Our dress code at the office is shirt+tie. Cue tons of ill-fitting shirt and tie sets from men's warehouse

I work at Target, red and khaki as far as the eye can see. A very small handful have some nice cardigans and hoodies... but a uniform is a uniform you can only jazz it up so much.

I dont know how people can shop in abercrombie. The horable stinch coming from the store gives me a headache just walking past it.

My high school was a college prep schoo (graduated this year). So it was very stylable. Chino's/dress pants, dress shoes, polo's and sweaters in spring/fall. In the winter dress shirt, tie's and sports coats

you guys are pansies... i worked at AF and had a bottle break all over me. I took 5 or 6 showers in a row before the smell went away. Not a single headache. I did work there, and maybe I built up an immunity. I seriously don't remember it bothering me before I worked there though, so my judgment stands you guys are pansies.

You haven't seen anything 'til you visit Marshall University's campus or just West Virginia in general. We have a mall that is behind by at least 10 years. Macys is the best store and that's not saying much. Most of the dudes are decked out in American Eagle, Aeropostale, and garbage from Steve and Barry's. Hell, the same could be said for most of the girls. You wouldn't believe how many people here still wear carpenter jeans. Aside from a terrible mall, there's also a boutique that exclusively sells Christian Audigier and Ed Hardy so that's always a hit. There's also another boutique that sells Evisu and the like that always keep the football and basketball players clothed.

Pretty bad. I work at a distribution/sales center. There are less than 50 office workers and probably only 20 of us are guys. One guy is pretty stylish just cause he wears express. I come in second and I wear 90% gap clothes at work. Hey! I like it. I want to get one of the warehouse guys to wear around my jeans and break them in...haha

I have neither a school nor a workplace, so I really don't have anything to judge myself against. But just the other day, my cat gave me a look, and I swear this was a look of "Daaaaaaammmmnnn, you on some next-level ****!"

My work is basically a joke stylistically. I did a BoO S/S of last year type of look one time and it really didn't jive with the faded jeans and popped collar aesthetic people are into there. Basically everyone was totally befuddled. Odd since that kind of thing seems fairly conservative to me. I have since stopped bothering with interesting fits there.

My school is about what you'd expect from a university: varied. A broad range of styles, varying from the really awful to the moderately good to the people who probably do dress well when they go out but can't be arsed to do so for class (and can hardly be blamed for that perspective). A lot have an eye but have been led astray in taste... I'm thinking of one guy in particular who dresses like your stereotypical hypebeast (Lacoste / D&G / Gucci / R&R / etc) for streetwear, but he had an interview one day and was wearing an impeccably tailored suit and shirt. There's hope for some of them yet, including me, maybe.
