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.

what's your job?

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 4:42 PM

I’m in art handling

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 4:42 PM

I make crates for expensive art

jimi•10/18/23, 4:43 PM

that's so dope. do you get to see the art in person or do you just get sent measurements?

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 4:47 PM

Depends, but the crates are specced out by someone else. I build to spec then sometimes we pack it sometimes someone else does

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 4:47 PM

I’ve seen a lot of art though

jimi•10/18/23, 4:56 PM

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

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 4:59 PM

Yeah as with most production of hard goods, it’s a lot more human based than most people realize

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 5:00 PM

What’s surprising to me is how nonstop the work is

sharloy•10/18/23, 5:00 PM

Crating is so hard esp for custom stuff

sharloy•10/18/23, 5:01 PM

I had to decrate a machine earlier this year and it took the entire day and borrowing a crane

Bbishopcorrigan What’s surprising to me is how nonstop the work is

jimi•10/18/23, 5:02 PM

it's good that there's that much demand for something that seems kinda niche. do you enjoy the work?

jimi•10/18/23, 5:03 PM

borrowing a crane sounds so funny because I'm just imagining you asking your neighbors or something

sharloy•10/18/23, 5:04 PM

Our neighbors in the building actually

sharloy•10/18/23, 5:04 PM

They’re an art studio so they crate things all the time

sharloy•10/18/23, 5:04 PM

And they walked past us struggling and asked if we needed help LOL

jimi•10/18/23, 5:04 PM

LMAOO love it

jimi•10/18/23, 5:04 PM

"here take this crane "

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 5:08 PM

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

bishopcorrigan•10/18/23, 5:08 PM

So tired of this job we’ve been doing for the last 8 weeks though

mewball•10/18/23, 5:16 PM

mewball•10/18/23, 5:16 PM

No more grey cube please

pacific_north_dressed•10/18/23, 5:27 PM

Blessed to WFH, all my fits are worn “to work.”

imbadatusernames•10/18/23, 5:41 PM

Flexing on all the startup Patagonia vests

raisinpie•10/18/23, 5:43 PM

I make coffee so Uniqlo tees, old pants, and comfy sneaks is my uniform

raisinpie•10/18/23, 5:44 PM

My Stan rays are looking kinda nice all beat up, the spier slim fit chinos not so much lol

Bbishopcorrigan No more grey cube please

jimi•10/18/23, 6:00 PM

hate when a project drags on forever

imbadatusernames•10/18/23, 6:06 PM

I’m basically a student advisor but I am also a student

Bigelow•10/18/23, 6:42 PM

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

Bigelow•10/18/23, 6:43 PM

When I do my ivy dress-up though, that's what I wear to conferences or meetings with academia people

Carney•10/18/23, 8:59 PM

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

Aaron 🍍•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

Uniqlo airism, 874, doc 1460 vegan

Aaron 🍍•10/18/23, 10:10 PM

Restaurants, bars and coffee shops

will•10/18/23, 10:45 PM

Everything I’ve worn in a waywt is probably something I’ve worn at work.

will•10/18/23, 10:46 PM

We’ve got a very loose dress code

jorgeragula05•10/19/23, 1:31 AM

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.

j9it45sgd7u•10/19/23, 1:57 AM

I play saxophone and teach music for a living, I wear dumb shit exclusively

Wwill We’ve got a very loose dress code

zacheadams•10/19/23, 2:42 AM

[2x] what I post here is what I wear to work

zacheadams•10/19/23, 2:43 AM

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

tun🌻•10/19/23, 7:55 AM

Basically this but I lose the baseball cap and switch the cons for steel toe caps when I get to work

Elvander•10/19/23, 10:15 AM

All my waywt, suits on my 1 day in the office but I wear mostly casual suits including my EG stuff.

Weeg•10/19/23, 1:13 PM

This what i wear to work

Weeg•10/19/23, 1:14 PM

Since i wear this most of my day and am a bit of a homebody i really try to get fitted on the weekends
