I know you're probably a woman, but it's funnier to imagine a man posting this. Either way, nice.

Thanks I guess. The reason I specified the last part is because I wasn't sure whether the question was asking what I like wearing to work or what my workwear is.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I'm the one that messed the question up not including my underwear?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I tend to think of things like clothing questions in terms of the act of wearing rather than what people see/expect, so I often put that in thinking it fits the goal. And then I second-guess myself.

Interesting, in terms of work attire I go pure utility, but it sounds like we have different work environments. For my private life it's usually just whatever is the most comfortable. If I'm cross dressing then it's whatever fits my body type the best and mitigates my shortcomings, lol.

However you interpret it, no need to second guess yourself. It's just your opinion and it's valid either way.

I work in the media industry so it's more aesthetically-based for me. Albeit I wish they let us be choosy enough to not have to adapt to a colour scheme, not that I don't predominantly cycle between four of those as I am just about never out of the day-to-day milieu.

Unless I misunderstand, the last one seems pretty normal. So you just happen to only default on one normal thing? Also, sorry for confusing things earlier and leading to this weird convo path.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Even that one is very uncommonly worn, but yeah, it's a de facto (not strived) default (minus the bandanna). Exceedingly predominant are me cycling the other three eight hours at a time.
