How low do you go? In professional offices, how lazy do you get? And, do you think there's a line?

    I am in a very tolerant environment - university professor.
    In the summer time I'm quite casual. Ie., sometimes I even rock the old "Never mind the bollocks" Sex Pistols t-shirt.

    During the semesters though, I'm more sharp/well-dressed. Its my personal style though.

    Is there a line? During the semester, I don't wear anything that will cause a distraction in the class room. In my 2nd year, I had a student who cast her gaze, in a singular fashion, solely on my groin-area. I realized that those pants were not for work.

      My rules:
      1. No shorts
      2. Nothing that shows any of my tattoos
      3. No Burning Man clothes...except outerwear...b/c faux fur can be really cozy in winter

      If I have meetings (60% of the time), I'm in a suit. The other days, I'm holed up in my own office and the only person who really sees me is my assistant - or secretaries peeking up from cubes if I go to the fax machine. Seriously, I'm having trouble caring how I look at work...at all. Today finds our hero in glasses, a hoodie, jeans, striped socks, hair buns, and clogs. Oh yeah - that's the look my boss is hoping for. Oy veh.

      Anyone else find their inner fashion stunted slob-child appearing in the office lately?
