I hate wearing T-shirts but at present I don't have the cash to buy otherwise.

I'm currently in a 10 year-old T-shirt that is by no means my oldest.

Shirt & tie FTW!

Oh and while we're on the subject, why do men have to wear a tie in most offices but women can, seemingly, wear whatever they want? Why do I have to look smart but she can wear denim or leather?

:evil:

Dress appropriately. That's what I do and if it makes me a slob in other peoples eyes then so be it.

I don't think that statement is correct I haven't worked in an office since 1997 where a suite was required for men.

An occasional suit for senior management meetings but that's about it. ( thankfully )

I am lucky in that I wear jeans to work, sometimes with blouses (when we have external visitors) but mostly with t-shirts. Our dess policy is quite lax, but most of the Exec make an effort with smart trousers and shirts.

Since I live in jeans at work I don't see them as "comfy" slouchable clothes so I change into sweats and oversized t-shirt in the evening when I get home, most of the other people at work that I've polled (this afternoon) feel the same and have a variety of even sloppier clothing at home to wear on their off days.

I don't wear pj's so can't stay in them during the weekends ;)
