Khaki slacks with black shoes? Are you 12?

Black shirt and bright colored tie? Mother of god.


Gonna beg to differ.

Maybe it doesn't matter how they dress bc they are productive at work instead of posting on message boards during normal business hours.

You sound just like the miserable wenches in accounting at just about any office in America.

I bet you get really pissed off when someone uses your spot in the fridge too

Also, love the hilarious original thoughts calling the op gay for calling out slobs in the office


Nothing he posted indicated that these people dress like slobs. Just that he thinks they have poor fashion taste in spite of the fact that he doesn't care how other men dress.

The people calling OP gay don't work in an office or are the office slobs. This could actually help some of you self unaware dummies who want to be taken seriously but can't figure out why you aren't.

If you need clothes to help you get a promotion, you are already behind.

What you wear isn't going to help you, but it can certainly hurt you.

I've always tried to use the "Dress for the Job You Want" axiom.

It sounds like the job you want is runway model.

Brown looks better, FWIW. I'm guessing 99% of you who wear black shoes and khakis wear a cell phone holster.
