I'm a black t with some sort of geek/rock reference on it, dark blue jeans, white trainers sorta guy. Dark brown boots if the weather's especially bad. Coat's a black leather jacket as I'm big in every way lol. Most of the outfit isn't through choice but comfort or necessity. I'm sure I'm a sight to behold...

These days it's getting harder than ever to find clothes that I like because of my size (5'6" and although I'm not as elegantly wasted as I was 30 years ago I'm still fairly slim) so all of my wardrobe is either very cheap, very expensive or made to measure. Yesterday I was looking for new T-shirts and even "small" in mens sizes was in most instances too long and loose on me.

Formal - kilt

I used to dress in a modern style...

... but everyone looks like a twunt nowadays so I assume I would as well.

I love "jobs" where either the uniform is provided (as currently), or I wear my own casual stuff. I hate owning ties and shirts. Too expensive and too much effort to conform. Almost everything now is geared towards practicality (breathability, dryness, durability) and comfort. I only wear wool socks now and rarely a non-wool t shirt. Too many clothes are a distraction from who I am.

But everybody's different and I love when people have a noticeable "style" of their own. Prof is one such person whom I enjoy in that way!

Work: dressing gown and slippers.

Tough work deciding what to wear?

Now I work nights I can wear what the bloody hell I want to wear, that's not to say I'm scruffily dressed, but I could be if I so wanted to be.I disagree.
When I was working day shift we had a code to wear trousers and a shirt, but within that remit we could pretty much do what we wanted to.
As long as the shirt had a collar (most of mine didn't and that was also OK as they were clearly proper shirts and not t-shirts) and the trousers weren't either blue or black denim, we were left to our own devices.
It had nothing to do with caring about the job - most people here wouldn't actively show they cared by wearing smart clothes - it has more to do with how you want to present yourself to your co-workers, or how you want to look in general.

You don't have a client facing job, and dressing within rules shows that you don't want to get fire for a stupid reason.

I've worn what I want to work for as long as I can remember. That comes with the territory of having a job in media.

I don't wear skirts. I'm frequently under desks plugging in cables and don't want to flash anything lol.
