What do you wear to work? Uniform? All black clothes? Go naked?


I've just started working at Chemist Warehouse and it says I need black pants... does this mean tailored work pants, or would black jeans suffice?

black tailored pants and black shoes, then the shirt depends on my specific location that day.

OP: Black pants looks more professional, so I would think they'd say that. Depends on how casual they are with uniform.

My uniform is the clothing I sell in store :). But I'm naughty and wear other clothing too to keep the costs down.

I work in an office so I can get away with more than if I was working face to face customer service

that said, jeans, sneakers and the like are only allowed on casual Friday. So most of the time it's tailored pants or a skirt with a top of some kind and nice flats and jewelery.

on Fridays I just turn up in what I'd wear to uni (jeans, tshirt)

I used to wear business attire for the first week or two of my job in an office/warehouse.

Then I was told to dress like a uni student so I happily obliged.

When I worked at a chemist I wore all black. Black pants, a black blouse, black flats and a watch/bracelet.

I work at JB Hi Fi, so I am pretty much free to wear whatever I like! It's great and I love the freedom, because prior to this job I was a waitress and before that a manager in a fast food outlet... ugh, I hated all the rules around hospitality. Plus, you feel so gross after each shift. JB is sooo much better : )

Black pants and ugly ugly shirt (KFC)
Plus hat if I'm wearing the red shirt otherwise no hat and a collared, button up green shirt

I'd rather wear that then my normal clothes cos they get wrecked but I'd rather work somewhere else and wear nice clothes

You have to wear a branded jumper at your Coles? We just have to wear like a black knitted jumper/cardigan/jacket. I was actually specifically told not to get the Coles jumper as I could get cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

When i say coles jumpers, i mean like a jumper which is like fleecy...hard to describe, those jumpers that u wear at high school and every school seems to have them.
