Hi all this is going to be a bit of an odd topic, but here we go. My girlfriend seems to be concerned alot about the pants I’m wearing to work. I work in an office and the dress code is just business causal. So I wear khakis and button shirt, belt and dress shoes. It passes. And that’s all I care about. But my girlfriend doesn’t like how my pants are fairly baggy and kinda loose on me and not really the right length. I on the other hand don’t give a crap because it’s just work. And she tried to make the argument that it’s not about looks but it’s about getting some pants that actually fit. Ummmm well the more pants fit the better they look soooo I’m pretty sure it has to do with looks even though she won’t admit it. It’s not like my girlfriend works with me. Nobody at my work knows her. So her reputation isn’t hurt in any way. But anyway my question is like…what’s the big deal? Who cares what I wear to work as long as I’m not breaking dress code? It shouldn’t be that important. What is important is doing your job, working hard, and getting results. Which I do. So why do people hold these weird ass dress to impress standards??? For me going to work is like doing chores. You’re not gonna wear your best looking clothes while doing them right? It just confuses me. It’s my image. And when I feel that it matters to dress up nice, I actually clean up damn well, ya know like if I’m going to a wedding or a dinner date or something that’s actually enjoyable. Anyway if someone can help me think outside the box here or figure out what she’s thinking that would be great. Because obviously we had an argument on this and now she’s all pissy.
Thanks!
