8. "What were you wearing before?" In response to Reply # 0
I can't really picture *not* wearing shirt, tie, slacks, leather shoes, vests, etc. to work. Higher-ups call me "sir" when I'm well dressed.
Not gonna front, some dudes here rock jeans, sneakers, t-shirts, etc. (yesterday, a dude had on baggy denim shorts), and I look down on them a bit. Like, you gotta rep the block no matter what, huh?

I work in desert hell and in a prison etc.. sometimes it's just casual because what I just said working in hell heat in a prison… But it's tied up and whatnot… I never knew the effect would be like this

They say I couldn't find anything to wear so I had to pull out one of these fancy things in a rush… So I did that ha ha… And was told by the head honcho who is a female that I should start wearing that every day like that… So I have… And the results have been… Let's say…

That shit doesn't look comfortable to me.
Ties feel like they choking my creativity
I def see the difference when I get fly. I had an interview and went to the bar in a suit and they went crazy.. lol.

36. "heat plays a role, but" In response to Reply # 25
its mostly comfort. I'll do a tie every now and then, not as much in the summer.
my job also doesn't require this so I'm def being extra, relative to the other folks here if I have on a shirt & tie. we got folks in jogging suits. and not the fly ones.
22. "man listen lol" In response to Reply # 18 Fri Aug-25-17 11:50 AM by rdhull
That shit is funny if I wasn't doing it every day I would do something like that I want to week thing is a joke with somebody else… But let me tell you something… My immediate supervisor told me oh it was optional I didn't have to dress like that… He's a short dude fwhos Persian and sounds like literally tattoo from fantasy Island… He wears a button-down and a tie every day but oh well… Everyone is telling me when he said that that I gave him competition (there is no competition as he's tre wack) lol.. he mad lol
>at a different job as a joke and kept it going. > >The office I work in now is pretty casual so when I have a tie >they either ask me if I have an interview or am I trying to >show them up lol
27. "Dude, when I was in health club management, our owner had the idea" In response to Reply # 0
for the mgmt staff to wear shirts and ties. We (the managers) thought it was dumb because we still help people occasionally with their workouts and equipment and are somewhat active. That job was already like shooting fish in a barrel when it came to getting women, but once we started dressing like that, the fish started jumping out of the barrel. Weirdest thing I've ever experienced.

but I feel you.
Nothing better than being fly as shit and getting looks that confirm it.

43. "it's a uniform to me." In response to Reply # 34
i wear suits everyday.
i went on a few cruises w/the family in the last 5 years and for each one i didn't pack a suit at all b/c i was on VACATION and i didn't want to wear that shit. but then it turns out on each cruise there was a 'formal' night where ppl got dressed up (men in suits) for dinner and shit and i was there all under-dressed. it was kinda awkward when the fam wanted to take pix while all dolled-up. b/c i was in business casual wear, basically. b/c i was on VACATION. and a suit ain't shit to me. lol
i'm wearing one right now and i'm counting the minutes until i can take this thing off.
