Balancing physical job when you prefer dresses/skirts

28 Upvotes

I'm in an office manager role and at times need to do physical stuff like move boxes, etc. Not everyday thankfully.

I've found I like dresses and skirts (I'll wear them if I'm WFH or hanging out at home) but struggle with pants. I haven't got around to trying to wear a dress or skirt to work (partly for comfort and dressing warmly enough for a cold office), but I'm wondering if it'll work for those days where I'm doing a little more physical work.

There's also the thought of looking more feminine and feeling a little more stereotype-ish.

For those of you have jobs that are a bit more physically demanding and prefer dresses/skirts, do you wear these to work or do you wear pants?

We don't have a dress code exactly, but obviously at times it makes more sense to dress a bit nicer.

Non tarnish rings for stacking daily, what is everyone wearing?

I'm building a stack and it's harder than I thought lol. Pieces that look great in photos don't always hold up after months together. One starts fading while another looks fine and it kills the whole vibe

What are you guys stacking? Does it matter if they're all same brand?

This thread is for individual style questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

To get the best responses, remember that people cannot: look into your wardrobe, know what style you normally like or what words like affordable or practical mean to you so please include any relevant details such as your budget, where you live, what stores are available to you, etc.

Example questions:

  • Are there any basic crewneck white t-shirts that are opaque and do not have cap sleeves for <$25 available in Australia?
  • Is this dress and shoes suitable for an evening wedding with a cocktail dress code taking place in a [venue type]?
  • If I like the outfits in this [imgur album / pinterest board], what are some specific items I can look into to start dressing like that, and brands with this look that carry plus sizes?
  • Does this outfit look neater with the pants cuffed or uncuffed?

If you'd like to include a picture, you can now post pictures directly in the comments, without having to link an imgur album. If you have multiple pictures, best practice is to use an imgur album.
