<p>i know this might sound a little out of topic but do engineers wear suits to their jobs? like armani or calvin Klein.</p>
<p>Engineers are widely known not to wear suits...but some do.</p>
<p>i would rather wear suits than dress casual.</p>
<p>Personal style i guess. I'd much rather dress casual than wear suits. The dress code varies from company to company and on the nature of your work. You won't find many engineers in the field wearing Armani suits, that's for sure.</p>
<p>I dont know why people dont like wearing suits. They show others that you have class and you know how to dress. Can engineers afford Armani suits?</p>
<p>Well, if you want to wear a suit, I can't imagine anyone would try to stop you...</p>
<p>My husband would tell you that where he works anyone wearing a suit looks like an intern or a junior executive wannabe. I like suits too, but...</p>
<p>ballin...Weenie is right.You can look really good if you buy excellent quality dress shirts and pants and then have them dry cleaned every week. You can splurge on excellent shoes if you work in an office. Buy an awesome watch if you want. Get manicures, go to the barber often. On first glance you won't look any different from the others however they will know someting is different about you. This can take you far without making your boss look bad.</p>
<p>Im sure it depends at the job, but we need to remember that engineering is a Blue collar job, that goes from the blue collar to the white. Its a Midway point. I am more towrds the Blue side of things. I like to get in and dirty.</p>
<p>i work at a software company and everyone's wearing shirt + khakis and that's it, suit makes u feel uncomfortable all day (well for some).</p>
<p>Definitely not suits. Even the managers wear khakis.</p>
<p>It really depends on what you do. If you're in sales (engineer turned salesman?) or upper management and have to frequently deal with clients, suits become much more prevalent. On the other hand, neither MATLAB not AutoCad care what you're wearing (it'll give you the same results regardless of if you're wearing a full suit, boxers and a dress shirt, a towel...) so for daily office work it tends to just be something presentable.</p>
<p>Right. At a company where I interned, dress shirts + khakis are the norm, but when it comes to meetings with clients, most wear suits.</p>
<p>isn't it harder for us women? what on earth does a woman engineer wear? do I get to wear hot shoes? probably not :(</p>
