    lol... eagerly awaiting responses from that username!! I was careful to preface the title with Fashion spot :wink:
    The What are you wearing title alone sounded a bit pervy!!

    Purple scrub pants, a black tee and a fleece sweater. Comfy.
    I actually miss getting to wear nice clothes to a job.

    Go for dresses, they are super easy, comfortable and it makes you look like you made an effort.

    Me? Why me?

    I'm not into fashion at all. I have some sense of style, but it's classic menswear type stuff, and unlikely to stand out at all.

    Today:
    White Stan Smiths
    Navy blue cords
    White button collar polo
    Two weeks of beard

    Phew!! sounds good, although not something I can replicate (well the two weeks of beard anyway)!!!

    I was expecting descriptions of underpants when I saw your handle :blush: !!

    Dressing for work is easy.

    Typically, navy blue dress pants, a nice dress shirt and a tie is the uniform.

    Just make sure the belt matches the shoes and the socks most always match the pants.

    Wear a great watch & you're good to go.

    A 17th century ruffled shirt and a pair Michigan State sweatpants. You'll have to excuse me, it's hump day after all.

    Today I’m wearing a dress from ModCloth. This is the one https://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/louche-drive-me-dainty-dress/154824.html

    They sell a lot of pretty dresses for work, along with tops and bottoms. If unsure every category features a “work” section, making it easier to select your pieces.

    Banana republic sells cute women’s suits.

    The gap sells a pant called skinny ankle pant. I have them in almost every colour. They look cute with a blazer or a pretty blouse.

    Hope it helps some!

    Cute dress! I love Modcloth, even if some of their things I love the most are a little bit "Kimmy Schmidt" for a 50 year old lady.

    I work from home so today is a Gaiam t-shirt and running shorts. But I like buying clothes so I keep accumulating outfits which would be more suitable for my imaginary office job. Today I bought a green (faux) leather pencil skirt because someone posted a picture of Megan Markle in a similar skirt and I love green leather anything - my goto jacket is a pine green moto jacket. She wore hers with a green satin blouse, I think mine is going with a grayish purple watercolor blouse.

    It's always the same for me. Some sort of dark colored polo shirt and black(ish) colored slacks, with brown suede ecco shoes.

    I attempt to keep my polo shirts in the black and gray color scheme, but occasionally I step out and might wear darkish blue or midnight plum purple, and once in a long while I'll put on a dress button up shirt in red, yellow or green, but not often.

    I like black, it really does take a few pounds off the look of you, my next door office mate never wears dark clothes and he's MASSIVE (maybe 450 lbs plus) and looks even more MASSIVE in bright colors. Me I look at least 10 lbs lighter in dark clothes and get compliments all the time how I look good in black (even though I'm a total pale ginger).

    Jeans in my office? No way, no how, no sir! The only time people get away with jeans is if they are on a day off and coming in for some unpaid hours to catchup with some work, other than that my employer says no to jeans or overly casual ware.

    I'm not wearing anything special today, but my favorite brands are white house black market and ann taylor. I buy almost all of my clothes from thredup so I can afford the nicer brands.

    I only wear expertly tailored garments from Prada or Versace.






    or sometimes from the sale rack at Target.



    ..... okay, mostly Target.

    I don't have a workplace.
    I wear pretty comfortable clothes most days because I am home. As it is getting colder I have leggings or yoga pants, jeans, sweaters, long sleeve knit shirts, and some long sleeve button up men's shirts. I tend to layer clothes in cold weather. I very rarely wear skirts or dresses. I like wearing colorful tops and sweaters as it improves my mood. I wear sneakers or boots I guess in cooler weather.
    No particular brands or stores.

    Navy double windowpane wool slacks. I love these, have had them for about a year.

    That's almost exactly how I dress !



    except for the pants

    and the shirt

    and the shoes.







    .... I usually just wear a belt.



    and maybe a watch.

    Self-employed, work from home. I'm wearing men's sweatpants and ISU t-shirt because I'm too fat to fit into my female-marketed clothes.

    Jeans, a football shirt from my son's school, Uggs and a hoodie. I look a hot mess, but it's the homecoming game tonight so I gotta represent.
