What Do You Wear To Work In Your City? (live, gym)

[normie]

When we moved to Virginia, I expected it to be the sort of place people wear a suit and tie to work every day. Of course, some offices are like that--but I was surprised to see things were much more relaxed than I expected.

I drop off work for clients all over the area, and the "Virginia Work Look" seems to be slacks and dressy shirt for the women. The mean wear slacks and polo shirts in the summer (sweaters in the winter). Shoes don't seem to be a big deal here, most of the women just wear comfortable flats (and often, tennis shoes).

In my office, we are very casual (but I think we're unusual). We work with artwork and printing, so we need comfy clothes. And at the end of the day we have a company volleyball game (or in the winter we all go to the gym down the street), so we wear things we can easily put in a gym locker.

What's it like where you live?

Suits aren't required in my work environment either, unless you're meeting with a client. On a normal day in the office, men wear a shirt, tie, and slacks, and women wear slacks and a business-style top. Many men and women throw a sweater on top this time of year. Down on Wall Street it's a different story. Dress code depends on the type of business you're in of course. My roommate works in the entertainment industry and wears H&M/Uniqlo casuals. haha.
