    For both. I wear cheap business casual to work to present a particular image: appear like I have my shit together (I don’t) but I’m also budget conscious. I wear the same outfit every day (for me) because I hate making fashion decisions and crave simplicity. I have five of the same shirt and five of the same pant. Weekends I have a different uniform that says “fit, economical, comfortable, safe.” Two of the same pant and shirt.

    Outside of work: Both. I want people to think I look good in the clothes I wear, but even if they don’t I am probably not going to change them. At work: We have a dress code. I follow it to the letter, because I think it makes a positive difference in how I am perceived by my employer. I almost completely disregard my own preferences in this context.

    I don’t do either of those. Besides obvious things like not wearing shorts in winter I just grab the first thing that isn’t uncomfortable.

    I’ve learned, through the years, what’s comfortable for me and still produces an image that others find pleasing. That image is still very comfortable looking, mind you. I’ve been told that when I’m out I look like “Merlin on vacation…”
