style in the office

AmissU

hi I'm a c/c++/mfc developer in Korea. I wonder if the women's style is also casual in other country? Other type of occupation women have very good style. like skirt, shirt...cosmetic, jewels.... But... I'm not interested in fashion, style... so... is it similar other woman developer? Thank you for reading my text with patience.

The last women I have seen here had very good style. But hell, this was in 2003.

Women that have worked with me were not ultra-fashion-victims, they did not spent time getting really nice dressed to go to work. Which, of course has nothing to do to what they made when going out to dinner or so... In our case though, possibly the problem was that we manufacture machines and therefore, it is not a brilliant idea to come really well dressed when you have to put yourself under a machine chassis to see some special behaviour of a machine during the setting up... So my experience (being a macho-man that has worked with a couple of female-women :rolleyes: (I like to say something stupid like that as my name can be easily misunderstood in English speaking ocuntries)) is that they didn't were worried about fashion a lot. PS: If any of those ladies is reading that, please forget me, as you know I'm under lot's of stress and most of the time I don't know what I do say... :rolleyes:

I always thought a female developer was a myth, never having actually seen one, so either I can’t comment or can confirm that the dress code is urban camouflage (and damn effective one at that)

I am too mostly c++/MFC developer(sometimes i am dealing with c# projects) I don't care about fashion i wear jeans and just a normal t-shirt. The only thing that i care about is my clothes to be comfortable nothing else.

I've worked maybe half a dozen, and just like women in most professions their attire varies: some in jeans, some in a dress. The mechanic that changed the CV joint on my car last was female, and some some strange reason she always has expensively painted finger nails - and a boiler suit. I can understand the latter... :laugh:

Met one (I think) once, 'scary' doesn't do justice :wtf: Not wearing urban cammo, though jungle cammo (was a military project I was on)

Trouble is that on the internet you have no idea what gender anyone actually is: what they say they are may not even remotely resemble the physical reality. So while I know there are some female developers here, I have no idea how many - and how many are hiding behind a male name to avoid attention! :laugh:

if you paint the finger nails you cant see the oil and grease under them?

It really comes down to the workplace culture, what level you are at, and of course a person’s preference for what they wear. Where I work it is acceptable to be more or less casual, for those of us who interface with customers, you had better look professional. This also goes for the managers. My company has a fairly relaxed atmosphere and there are some developers who still dress business all the time, it’s what they like to wear, most of us, and that includes both men and women, wear pretty much what makes us comfortable, mostly jeans and business casual tops. Our company does draw the line at jeans with holes in them and t-shirts with inappropriate messages.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

I see what you tried there: we do not believe you.

Jeans and a t-shirt (or a blouse if I'm feeling posh) ... :) I'm not really into fashion but I do have a weakness for boots. Normally Dr. Martens :-O ! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dr.+martens&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mmrmUo69OMWN7AaR-4HQDQ&sqi=2&ved=0CGoQsAQ&biw=1264&bih=812[^]

:laugh: No, no, no... Please no, they were almost married, me too... No possibilities nor will to try it... Buuuuut, when going out to dinner with all the company people (twice per year) that was easily visible... They went there in a nicer look than the typical one. Let's see, I hope I've escaped this big garden where I've step into... :rolleyes:
