I snagged a promotion at work right at the start of Covid so moved from a 5 day a week customer facing role (read: wear a business suit everyday) to a now 3 days a week work from home, 2 days work in the office where NOBODY wears a suit.
So I’ve got 14 suits sitting in my closet that rarely if ever get worn now. I do force myself to wear one everyone now and again out of guilt.
I’m still told I’m the most “dressed up person” in the office if I wear slacks/chinos and a sports coat and this is working for a huge multinational in the S&P 100 things have definitely changed in the office, it’s no longer casual Friday, it’s pretty much just casual everyday, I’ve even seen 2 guys wearing shorts to the office in summer…. That blew my mind tbh.
While I’m trying to resist the whole casual-ification of clothing it’s hard.
I’ve shifted from selvedge denim to Uniqlo ultra stretch jeans (these things are actually pretty good imo) and haven’t worn a pair of lace up boots in over 3 years which makes me sad they have been replaced by “dress” leather sneakers (although I know just writing that is blasphemy!).
