I am working for an afterschool program and was wondering what do you wear to work? Is it business casual? Oh, by the way I am a woman

thanks

i wear jeans most of the time (black or dark blue, nice ones) and any shirt or t-shirt, cardigan, etc. sometimes i wear a skirt or dress.

i wear most of my regular clothes.

I usually just wear a garbage bag with arm holes, bright red high heels, and a tinfoil hat....

I always wear my elephant posing pouch....

Korean girls at my school (co-teachers) tend to really dress up, complete with ruffles, bows, anything shiny, sequins, shiny high heels, lace collars, blouses, patterned tights, hair accessories, phew!

I never feel the urge to go all out though, i keep my dress code chic yet simple.

Thanks for the help ciccone. So I'll just wear what I would wear I guess here in the US; slacks and a shirt, cardigan. What are the going out clothes... does anything pretty much go??

Keeping it casual is the way to go. In public schools, usually jeans are a no-no unless you are female. Female teachers seem to get away with jeans, though the men all work dress pants, shirt and tie (save the PE teachers and music teacher)

Mr. Squirrel, overweight guys look their best in leopard skin tights.

[definitely maybe]

presentation is huge here, whether we like it or not. i've known excellent teachers who constantly got shit for dressing too casually, as well as guys who didn't even put forth a minimum effort but were treated like saints simply because they wore ties. some other posters may disagree, but i'd say that looking sharp never hurts. i'm not saying you should go all out, but you never know . . .
