I wear polos, jeans and sometimes even t shirts to my work and I haven't had a haircut in years. I shave about once every week or two. I don't miss suits and definitely don't miss the corporate choke chain that is the neck tie......but from my experience, workplaces which have asked me to suit up in the past have also requested a professional standard of dress from women.

If OP wanted to dress like the women in his workplace he probably could....especially if he's armed up with a good discrimination lawyer ;)

Interesting note: When women do wear suits of any kind, many people complain corporate roles are stripping women of their femininity. Some will always find a complaint when it comes to sharing the workplace with women.

It's the 21st century. Women work. Let's accept it. I personally don't give a crap what anyone wears to work. If I made the rules we'd all be allowed to work in our undies if we so desired .....or more modest people could wear hessian sacks. I really couldn't give a fuq.

Women do that to themselves.
I’ve never heard a bloke ask another bloke “did she wear that skirt last week ?”
Might show how clueless we are!

On work clothing. My wifey works in hospitality, so wears out a pair of black sneakers probably every 4-6 months. Due to acids, etc used on floors they have to be durable soled shoes. So about $70-120 a pop for a pair of shoes. Likewise she HAS to drive as there is no public transport easily, and thus has to pay for a $200 parking pass every month.

None of that she can claim back on work (which is ridiculous).

...

I always used to work style cargo pants (King Gee sort of ones) and a collared shirt to work. Sometimes I dressed up a little with trousers and a sleeved business shirt. Maybe wore a suit 2-3 times.

Funny thing is when doing an interview a suit is always expected, even if you'll never wear it again during work.

Hey, I change my undies at least... every second day.
One of the funniest lines I've heard in a cartoon. The Angry Beavers. Norbert pulls out his underwear that say "Wednesday" on them and he says, "My God, it's Wednesday", then Daggett says, "Mine say October"

I have day of the week undies but I never wear them properly. Pretty sure I'm wearing my Friday undies today. It's always the dawn of a new weekend.....somewhere.

Its because they also get a shoe allowance.

They also get laundry allowance

Lol.
You start scrambling ? Hair? Makeup? Dress? You’ve lost weight?
“Why? Do I need to lose weight”
“Fuck”

Best answer... "I see the same natural beauty I noticed from when I first met you illuminating through what you're wearing my dear, so no, I don't see or notice anything different from that beautiful young woman I met from the very first time I saw you!"

I went with, "Has your arse gotten bigger?"

Probably not the best response.

These days it would be. Women are working on making their arses bigger.
Yep. It amazes me. 5 years ago it was an insult, now it's a complement.

"Your arse has gotten bigger"

"Thank you"
