I'd prefer to.
It's not always practical and some firms I've worked for have had dress down Fridays. If I'm commuting weekly on the train or plane, dress down days are a nuisance ... it's just an extra outfit to shlep.Last edited by Aman; 2 November 2010, 22:03.Comment

A lumberjack shirt, a short sleeved shirt, a poncy shirt with flap button down breast pockets these are all not real shirts.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostWTF is a real shirt?

A real shirt is a decent shirt with cuffs and a collar that can be worn with a tie and a suit.
any
shirts that have sticky up collars to be worn with a bow-tie should only be worn at a proper black or white tie function and not at chav weddings

They often are told what to wear; 50% navy polyester / 50% tattie sack 'corporate-identity-wear'. Sorry, but what's the point in having a corporate identitiy like that when nearly every other trade firm that has corporate identity wear has the same navy polo shirt & combat trousers combo?Originally posted by kandr View PostReal contractors wear what they want, you work for your own company, would you tell a plumber what to wear?
Sod that, I'd wear something more tailored..Comment
