What do you wear at work??

[Newrean]

I know this is the last thing I should be worrying about - but I want to make sure I stay comfortable while still appearing professional... I'm at my most comfortable in a tee shirt and jeans... and I start to feel like a fish out of water in anything else...My dad who is a LMT wears a white polo shirt and light khakis (he does polarity work)... but I'm shying away from the whole khaki-cellulite-highlighting-pants.LOL God I can't believe I'm asking such a question!!Brookep.s. and this is my very first post!!

In this era of stretch jeans that come in every color you can think of, I see nothing wrong with wearing jeans and t-shirt to work. You could even have your t-shirts embroidered with your business name.I'm a bit idiosynchratic myself. I wear whatever I feel like wearing at the moment. I figure as long as it's comfortable, clean and decent, it shouldn't matter.-Melody

At the office we wear scrubs, but when I do work outside of the office I have a couple of different outfits for different clients.For my elderly or more conservative clients, I wear khaki capris, a white tank top shell, and a  colorful somewhat fitted button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up - with two of the buttons buttoned so the shirt doesn't drag on my clients.  I rotate between different variations of that style.  Sometimes I'll wear a polo shirt.  It's stylish, yet conservative.For my more laid-back clients, I'll do running or yoga pants and a slim fitting T-shirt or polo shirt.I always massage barefoot or in socks, so I wear shoes that I can slip on and off easily.Old Navy has stretchy slacks in regular length and capri length.  I broke my jeans and t-shirt habit by expirimenting there.  It gave me new options without taking me out of my comfort zone.Katykangaroo

I think what you wear all depends on where you work.  When I worked out of a ladies gym, I wore yoga pants or workout clothes.  Now that I'm in a salon, I wear stretchy jeans (nothing faded, torn or too tight) and a short-sleeved shirt (sometimes t-shirts, but nothing sloppy looking).  Soon I'll also be working for another therapist, and her only request was no blue jeans - but black is fine.Personally I don't think my clients give a fig about what I'm wearing, as long as it's not inappropriate.

i wear solid color short sleeve tees and cotton pants (variety of colors). and white tennis shoes that i only wear in the office.  i got them at old navy when they sell tees 2 for whatever price and find comfortable pants on sale.  i just created a logo for myself and made up letterheads, i really like it and was thinking of taking it in somewhere to make a embroidered logo to have put on my tees.

I wear black yoga pants and a light blue short sleeve shirt with a MT logo.  In the winter I wear sneakers and in the warmer months I wear my Dansko sandals (7 years old and I love them ;D).     When I worked at a spa we wore khaki's and white shirts with sneakers.When I worked for a school we could wear anything (within reason) but, no short shorts and "skimpy" tank tops.

Business casual: pressed slacks with a blouse usually. I like New York & Company's cotton flex slacks - they wear like loose yoga pants but look professional. My office is a more medically-inclined location (think doctor's office with a very feng shui/zen approach, lol!). Occassionally I wear yoga pants and a cotton blouse or a nice long (below knees) skirt. In the winter it's cardigans and flats, summer it's cap-sleeves and sandals.I come from an administrative background and wouldn't dream of wearing denim pants to work at $14 an hour so why would I wear them at $65 an hour??? But that's just my take on things. I believe the professional level of my clothing speaks volumes to my potential clients who are looking for a little "extra" with their reflexology, something I don't offer. It gives an air of professionalism and although I am relaxed at least I appear business-like to a degree. Sorry for the long-winded post.

What do you wear at work??

I generally wear kahki's and a polo shirt ( I prefer a white shirt ). If I'm doing an outdoor event I generally wear a polo shirt and kahki shorts. I try to keep it as professional but confortable as possible. You don't want to come accross like you just got out of bed or about to go to bed. Image does make a difference. But I also beleive in being confortable too.

yes I agree image is improtantbut you also have to consider who you are working for in my case its mostly police, stars of some sort, or athletes,and none of them care as much about what I am waring as they do the work I do on themwhen I worked at a health club I had a dress codebut not any more   yyyyeeeeaaa
