You can tell how often I have to follow smart-casual.
Heh, come work with me some time. The recommended dress code is jeans and a T. They warn you NOT to wear anything nice.

Mind you, I'm changing tyres on the side of the motorway and doing jumpstarts wherever. I generally come home after a 16 hour day looking like I've been cleaning street drains...

My job was meant to be casual, turned up day one in a shirt and trousers and looked really out of place. Tried it again a month later (clothes shortage due to living in B&B) and had about 20 people ask me what I was interviewing for.

I'd always put on shoes/shirt/tie for interview just in case there isn't much to choose between but once you have the job just fit in. I feel out of place wearing anything *but* jeans in work.

Anyways, GL karbon! How much longer? We all got told the evening after the presentation, group chat and triple interviews...

Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for a retail sales role!

For work, I wear trousers that we sell (i.e. combat/cargo style) and our uniform tshirt.

For the last Sales Assistant interviews we had, I told all the candidates to wear whatever they thought was appropriate. It's a bit of a bastard for them to hear, but really easily shows up the sort of person you are looking for when they come in wearing a suit instead of tracksuit and hoody
