Reply to: Do you wear a suit to work

[Aman]

Real contractors wear what they want, you work for your own company, would you tell a plumber what to wear?

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?

Sod that, I'd wear something more tailored..

WTF is a real shirt?

for that matter WTF is a non-real shirt? is that like a long sleeve t-shirt with little buttons drawn on?

A lumberjack shirt, a short sleeved shirt, a poncy shirt with flap button down breast pockets these are all not real shirts.

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

HTH

button up shirt (possibly even a real shirt)

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.

A safari suit was never a good look Wod.

I'll have you know my crimpolene suit and bri-nylon shirt is the height of sartorial elegance!

Wodders, get a better suit mate. The daffy duck acrylic tie and worn in the seat trouser look isn't doing you justice fella.

A suit without the tie is just a bit too "Irish Navvy"/Rab C Nesbitt

Shirley dressing goes something like:
1) Dead casual - Trainers, Jeans, Tee shirts (or even more scruff order)
2) Casual - Shoes of some kind, non-Jeans keks, Polo or possibly non-smart shirt
3a) Business Casual (Scruff) - Proper shoes, Chinos, button up shirt
3b) Business Casual (non-scruff) - Proper shoes, proper trousers, button up shirt (possibly even a real shirt)
4) Almost formal - PShoes, PTrews, real shirt & tie
5) Formal - Suit, Shirt and tie (possibly remove jacket when not in meetings)
6) Stuffy - As above but Jacket on even at desk

If you are Margaret from across the road, I apologise most sincerely for your sudden shock last week when I opened the office blinds whilst stark naked.

Shock isn't always a bad thing my dear.

Pretty sure you sit opposite me.

Why are they soiled?

I'll leave that to the dear, delightful and late Clement Freud to explain.

For those of you that aren't permitted to wear undies in the office or are surrounded by those that still think they have a right not to be offended, then headphones may be required.

[cailin maith]

No suit any more. I jacked that in ages ago

I probably don't look too professional at all. Especially not today when I have my cardi on and a massive tissue soaking up (mostly) all the snotty sneezes due to the cold I seem to have developed

Poor me.

Presumably he shat into them
