What do you wear to work?

The company I worked for before starting university have a casual/smart casual dress code; shorts, jeans, hoodies, and t-shirts. that sort of thing. which was good as that summer we were hit by a heatwave and the office had no air con. but when I went for the interview I did feel awkward as I was wearing a suit.
I was just wanted to ask the DEV community about there experiences with different companies dress codes.

For those of us in the UK working in environments where safety is paramount, finding the right workwear trousers is crucial. I've been using the Unbreakable U242 Black 4-Way Stretch Multi-Pocket Holster Work Trousers from Briggs Safety Wear
, and they've been a game-changer.

These trousers are incredibly durable and flexible, made from a 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you. The multiple pockets are perfect for carrying tools and essentials, and the reinforced areas add extra protection where it's needed most.

If you're looking for comfortable and functional work trousers, I highly recommend giving these a try.

Dress codes can vary a lot depending on the company and industry. It's interesting how some companies embrace a casual or smart casual style while others have a more formal dress code, like suits. It can definitely feel a bit awkward when you're dressed differently for an interview than what you'll be wearing on a daily basis.
In my current job, we have to wear suits every day. If you're looking for some options, I came across a website called Gentleman's Guru that sells wedding tuxedos, and they have a range of choices. Here's the link to their website:Β gentlemansguru.com/product-categor.... Just scroll down a bit to find something suitable for work.

As Muslims, one of our traditions is to wear a modal hijab. There are many benefits to wearing a modal hijab, and many Muslim women find it the most comfortable material for their head covering. Not only is it soft and breathable, but it is also easy to tie.

As a Muslim, I love to wear an abaya. In Islamic culture, the abaya dress is regarded as one of the essential pieces of women's apparel. It is a lovely, beautiful Islamic outfit with the original essence of upholding Islam's dignity. Abaya is a loose-fitting robe worn over the body to conceal all the body except the face, hands, and feet. Women must wear this Islamic clothing when they leave their houses.

We don't have a dress code at my company, but we have to dress up when we have a meeting. I usually wear jeans, a hoodie or jacket, and converse or airforces. I just have one suit, haha. I bought it just for meetings at gentlemansguru.com/product-categor.... Otherwise, I prefer to dress casually. I feel much more comfortable this way. On the other hand, my coworkers prefer to dress up every day because it is their fashion sense. In any case, the most important thing is not to show up naked, haha.
