what's the guy equivalent of barely-there tops and skintight pants? - b. Sep 14, 15:54
She has to wear suspenders and a fedora with a piece of paper sticking out of it that says PRESS -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 15:52
Mostly it's to look "professional" - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:52 12
- that has absolutely no meaning. professional can mean a million different things from profession to profession -- nm - bugsy Sep 14, 15:53 9
  - if she's the stripper at my bachelor party I'd be very happy to see her walking through the door wearing that -- nm - dogbert Sep 14, 15:59 1
    - And if she was a stripper that would probably be professional wear. -- nm - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 16:01
  - Yup, and when you're a professional attention-getter, anything goes. -- nm - mara Sep 14, 15:57
  - Actually, for office jobs there is a basic standard. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:57 5
    - i guarantee you what is "office professional' on the west coast is 180 degrees from the same thing on the east coast - bugsy Sep 14, 15:58 4
      - I don't think it's necessarily coastal as much as by field or even company or division. - b. Sep 14, 16:04
      - at my office, jeans and a t-shirt aren't uncommon. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 16:01 1
        
        (We do have rules, though: No crocs, no peeing in the shower, no swim trunks, no going barefoot) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 16:01
      - There is still a basic level that's expected. After that it changes from office to office. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 16:00
- I think the dude equivalent would be dressing like a slob. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 15:53 1
  - Guys tend to get more leeway than women in this. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:57
