No, despite what you're thinking, I ain't looking for answers like 'garter belts', 'fishnet stockings', 'leather bra', or 'spiked underwear', or even 'nothing at all'. I mean, what are you wearing mostly everyday?

Mine:

office hours: nothing more than formal pants and short-sleeve shirt. No tie, no suit. Damn it, Indonesia is a tropical country anyway, although my combination are mostly dark on top and light-colored on the bottom (such as dark blue shirt and ivory trousers). However, I wear hawaiian shirt sometimes; my boss allows it, and the clients don't complaint either.

outside office hours: khaki, multipocketed pants or shorts; khaki shirt or tank top/sleveless t-shirt; and outdoor shoes. I hate jeans, and prefer khakis all the time.

evening: black and white most of the time.

reception: now those are times when I have to wear suit, but I still prefer turtle neck instead of tie.

Jeans and t-shirt, without exception. In winter I toss a hoodie on top.

Jeans and t-shirts. For formal stuff, dark jeans and button-down shirt. My tech-sector affiliation lets me get away with it.

I'm a student, which means I could get away with anything if I was brave enough. I'm not, so I just wear jeans, a shirt of some kind, a jacket (it's winter now), and runners.

Yup, whenever I have to wear suit, I prefer button down shirt and silver chains instead of tie. You know, the street pimp style! :razz:

(although turtleneck is still my primary choice).

Tech? I still remember you said your advertising company's got something to do with a hosted server. So it is getting more internet-oriented these days? Internet advertising?

Nevertheless, the hi-tech sector usually has more loose dress code; I ain't the only one DBA who wears earring(s). :cool:

I love khaki pants, but the multipocketed, outdoor model. There's a local brand in Indonesia called 'Alpina'; they make professional-grade outdoor pants instead of those pseudos offered by Watchout!

Rugby tops and trousers in winter.. Shortsleeve shirts and light trousers in the summer. These have to be extra large, so that I dont appear to be as fat as as I look. :sad:

Work: Depending on the weather & what sort of mood I'm in, either a suit (very useful for intimidating people) or formal-ish pants/skirt & some sort of top ranging from collared shirts to knitted singlets. For some reason, most of my work clothes seem to be black or grey, occasionally enlivened by such items as an apple-green knitted vest or bright red socks. Black, low-heeled shoes because they're comfortable and I'm here to work, not for a fucking fashion parade and I've got enough to worry about without being in constant danger of breaking my neck.

Weekends/ after work: Jeans or similar, almost always hipster flares (It's not that I intentionally set out to by flares, it just seems to happen), usually with a singlet or T-shirt. Olive-green fatigue-style jacket it it's cold. Sneakers (white & green Dunlop Volleys), boots (tan RM Williams dress boots) or sandals (black flip-flops). If it's really cold, I might add a jumper and/or black leather jacket. Have occasionally been known to wear a skirt in summer.

Exercise: Mens' rugby shorts, 3/4 length pants or jeans depending on the temperature. Singlet. Zip-up track top if it's cold. Bright red joggers. Norman (Norman is my iPod. Thank you for not asking why I call my iPod "Norman").

Evening: Depends very much on the occasion. However there are few places in Brisbane where you can't get away with a nice pair of jeans (Levi hipster flares), a nice top and heels (boots or sandals).

Formal: Cocktail dress or occasionally a full-length ball gown.

Edit: To avoid the sort of confusion I've noticed on other boards amongst Americans: singlet = tank top.

I have developed a strange fascination with wearing vests. I suppose that's something unique over the typical 'jeans & t-shirt' motif.

#22 Why Not?

Work: Almost exclusively jeans. Depending how I feel, either a nice shirt or a T shirt. Tennis Shoes.

Workout: Workout pants, sports bra, tank top

Evening: PJ pants and a sports bra or nighttime tank top, or cotton nighty.

Weekend casual: Jeans or skirt, more daring shirt -either feminine or "kick your ass" depending on my mood.

Weekend "date": Comfortable dress, something feminine

Interview: Business suit, usually pants.

Club wear: Almost exclusively gothic or industrial wear. Boots or baby jane shoes. What can I say? ~smirks~ I am a weekend gother.
