Would I get away with these trousers in your office?

[VoldemortsKitten]

Just that really, I have been living in comfy trousers in this heat, but also in this post Covid mashup of wfh/hybrid I'm a bit lost until autumn/winter proper when I tend to live in black tights and shift dresses for work. I work for a finance company in London if that makes a difference!

Same here.

It's a smallish company, mainly men. Most of the men are in company logo tops or casual. My boss only looks really smart for meetings.

In black they'd have been fine in the public sector place I used to work. Although the shoes kind of make the lm look a bit beachy

I work in financial services and they wouldn’t be a problem in head office

Yep fine at my office :) I work for a corporate bank in finance we can wear what we want.

I work in finance and these would be fine.

Yep, tech company.

Anything goes in my office so they would be fine (advertising).

My office is media/tech and plenty of people wear jeans and t-shirts.

But they wouldn't wear those trousers. Just no. That's beachwear. Finance, hell no.

My office is very casual (London civil service) and people wear jeans and hoodies, sundress and sandals etc but I would be surprised to see someone in those. Unless maybe from the comms department.

In my office yes but it's very very casual. Crocs and joggers are not an uncommon sight, and I wore some similar trousers with a cami when it hit 30° last week and no one batted an eyelid. I've seen the HR manager wearing very similar too with sandals. My boss was in board shorts on the hottest day. You get the idea.

I think it a typical office maybe not.

My office is huge about 1000 people, and about 15k total employees across our retail sites 😬 but still very casual

Fine at my work and I work in finance… it isn’t suits, shirts and ties anymore

I work in the legal department for the LA and these would be fine. We are no longer customer facing unless by appointment so very casual dress code.

Yes in my 'dress appropriately for what you're doing that day' office (in a bank).

*so long as they're not see-through. It looks a bit as though your pants may be visible at the back.

In my office (City, insurance) you’d be fine as long as you weren’t meeting external clients or attending a Board meeting and wearing them with the same sort of top as in your photo / a level smarter.

I have a couple of pairs very similar to this. They’re definitely not office attire. The last time I wore them was on holiday in Venice, I don’t wear them for every day wear.

No. They look so comfy, I really like them, but I don't think they're suitable for work.

No one would bat an eyelid. Financial services, not London, not client facing.

No!

No and my office is completely casual (jeans/ trainers) but they look shabby and more like something I may wear to do the gardening, wouldn't even run to the supermarket in them!

Yes. Nobody cares here:

I mean, I don’t think anyone would pull me up on it in my office but it’s a no from me too. They are firmly in loungewear/beach territory.

They’d be fine in my office (University). The only rules are no cycle shorts or bare feet.

No. They look like the worst elements of both pyjama bottoms and joggers. Sorry!

They look like lounging about trousers, so no.
