don't you hate when you come into work/any other function and someone is wearing almost the exact same thing you are? today must be universal untucked longsleeve dress shirt with jeans day or something. how do you usually react to someone almost looking like you? you call 'em out, or just roll with it?

at least my shirt is ironed...

This is how men should dress everyday.

I rarely encounter this problem because I dress like crap. Go me!

I almost always wear a suit shirt un-tucked over jeans. They're always long sleeved but the sleeves are always rolled up to the elbows, even in winter. I generally will throw a v-necked fine knit jumper over the top of my shirts in winter and roll the sleeves up.

I roll with it and tell people we planned to come to work like this before they can ask if we planned to come to work like that.

Form a gang with them. Whether they want to or not. Sometimes it gets awkward if I have to tattoo them.

I wear the pimpest collard shirts at work. Nobody can match my swag!

I have to wear a suit every day to work, which is a place where everyone wears suits, so it's not particularly weird to see someone with a similarly-colored one. Unless they have the same tie, which would just be crazy. And then I would lie in wait until they were snoozing at their desk and cut it off.

TAKE YOUR UNDERWEAR OFF AND WEAR IT ON YOUR HEAD. "HEY LOOK, AT LEAST OUR UNDERWEAR IS DIFFERENT. SEE? MOTHERSMURFERS!"

PS:I have NEVER done that in my life. :bigsmile:

When people wear the same clothing as me though I normally just laugh, check them out and go "Damn you look good but personally I'm going to say it suits me better!" Normally with my friends this will result in a few minutes joking around about who looks better. With those I don't know well or don't know me they tend to get really offended but that's their problem for going out buying the same clothes as me and wearing them to the same places as me.

I have seen people wearing clothes I also own but never has it happened at the same time.

I have never worked somewhere that didn't require everyone to be wearing the exact same uniform, so...

Sometimes I'll wear a similar color scheme as another teacher, and the kids will go ermergerd, did you guys do that in purpose?! To which I say yes, I called her at six this morning and we thoroughly discussed our outfits over breakfast.

We used to joke about memos at my old job when three of us would somehow all wear a purple top.

Now I wear scrubs and so does everyone else.

I die a little inside whenever I go to the bank in "work appropriate" clothes and the fifty year old teller is wearing the same shirt as me :(

This has never happened although I did see a girl walking down the street (singing doowop doo a diddy dee diddy dee) a horizontal striped black and white shirt. Mine is a bit looser and the sleeves are different. I was also going to wear white shorts, but realized jeans are superior. Sometimes I'll wear black slacks, but I always wish I were wearing jeans instead.

It's funny because most people here will either wear a skirt, dress, suit, or jeans. This hot guy at work always wears a suit. He has a lot of work groupies.

Eric has always worn pretty swaggirific clothes.

I don't really give 2 roody poo's anymore about how I dress, but if I end up wearing something collared and or button up, I definitely am swaggin'. Swag-a-licious. And I def do it WAY better ;)

I'd be amazed if anyone wore the same clothes as me to work as I work on my own.

Or do you?

Anyways I look like a homeless person 99% of the time until I go out and actually have to kind of look presentable then, nobody can cop my stylings. Nobody at all.

I would seriously not care though it always seems to be a big deal to everyone else. I would just say to him "Good taste, my friend".

There are only so many cool clothes to buy.
