Dress code for day 1?

[eek]

When I worked at the Met Office there was the usual mix of smart business wear, and hippy academics with shorts, socks and sandals

I keep my holey socks especially for those locations.

I thought 3 piece suits went out of fashion in the 50's

Unless they've come back in fashion with the "mad men" effect

Style never goes out of fashion. On Mad Men it's mostly 2-pieces anyway. I've been wearing 3-pieces since my first suit, besides a brief dalliance with a double-breasted, never to be repeated.



That and a waistcoat hides my gut

No idea, I think it looks smart. I even have a double breasted one which I like. Although I have never seen anyone else wearing one apart from when I watch Murdoch Mysteries.

Just dug out an email exchange with a senior manager at Yahoo! in 2007.

Me: "Should I start ransacking the flat trying to find the suit I haven't seen in two years, or is that unnecessary?"

Yahoo: "Definitely don't bother looking for that suit. We won't be wearing one and it might make you look a bit out of place "

Suited and booted for the interview. Check out what other people are wearing in the building while walking around and dress like them on the first day (today its fart stained pale brown trousers with grey desert boots with lime green soles and an old rockabilly style shirt)

I have also been known to wear a dress to work in protest at women wearing trousers. If the girlies this year wear as much revealing clothes as last year then some people are going to be in for a shock.

*nods* No one else has any sense of style.

Black jeans for me (to at least pretend to make an effort) along with whatever top suits the weather forecast/aircon setup, rarely a shirt though, don't like 'em.

Day 1 is always full suit. From then on, I'll wear what I fckin fancy.
