Right so trousers are fine, not quite buying that but they are on average further away from the face I suppose, t-shirts for a couple of days is OK. So what's so toxic about a shirt? Fair enough if you manage a warehouse or similar, you're gonna get filthy very quickly. But sat on your ass in an office, I don't get it.
Are you by any chance... bankers?
[quote=emsz ]Even if the shirt didn't smell, I'd be like "didn't you have that shirt on yesterday?" What else haven't you bothered to change stinky boy
You've never seen Jeff Goldblum in The Fly? The bit where he opens his wardrobe?
RE shirts - if worn only around an office, or perhaps for an evening out etc then I will hang it up for a few days and wear it again. I use Crystal Deodorant, don't eat fast food and wash hard. My miss'stripes will tell me if I niff. She does, but it's pretty rare 😉

who notices what shirt anyone is wearing? seriously?

LOL, now we're into new territory, this one could continue to run.
You're the guy who goes to Tesco and buys a 3 pack of the same pale blue shirt for work aren't you?
Don't some of you feel guilty about the damage caused to the environment by your OCD tendencies? 😉

Tesco? how very dare you.
Someone has to hoover up the 4 for £90 sales from Lewins you know! From the comfort of my chair, in my day old shirt, without working even the slightest hint of a notion of mild sweat.

Good work.
FWIW, you sweat less in short sleeved shirts.
Errrrr of course I'd notice if you had the same shirt on. It's obvious
Big white thing in the kitchen, round bit of glass in the middle? That
You also look like a 5 year old kid. PLEASE tell me you don't wear short sleeve shirts?FWIW, you sweat less in short sleeved shirts.

FWIW you also preclude yourself from every having sex with an attractive woman
You guys are weirding me out.....
Srsly - the make/break of your attractiveness is a shirt? Oh, my sides!

Your attractiveness is the product of numerous things, one of which being how you dress.

Ah, this is why I have long sleeves shirts, roll the cuffs up to the elbow. Manly shirt, no bloody cuffs flapping about the place which I HATE HATE HATE, nice and cool.

at work? Work is work, trust me my day old shirts are not doing anything to disuade the inappropriate comments from the middle aged ladies. If I thought they might I'd be pushing 5 day old shirts...
I've not washed my Hiut jeans yet. 😕

Why bother wearing shirts are all if you don't care about how you dress?

Oh well miss'stripes is clearly interested in my other features. Or perhaps she's just high on my socks!

Oh trust me if I had a choice I wouldn't.
Actually that's not true, I do love a nice [short sleeve] linen shirt on a hot summers day. lovely fabric linen, love the way if feels on my flesh... day after day after day after day... 😀
Surely most men have sex without a shirt on . . But luckily for the male population one of the most endearing things about a man is the ability to make a woman laugh, a short sleeved shirt may raise a smirk so you're half way there 😉

LOL - that's like reading the Velominati Rules

So it's just a way of ticking an employer requirement with the bare minimum required?
So, barely meeting dress code, not bothering to wash work clothes. STW you surprise me.
Male Airline hosts/ whatever wear short sleeves shirts don't they

Oh shi....

There is no clothing in the world that can compensate for my face.
I wear short sleeved shirts at times in environments where you are expected/required to wear a shirt. Occasionally out of spite to those that hate them. I'm old enough, and definitely ugly enough to no longer care about my image. It's very liberating tbh.
...rt ?
yeah - it's a short sleeved shi.....
...rt.
OKOKOK It's a Polo shirt - does that mean I might get some then, or not?
It's a bit sad how much some people seem to care about what other people wear. Product of being a dull office drone I suppose. 😉
I've been wearing shorts and a t-shirt (not always the same one 🙂 ) in to work for weeks now.
Cycle in, cool down, shower,
Fresh Shirt, keks and socks every day.
Smart Jeans go 4 days at work
Cycle home again, shower, fresh Keks
Jeans / shorts will go a couple of days (Depending on what that time entails) normally everything else gets worn for a day and then washed
Would never wear the same shirt 2 days in a row
OKOKOK It's a Polo shirt - does that mean I might get some then, or not?
Dress down friday or self employed?
I think if it's your own business then you're OK, but if it's polo shirt and chinos on a friday then you're ****ed 🙂

Nothing in the world has any aesthetic value? 😉
What about flip-flops? I love wearing flip-flops in the office.
Hmmmm....
STW, home of the £10k wris****ch and the 3 day shirt 😆

Oooh with your cunning word play, you'd think I didn't bother to wash my work clothes, apart from I do, just not obsessivley.
All Appraisals in last 3 years, "Unklehomer presents himself smartly in the workplace." So raspberry noises to you sunshine. 🙂

I think you might win 'straw man of the month' award with that little gem. 😆
Junky, wearing the same shirt two days in a row is minging, soz my lovely, but it is.
You are entititled to your opinion and we disagree but that does not require "mingig " - can I call you names for your choices? Would this thread work better if I started suggesting you all had OCD were the perfumed brigade who cause asthma attacks when you walk past etc?
Clearly folk disagree but to suggest that if you dont change a shirt every day for an office worker makes you smell like a tramps underpants,is a "personal hygiene problem, is minging and all the other stuff written here is way OTT.
Really I wonder WTF you do that 8 hours sat there makes you smell - finishes with equally rude and pointless insults because we disagree.
Its a strange world when folk think we need to change all clothes every day when you do a sedentary job and then think they can call you names due to them being overly worried about cleanliness [ whilst going to bed in sheets they have not changed for a week]
Amusingly, it's the uniform, along with the black engineers' troos and black shoes.
I, however, have been subverting it by wearing a pair of Wranglers all week [until today as mentioned], short sleeved shirts and Airwalks and yesterday the same pants for 2 days in a row by mistake.
I have my own office FWIW, and I [i]was[/i] told-off when I was busted sloping about in flip-flops 🙂
Help! The dirty people are ganging up on me again mummy! 😆
It's ok Patrick Bateman, you can always go on a murderous rampage to sort us all out. 😛
[quote=Stinkyard ] Would this thread work better if I started suggesting you all had OCD
Careful. As I recall, there is a regular contributor who really does have OCD and is (rightly) offended when folk make light of the condition.
I'm wearing a t-shirt and three day jeans which obviously marks me as the worst kind of pleb. However it's a Rapha t-shirt which obviously marks me as smug and superior. Do I look up to or down on the chap sat next to me in a short sleeved shirt? As I don't pay much attention to his clothing normally I can't tell you whether or not he was wearing those clothes yesterday. Should I sneer just to be on the safe side?

PB is top of my list of "Fictional Characters you wish were real"
In all seriousness, we recently relaxed our dress code for when people aren't in meetings or are travelling.
Now it's fine to wear casual gear provided you're still smart, which is great, because i've always found sitting in a suit in my office all day completely pointless and more uncomfortable.
Trouble is, I went to the shops last night to pick up some casual gear for wearing in the office (think chinos and casual shirts rather than shorts and t-shirts) and I actually gave up and resigned myself to wearing suits. Everything either made me look like some sort of preppy Yank, or an absolute fud 🙁
Plain, unfussy navy suit and a plain shirt (no tie) is universally accepted everywhere 🙂
Polo shirts are not work shirts, they should be banned beyond 26" wheels, cast back into the dark ages where Golf was deemed both a form of Business Acceptance and Brown nosing yer Boss.
Simply not acceptable, nor are shorts.
Modern offices accept formal/casual mix with structured forms, for a reason. What you do in your own time is entirely up to you, but if you came into my office wearing a Polo Shirt I'd be the first to point & laugh.
