge

michellemybelll

we're super duper casual. i'm a project manager at a very small HR firm, and we never deal with clients in person - always over the phone or email. So it really does not matter. Today i wore yoga pants, a t-shirt, and flip flops, and that's my typical attire most days. I used to wear heels more often, but they hurt my feet so i've just decided meh. i love it. it'll suck when i work for a company that requires me to look presentable on a daily basis.

I own my own business so whatever I want really, but normally shorts, a polo, and flip flops. -Love it here in South Florida, you people need to quit moving here...

mstripes

Clothing, clean.

kholcomb51

I just try not to dress like the students I teach. So, self-prescribed dress code is no short shorts or tights as pants (whatever those things are called: they look like tights to me). Maybe if I did wear those it'd up my hotness quotient on ratemyprofessor, though. No, probably not.

Ah, a lot of therapy places seem to have that attire. Dunno if it's good or not. Seems a bit miserable. In therapist mode, I wear the corporate colours of my business (blue, black, greys).

tapirfrog

Pants. As in, they want us to have some on. I went into my line of work partly because of the lack of dress code.

Geoj0

am i the only one that finds it disturbing someone asking what your 'school' dress code is? :noway: Maybe im just an over protective parent lol

Shananigans_

We don't have one, thankfully

RhysWill_I_Ams

This actually went round my office recently about uniform;

"Nothing racist, sexist, ageist, or homophobic
Shorts are fine so long as it leaves something to the imagination (men and women)
No flip flops.
Tattoos are fine unless you are a male with tribal on your arm, or a woman with a fairy, stars, or a Chinese symbol"

Geoj0

That will be all the staff going for cover ups then lol

traynorj82
