nope, just layed back people, I dont believe in any "classes".
-
No because I don't belive in judging people or forming some kind of class system in my mind. I'm not better then anyone no matter who they are or what they do.
-
No I dont.
-
No I dont.

I am not low-class!
-
If you wear jeans and a t-shirt to a company meeting, that would be low class manners and respect. But wearing jeans and a t-shirt for a walk or school is totally fine.
-
No, but I think anyone who DOES think that way is low class.
-
Not at all. I mean, people who work in high class can wear jeans and t-shirts, they just wanna be casual. People who work low class can wear high-priced stuff, and if you look at them, you'd think they have a little money in their banks, and they might now. You shouldn't judge someone by what they wear.
-
I consider them to be casually and comfortably dressed.They are fortunate they don't wear a tie that chokes,and a suit that is too hot in the summers.Anyway most people enjoy jeans and t-shirts.
-
Not in the slightest, to think so would be the thoughts of a snob. For a starter there are so many expensive designer jeans not to mention designer labels in t-shirt's as well. I consider people in jeans and t-shirt comfortably dressed.
-
Just for the record, I DON'T think people who wear jeans and t-shirts to work are low-class. I just wanted your view!

nope

Not if you're in construction [my oldest is, 2nd wears bib overalls- welder]. Dress for the job you want is an old adage. So if it's appropriate, go for it. If not, rethink the wardrobe. You wanna be a bank president or attorney? Wear a suit. I once lived on an island where the receptionist at the mayors office wore jeans and sweatshirt to work. She was a slob. And they couldn't figure out why no one took them seriously. SMILING and customer service never occurred to these folks either. We get back what we put out. :-)

No. I work in computing sales - to the finance sector (banks and insirance). I have customers where I have to wear a jacket and tie (the majority) and others where I would get linched if I did not go in in jeans and a T-shirt. The strange thing is that in many cases - they both have the same services and poach each others staff. The "T-shirt" ones think of themselves as being innovative - quick to change to market needs. Thats their culture. The "Suit and Tie" are more conservative, cautious. My favourite memory is of a colleague going to the "T-shirt" site and he had a heart attack when he saw we were going ot have to sit on bean bags. As he put it - "if I sit in that, I will never get out again...". So I dont look down on either, but I do feel that the clothes affect the mind set of the man (or woman) that is wearing them. When people get home and change out of their work clothes they can change personalities a little too.

Comfortable

In certain environments it is incredibly inappropriate. Even on Casual Friday in office environments, t-shirts are never okay to wear. I find them to look very unprofessional. However, there are some workplaces where it is okay to dress on the more casual/comfortable end of the spectrum. These are generally trades in which you do physical labor or do not interact with the public.
-
I think that depends on the work. A telephone repair man who climbs telephone poles would look foolish showing up for work in a suit and tie. It's completely relevant to the position and title. We have casual Fridays, if you don't want casually dressed people in a meeting, don't have them on Fridays or don't institute a casual Friday (or whatever day). Normally I think a person needs to dress appropriate to their rank and position.
-
depends on your work.. but today people wear jeans with an upper suit and a shirt inside.. and its still look decent :P jeans and shirt is comfortable as always :)

I do not believe it is low class, but I do think you should dress for your job. If you worked for a lawyers office or a bank you would most likely dress in business casual. If you worked in advertising you could wear jeans and a T-Shirt provided they weren't ripped up, faded, etc. They should be nice and presentable. If you are a plumber or work for a landscaping company then you could wear jeans and T-Shirts that are not so nice (after all you are doing a dirty job and don't want to soil good clothing). What people need to remember is they represent the company they work for. I am a secretary for a Real Estate office. I am the first thing people see when they walk in the door so I want them to know this is a professional company. Therefore I wear a lot of skirts and nice slacks. On Fridays I do "dress down" a bit. I will wear nice jeans and a sweater or blouse. That is mostly because I also clean the office on Fridays and do not like doing so in skirts and heels. But I make sure that I still look nice and professional because even though it is Friday, I am still representing my company.

As an archaeologist, the dress code is reversed - the scruffier the better. Occasionally someone will turn up to work wearing something nice (once a girl turned up in a skirt!), but it is exceedingly annoying watching them try to stay out of the mud all day - doing no work. As archaeology is a graduate profession I would say that it disproves any link between class and work clothes.
-
No, casually dressed people are cool.
-
I wouldn't generally think so. My mind would wrap around the thought they had a job that allowed them to wear jeans- THAT, or they own their own business, giving them the right to wear whatever they want while conducting business.
-
No usually, my honest first impression is that they're a college kid, or they're like working at a stupido producing shows because a lot people who do that wear those types of clothes.
-
I wear a tshirt and jeans almost every day.

As a geologist, I have to second bootlace's answer. I teach at a community college. Blue jeans are a standard part of the uniform for the geology faculty. I will admit that I don't usually wear t-shirts when I am on campus, but if I am working in the field, definitely, all of the geologists with whom I have been associate dressed about the same when working in the field. Again, these are professionals with advanced degrees. So, once again, it depends on the job that needs to be done. Additionally, to think of any honorable work as "low class" shows a significant amount of arrogance. It takes a lot of different types of jobs to keep our society going. Being a garbage man or sewer worker may not be particularly glamorous. However, I hate to think of what things would be like without people to do those job. So, I honor all of those who help keep our society humming. The only jobs that I would consider low class are those that I think are detrimental to our society.
-
definitely depends on the work... i have a nicer uniform during the day than my friend who works at the accountants.... but i work at a plumbers/sheetmetal workshop. and then at nights, working at the bar i wear black t shirts and jeans most the time but our bar is nicer than some of the other places where they have classy uniforms.

No

No . . . I envy them for having a job in which they can wear clothes they can be comfortable in.

No. Domestic servants are often young poor and low-educated boys and girls in their late teens/early 20's. Many of their employers are very strict and require them too wear uniforms (like shirt and tie for boys, blouse and skirt for girls). Many of them really hate it, but have to wear it. The same thing with waiter boys and waiter girls. Many of them, as well as the domestic servants, are much low class but they can't wear jeans and t-shirts to work because of their employers, even if the boys and girls want it.
