No, but I pretty much wear the same thing each shift.

In a way I don't mind uniforms, because you just have to think, or even give a shit about what you wear.

It can become so real shit if the company sucks.
Like being forced to wear an ear piece...that they say "It's part of your uniform"
Ya, don't put shit in my body, thank you.

Yeah, I'm really hoping its just standard shirt + pants kinda stuff and nothing stupid

Well, congratulations on the new Gig!

Yes, but even if they didn't require them I'd still be wearing coveralls while doing it.

It's not new, it's they finally decided on it after 10+ years lol

Nupe, which I love. You have to be vaguely presentable if you're in the office, but a band t-shirt and jeans is perfectly fine.

One of my jobs has me wear a polo shirt or fleece with their logo on it. The other job I spend most of my time at, I just need to be neat.

I'm already dreading it

I've always just worn a plain black shirt and messy jeans

Yes, I have to display my id badge.

Wait you've been there for 10 years and you're worried about this now?

Does a vest count?

Nah, there's a dress code and we have to wear our ID lanyards at all times though

My job is part of the United States' uniformed services

So, yeah.

They've decided to start using uniforms now, yeah. It was just no loose clothes, covered shoes

Hmmmmmm 40% counts maybe

I said yes but they actually got rid of it as a rule about 8 months ago. I just still wear it anyway.

Solid colored shirt and black scrub pants. The pants are comfy and useful with all the pockets, and it's nice being able to have clothes strictly for work and then my casual fun clothes.

When I started (28 years ago) I had to wear a suit but the dress code has eased since then with changes of management

We have uniforms but seriously the choices are like 10 different things. There are jeans, there are dockers, there are literally like 10 different styles and colors of shirts. Me? I'm the only one who uses the coveralls option. I wore them on my ship in the Navy for 5 years and I have wore them for the 25 years I have been at this job.

Soooooooooo comfortable and loose fitting. I love coveralls with just a t-shirt and boxers on underneath. They are so roomy and breathe easy.

A brown housekeeping shirt with black pants. I don't mind, I grabbed one a couple sizes too big so I'm comfy. It's a bit warm when I gave to wear it outside in the summer though.

I can wear whatever I want (as long as it's not vulgar or unsuitable for a semi-professional setting).

I can wear shorts and a hoodie to work if I want

We have something like a smock collard shirt with pockets. They don't enforce it but if I'm helping out a team on the floor, I use mine because of the pockets. Also it's easy to ruin a shirt with markers and stuff.

My job I wear what I want. Usually shorts,boots and t-shirt in summer.

Yeah.... this ain't gonna work. Everything is stretch and flex, even asked for a size up from what I usually wear, it's not gonna work for me

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3e89a4d1.jpg

does Protective Gear count as "uniform"?

Yes, and no. It's policy that we wear uniforms provided by our employer. However, they're too cheap to buy any, so... It's not really enforced. We are instructed to wear "business casual" clothes, which for men means a black button up shirt and black pants, for women it means wear whatever you want.

I work at a hospital, so I wear scrubs.

I'm gonna "forget" about the new dress code today and buy some bigger matching clothes

My scrubs are comfy enough

Sorry if this has been asked, but what do you do.

Everything in a house except foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing and drywall

Though sometimes I help the crew push the cement, sometimes I help them stand the walls up and I used to do the drywall too

My last job wanted us to come into the office with at least a polo/button-up. But no one enforced it so Id just wear t shirt and jeans. I was one of the basement engineering nerds, not like I was talking to the few customers that would stroll in to pay their bill by check or whatever so fuck it (we were an ISP)

New job is like 50% WFH / 50% client service calls so I only somewhat dress up for the latter. And even then unless its an eccentric client with a high profile I just wear my company branded jacket and jeans with a band shirt or some shit underneath

So your employer is pushing a uniform for home inspecting, but can't get an outfit that fits you?
That's some shit.

Nah, I gave them the sizes, and went one up but didn't realize the fit would be THAT different

It's like the painters pants from Sherwin Williams, I have to get 4-5 sizes up from my normal pants

Oh so that's no big deal.
Easily explained.

They should get you a new one.
But it's not a bad look or anything.

As long as they pay for it, I don't see an issue.

Yep, and they suck. I don't hate having to wear a uniform, it's just that the ones we have are garbage. Sizing is wildly inconsistent - I have 6 pairs of pants, all the same size as per the tags. 2 fit well, 2 are tight, 2 don't fit at all. We had a couple batches where the lettering on the shirts came off the first time they were washed. City employee, so obviously they were purchased from the lowest bidder.

It IS bad look when the pants makes your butt really visible

I'm a cheap bastard and I dont want to buy $40 pants I'm gonna ruin at work anyway

Edit: I'll get reimbursed most likely when I return the 3 pairs but I'll have to buy my own until then

You care about how your butt looks while doing home inspections. >_>

As someone who grew up kind of ashamed of the shape of his body compared to the other guys, yeah <_<

Not so much anymore but I'd still like better pants

I'm also not the inspector, just the all-around general construction

Oh, well it is better to feel comfortable in your own skin.
Maybe just remember you are at work and everyone around you just want to do their best and get the hell out.

The uniform of an idiot, yes.

i wear my own clothes

Nope. I dress business casual, but no one really cares and there's guys dressing in jeans and polo's and stuff like that.

Fuck no.

I work in a small print shop that isn't open to the public, so I can dress and be as homely as I want. I usually wear older shirts that are getting holes in them because anything I wear to work will eventually get ink stains on it.

Yeah. And when I got shopping in it, there's like a 20% chance I'll get people to come up to me and thank me for my service or call me a hero >_> Some Jamaican lady held my hand for 2 minutes and said a prayer for me while I just stood there in line and let her do it lol. I usually try not to shop in uniform before or after work cuz I feel weird about it sometimes >_>

No, but we do have jackets and caps with our logo so sometimes I wear those
