office wear

[Flute56]

I work in an office and the majority of the peole wear casual and by that I mean jeans and t shirts and trainers. I always dress smart for work. Some who have tatoos wear short sleeves and show huge tattoos down each arm. I do not think that is appropriate for the office. I really wish i worked for a company who has a strict dress code wehre the women have to wear smart trousers and jackets and dresses and skirts and the men have to wear shirts and trousers and maybe a suit. I could not go to work looking sloppy even if there is no dress code

@Flute56

It's tattoos!!!!!!!

I think a blazer makes an outfit smart so even leggings and flats if you team them with a blazer you will look smart

Leggings and flats with a blazer?!!

No you won't. You'll look fine, but you won't look SMART

bit rich to moan about people not looking smart enough then go on to say you think leggings, flats, jumper and a blazer is smart 😬

Sorry but leggings a jumper and a blazer is not in any way shape or form smart.

Ita a bizarre combination that would look frumpy and wrong

Someone please call the fashion police 👮‍♀️

So it’s OK for you to dress down in areas that are uncomfortable for you, but if anyone else does the same for areas uncomfortably for them, they are sloppy. Is that right?

Nothing makes leggings look smart. They are basically thick tights with no skirt over the top.

Out of pure curiosity, how have you came to this conclusion?:

whose style of writing suggests to me that they may have some additional needs.

Or choose not to work with you?

Actually it is offensive and judgemental, the constant reference to tattoos shows that she thinks there is something wrong with them.

She keeps mentioning tattoos or tatoos as she said, in a derogatory manner, that's offensive!

So OP can tell me my tattoos are shit but I can't tell her that her outfit of leggings, flats and a blazer sound horrific? Err no. Her outfit sounds horrific. She doesn't sound like she has additional needs at all, she just sounds like an out of touch, conservative of thought whingebag.

Leggings are not smart.

I also think blazers can look dated.

I work in the City and since coming back to the office it is a lot more casual.

Dont think I have wore smart work shoes for years. Sometimes I wear jeans, sometimes work trousers, sometimes a dress, depends on my mood

Thank goodness that the days of managers thinking that casual dress means casual attitude is over

I went somewhere and wore leggings with flat shoes, a shirt and a sleeveless v neck sweater over the top of the shirt. Someone looked at me and said your outfit is lovely you look very nice!

I have also been somewhere and worn a formal tailored dress with long sleeves and tights and heels and i teamed it with a string of pearls and someone said I loe your outfit

Congratulations. You like your clothing choices. Now leave everyone else alone.

Moral of the story OP is that everyone has their own style and opinion of what they like and what they think is comfortable and also that you shouldn’t be judging people by what they look like or choose to wear but how they are as a person.

I also own a black velvet dress which I wore to a funeral recently again, with pearls

@Flute56 are you just talking to yourself now? Taking on board anything other posters have said?

Last funeral I went to I wore a bright red dress. I'm sure my friend was looking down and smiling as she would have loved it.

Nice is not synonymous with smart.

Yep. My friend wanted everyone wearing green at her funeral and it was fabulous to see such bright vibrant colours rather than black.

Then become Jewish and move to work in a school or the government (although the Prime Minister doesn't always wear a tie... female PMs don't. Just to be picky)

And yes you do see teachers with tattoos. So long as they aren't offensive or inappropriate

TatToos BTW. Three Ts
