    • Ideally something that says

      "I'm in paris for the weekend and nothing's going to stop me"

      TheSoundofBastards @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
  • um

    nothing ripped / dirty / with "outrageous" slogans.

    usually when something says that, i go for a proper shirt with maybe a jumper.

    guntrip | 22 Mar '07, 15:04 | X
    • and nice shoes

      liek, not trainers

      chuff @guntrip | 22 Mar '07, 15:05 | X

    • just don't wear a tie then

      IndieAndy_Jones @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
    • i don't think any jeans are acceptable

      You need smart/school trousers. You can get them from Primark for 6 quid.

      chuff @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
  • Shirt no tie

    smart trousers
    shoes but not trainers.

    TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:06 | X
    • define trainers

      canvas shoes ok?

      alcxxk @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
      • Yeah

        thewarn @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
    • So, basically,

      normal office gear minus a tie? Nice.

      thewarn @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
      • - tie + jeans

        keiths_tele @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
        • I think

          you may be able to get away with 'Chinos', (god that sounded so late 90s) shoe wise I think canvas would be ok, though NikeShoxxxxx would be out.

          TheSoundofBastards @keiths_tele | 22 Mar '07, 15:09 | X
      • or jacket

        and you probably don't have to work on "co-ordinating" so much.

        am i the only person who's never worked in a "smart" dress office?

        guntrip @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
    • does it have to be an office shirt?

      like, a single colour one?
      or can a gingham shirt work?

      alcxxk @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
      • That would be acceptable

        though Hawaiian shirts would be the kiss of death on any career. (Apart from maybe fat bassist in a ska-punk band, or Timmy Mallets PA)

        TheSoundofBastards @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:11 | X
  • Trousers

    Shirt w/ jumper over it

    ^my suggestion

    That shirt you have with the fancy bits on the upper chest will do fine I think.

    Failing all that: T-shirt that says 'FEDERAL BIKINI INSPECTOR'

    84joe | 22 Mar '07, 15:09 | X
    • i avoid wearing that

      its such a cunt to iron

      alcxxk @84joe | 22 Mar '07, 15:10 | X

            Brooner @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
            • you may notice from this thread

              that i TOTALLY have a job!!!!!!

              i'll do shirts £1 each tho

              alcxxk @Brooner | 22 Mar '07, 15:14 | X
              • you wont have a job

                when you turn up in jeans and a t-shirt. then you'll accept my paltry offer of 10p a shirt.

                Brooner @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
                • well done btw.

                  Brooner @Brooner | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
  • No jeans, basically

    Shirt and trousers and shoes. But with a casual smile on your face.

    bamos | 22 Mar '07, 15:10 | X
    • And sex.

            TheSoundofBastards @wishpig | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
          • It's different to your

            idea of casual, yes. But not the working world's idea.

            bamos @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
            • oh you fuck

              fucking looking down your fucking nose.

              is casualol racism advised?

              alcxxk @bamos | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
              • Yes

                Especially if you can get the words 'Damned Argies', 'Thieving gypsy cunts' and LOLocaust' in there.

                bamos @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:15 | X
          • In the case of work it

            means stuff like no tie, or no jacket, or not-so-neat-and-tidy-shirt or light coloured linen suit doesn't it?

            If a job asked me to dress smart casual I would probably wear tweedy trousers, and a v-neck jumper. Or a plain top with a necklace. Or a dress... or a skirt... hmm.

            fionapinkstars | 22 Mar '07, 15:15 | X
            • tweedy trousers?

              is that what you wear when youre beating up the foreigns in nightclub toilets?
