He would even wear cargo shorts in the lab, which I'm pretty sure is a health hazard! </p> <p>Compromise: I bought him some of those lightweight zip-off cargo trousers that convert into shorts. He wasn't supposed to actually wear them to work, but baby steps lol... hopefully your HR adopts a similar approach, to avoid the inevitable 'basketball shorts revolt' from the WFH loungewear crowd lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2205028 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 18:46:17 +0000 Anonymous 2205028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always thought dressing for the job you want is good advice. &nbsp;At least you will be thought of if the job opens up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2205022 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 18:41:15 +0000 Helena 2205022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome to be getting back to something more normal!

How funny about your HR manager--I can't imagine wearing that to work even in casual mode. Sometimes the handbook is more of a guideline. We haven't had a dress code in a long time but I think everyone currently working in the office demonstrates common sense about what is or isn't appropriate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm excited for you and looking forward to more WIWs :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204965 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 15:05:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2204965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou- there is a specific dresscode is our employee handbook, which was just resent to all staff by HR. It specifies jeans only on specified days (casual Friday maybe?) and no logo tees. Our HR manager wears basketball shorts, sneakers, a logo tee and a ball cap every day- so I don't know how serious to take that yet lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204959 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:31:32 +0000 cat2 2204959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it’s so great to hear everyone is heading back to normal programming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204958 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:26:45 +0000 Bijou 2204958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like it will suit you perfectly. Most HR departments can give you an outline of the acceptable garments, fabrication and hem lengths etc. which may be useful to have so you get a rough indication of how the dress code will change once you are back in the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204956 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:22:21 +0000 slim cat 2204956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It could be more challenging for some, or more fun - dressing in a more polished professional way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204953 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:14:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 2204953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like the perfect excuse to play in your wardrobe as from what I've seen the building blocks for business casual are all there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204951 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:14:22 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like the new dress code will be a breeze for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-dresscode#post-2204949 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:07:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2204949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My workplace is considered essential (homeless services), but since the pandemic things have changed a lot- including half time wfh for many of us, and cutting back to only essential programming and services. As of July 1st, we are back to our full program, including being on site fulltime. It also means, according to HR- being back to our business casual dresscode. I started this job during the pandemic, so I have only known the dress to be casual, and wasn't aware it was a relaxed dresscode they were operating under. I always feel like I am more dressed up than most of my coworkers, even though I still dress pretty casually. I hope people do start dressing up a bit more. I feel like it's just more professional, but also it will alllow me to dress up as much as I want to </p>
