What do you wear to work? - Topic of the day 10/18/23
What do you wear to work? Is your work style different than your home style? Does you job have a dress code? If your job has a required uniform how do you make opportunities for yourself to dress up outside of work?

Carhartt top, COS pants, Karhu shoes
since I work in a restaurant I always wear beat-up and worn out jeans and t-shirts with chef shoes. helps me get some use out of clothes that aren't nice enough to wear out anymore.
This plus boots instead of sneakers
whatever you see me wear in #waywt is what I wear to work 😌
what's your job?
I’m in art handling
I make crates for expensive art
that's so dope. do you get to see the art in person or do you just get sent measurements?
Depends, but the crates are specced out by someone else. I build to spec then sometimes we pack it sometimes someone else does
I’ve seen a lot of art though
that sounds really cool. I didn't know that was a job, but it's good to know there's real people doing that and not just robots in a factory somewhere
Yeah as with most production of hard goods, it’s a lot more human based than most people realize
What’s surprising to me is how nonstop the work is
Crating is so hard esp for custom stuff
I had to decrate a machine earlier this year and it took the entire day and borrowing a crane
it's good that there's that much demand for something that seems kinda niche. do you enjoy the work?
borrowing a crane sounds so funny because I'm just imagining you asking your neighbors or something
Our neighbors in the building actually
They’re an art studio so they crate things all the time
And they walked past us struggling and asked if we needed help LOL
LMAOO love it
"here take this crane "
Yeah it’s not bad, we get a lot of freedom and not a ton of looking over our shoulders, and it’s different enough to not be super boring
So tired of this job we’ve been doing for the last 8 weeks though
when i went into the office i wore the same stuff i post on here
tech moment
No more grey cube please
Blessed to WFH, all my fits are worn “to work.”
Flexing on all the startup Patagonia vests
I make coffee so Uniqlo tees, old pants, and comfy sneaks is my uniform
My Stan rays are looking kinda nice all beat up, the spier slim fit chinos not so much lol
hate when a project drags on forever
I’m basically a student advisor but I am also a student
I work in a wet lab and unfortunately do not usually wear my WAYWTs to work on most days. There's a chance to get weird solvents or gross fluids on my nice clothes if I were to wear them in. So usually it's random t-shirts, scrub bottoms, and a lab coat
When I do my ivy dress-up though, that's what I wear to conferences or meetings with academia people
hr dept manager - generally jeans and something with a collar like a button up shirt or polo. tend to push limits a bit with my shoes from time to time with jordans and onitsukas, otherwise i go with minimalist white sneakers (koio). i've found my work wardrobe has gotten more and more casual the further along i get in my career
Uniqlo airism, 874, doc 1460 vegan
Restaurants, bars and coffee shops
Everything I’ve worn in a waywt is probably something I’ve worn at work.
We’ve got a very loose dress code
Scrubs and sneakers is my uniform at work. Catch me in the hospital branded Patagonia though. Makes wearing real clothes on my time off more exciting.
I play saxophone and teach music for a living, I wear dumb shit exclusively
[2x] what I post here is what I wear to work
anyone saying "you wouldn't wear this outside" on reddit etc etc either does not work, works retail, or is a jackass, or some combination of the three
Basically this but I lose the baseball cap and switch the cons for steel toe caps when I get to work
All my waywt, suits on my 1 day in the office but I wear mostly casual suits including my EG stuff.
This what i wear to work
Since i wear this most of my day and am a bit of a homebody i really try to get fitted on the weekends
I definitely am in to tailoring much more than i justify cause my occasions for it are pretty limited
i work nights at a group home, the dress code is really casual + we do a lot of cleaning including bathrooms so i usually just wear sweats and a tee/hoodie in the winter. i try to be clever with my fits sometimes but i have to balance that with being cautious, its not unheard of to get literally pissed on, puked on, or pooped on in my line of work so its a risk to wear nice stuff
No blue color stolen valor in here
hell nah you dont need justification to be swaggy as fuck
I mean i still will chuck on a blazer to run errands and all that haha
I think a lot of the fashion i like feels like social fashion in a way
Maybe i dont need to be wearing like a purple blazer and a big 70s bow just to head to the hobby store and hang out at home with my girlfriend
Thats an outfit thats much cooler in a group of people who also look cool
When i lived on campus and worked in a suit store and got to hang out with people who i worked in a student magazine with the context was there for me to go as hard as i wanted
But i live a much less glamorous life even though i keep collecting the same stuff i wore much more often a couple years ago
Same, fuck it, I'll get dressed up to walk the dog. Whatever gives you joy, embrace fully.
are you a resident?
No, not anymore 😤. I’m in fellowship.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine
Thanks for doing what you do 🫡
