Your Clothes - Page 2

One advantage of being a software engineer is that I have an indoor job that doesn't require suit and tie.

Work: In winter it's a long sleeve colored or patterned dress shirt and jeans, sweatshirt or sweater as necessary. In summer it's polo and jeans. I could wear shorts, but they keep the air turned up.

Home: Pretty much the same except with shorts in the summer.

I can't answer the question honestly as the lines are blurred. If I'm going out I can dress to look and feel my best in clothes I hope will get me laid

Or at least suggest to an intelligent and witty man that I'd be worth talking to - the rest is down to personality.

Also depends on (fluctuating) weight as to what parts of me need to be casually draped and which parts can bear closer scrutiny!

My favourite clothing would probably be a wrap over dress - kind on the stomach, shows curves and calves and reveals a wicked cleavage. But you'd be more likely to find me in whatever was clean on a given day!

Actually we should have a UK Dwellars meet. Perhaps in London as it's the easiest to get to, even if it's not the closest point. Get drunk at the Founder's Arms near The Globe and miss the last train home (not part of the plan, but happens often enough to deserve a place on the agenda)

Ah, an honest answer for many, methinks.

It does say "most of all".

I'm wearing my glasses, and thats all.

skysidhe · 09-21-2006, 11:06 AM

My favorites. Dark jeans, bohemian tops, warm sweaters, boots or leather shoes, comfy jackets, scarfs.

summer: shorts and tanks , flip flops

Iggy · 09-21-2006, 11:32 AM

At work I wear the corporate shirts (which are actually quite nice, I hate polos and they have lots of styles that aren't polo) and black slacks, khakis, or a long skirt. I always wear some kind of heels (right now they are high heeled boots) because I am sensitive about my height (I am only 5' tall). When I am at home I wear whatever I want, from exercise pants and an oversized t-shirt, or jeans and a cute tee shirt, or a skirt and nice blouse. It pretty much depends on my mood. Usually I will wear the jeans or exercise pants since I have to wear slacks all the time at work.

In the summer I will wear shorts and a tank top and in the cold winter months I will wear a tank top, t-shirt, and sweater all at the same time. And I always have a blanket in my car so that if I get cold at a friend's house I can bundle up.

footfootfoot is looking fetching and debonair in his new carharts bib overalls and McCallan whiskey t-shirt. Muck chore shoes complete the ensemble giving a comfortable, yet manly look.

ashke · 09-21-2006, 11:30 PM

Mostly t-shirts and pants/jeans. The occassional skirt. But always with a jacket, whether worn or thrown over my back =)

wolf · 09-22-2006, 09:57 AM

None of the above.

I dress for the situation or to be comfortable, rather than necessarily to look my "best," kind of like Columbo's raincoat, you know?

I work in a setting where dressing my "best" means replacing expensive clothing regularly.
