style in the office

[Argonia]

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?

You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

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:

In my experience (US/Canada), the developer dress code has always been ultra-casual.  That being said, the women engineers I've worked with have never dressed as shabbily as their male counterparts - who sometimes wear clothes with holes in them. :) /ravi
