Honestly, I don't see where the correlation between dress and degrees come into play. Yes, you have to be dressed appropriately for your job and certain events. Outside of your job you are a human being. If you are worried about what you are wearing I would argue that you are focused too much on what other people think rather than being yourself. Also, random though but, in my opinion degrees are about getting the education to assist you in your professional career and nothing to do with how you present yourself afterwards. They don't mean you are good at your job. They just mean you have a better chance at being good at your job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.. Please wear proper attrie when in formal settings like: Airports, Malls, Doctors offices, Stores, etc.. If you're indoors or around the house sweatpants are fine hell even at the gym is fine. Only exceptions to sweatpants imo is when you're going out for an emergency or need to grab/do something in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that needs to be covered is covered. I wear them to work everyday now. Found jeans just too constricitng especially after I got fat. Also I don't think a log mill is going to shame me too much for wear sweat pants, not like I am a lawyer lol. I like my adidas track pants that have zippers on the pockets, don't have to worry about dropping my keys or phone or wallet in my car ever. Wear those pants to hardware stores, work, soccer field, etc. Edited May 10, 2020 by Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Yeah, definitely. It's nice to pair them with a jean jacket and slip on shoes. At the moment, I have been wearing sweatpants, leggings, and right now I am wearing a dress. I have various pairs of leggings, and it's easy to switch them out. Same with pajama bottoms and sweatpants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicHearts Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Of course. They're comfortable and keep you warm when it's cold, so I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 There's a reason that Vancouverites and Canadians aren't known to be very fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is the height of fashion to not give AF. Though I do remember an article ripping lulu lemon and stating Vancouver has terrible fashion. Meanwhile the entire world followed that fashion trend. See, Vancouver doesn't need fashion. It's filled with handsome healthy people, they make everything look good.

I honestly feel that the earlier in life you quit worrying about what people think of you... the better off you are. Work is different, you dress accordingly to what a boss wants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t see lot of yoga pants in Rome, Milan, Paris, Barcelona or any other fashionable European city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
