We used to have casual friday's and management bitched. Then they took it away and employees bitched. Now we can wear jeans everyday, they gave up

Suits suck...they're for Weddings and Funerals.

I don't trust people in suits....They're phoney...
I see someone in a suit they're usually trying to sell me something...insurance or god usually.

Suits are for the older generations...we don't need them anymore.

cool people only wear slacks when they reach the age of 67 and the roomy fit allows them to hide their colostomy bag easier.


i dress down everyday... i'd hate to wear slacks and suits to work... i truly would hate it

Indian Summer

scrubs everyday for me.....even when I'm off!

lalalalaaaaaaaa

Are you in sales??

i work in hotels, and suits are a must because you are around guests, and they want you to have the "professional look." i hated that shit. luckily, the hotel i am at now, promotes a more casual attire, so i can get away with shirt/no tie, and casual pants.

maybe not... but you seem to like them

No WAY could I be in a job where I had to look presentable on a daily basis... that's beyond EVERYONE... even supermodels have their days off I'm sure.

i never said you did make the rules.. i was saying wearing slacks is for octogenarians... the outfit you described earlier made me think of Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Nope.
It is called having some respect for your appearance.
It's not just America...try that shit in Italy. You would look homeless.

you're right... it's impossible to look your best everyday. but i don't know many companies that will fire you because you are having a bad hair day, or because your dress shirt isn't ironed to perfection.

if you like the job, you deal with the attire that they require you to wear. it's not the end of the world if they want you to wear a shirt and tie.

I've been to Italy a few times and never felt out of place. Sure quite a few of them are stunning... but they've just as many normal clothes as the rest of us... and I saw quite a FEW fashion disasters from people trying too hard :eek:

but it's still stupid... it's like your boss saying 'dance boy dance'. If you're in an office where no clients or customers see you, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
