https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-mk-short-sleeve-suit-dress-for-genesis-9 Isn't a dress, as the bottom ends in two separate legs.  If there was a piece of cloth that went all the way around to give them impression of a full skirt, it could be a considered a skorts-skirt.  There isn't, however, so it's a romper-suit or just a romper for short.

    Hmm.

    If anyone turned up wearing that where I work, senior managers would be turning them round & asking them to go home & get dressed with something suitable for a work environment. Same happens with blokes in shorts and/or Tee shirts.

    Regards,

    Let's face it.  About 1/3 of the female clothing that DAZ sells wouldn't be allowed in a lot of places of business... and let's not even get into their predilections in footwear.

    True 'nuff, but the promo images all shout 'SOHO/Business Suit'. I do admit that the company I work for has been fighting against being dragged into the wildly advanced and liberated 1980's in terms of dress codes.. It's only been in the last 2 years that ties have become optional in hot weather in the offices.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    Oof. I work for one of the largest insurance companies in the US and though I only have to go into the office once a month...when I do go in, it's into home office...and even home office has folks in jeans these days. And not just one or two rebels. Like most people are in jeans. Or khakis. When I go in I usually wear jeans with a nice graphic t-shirt under a plain black blazer...and SNEAKERS. Granted, nobody looks like a bum (they're nice sneakers with rhinestones on them)...but the company has been touting that if they're making people come into the office (because most folks have to go in 2-3 days a week now...I'm so far lucky...don't get me started on companies doing away with remote work...it's f'n 2023 come on) they're at least saying to show up as your "true self". Power suits and ties seem to be limited to the folks with alphabets in their titles.

    I haven't seen suit and ties at work for some 20 years, except on some sales persons and CEO's

    Most are wearing jeans and polo shirt/pullover/etc comfortable clothes

    I'm sure it looks great on Ivar 9, though

    Home office for me used to be like going to a power suit fashion show...which is mostly the reason why I would get anxiety having to go there. I hated the idea of buying clothes just to go into the office...especially clothes that weren't "me". The transition to "show up as yourself" didn't really start to happen until after covid...when they were trying to get people to come back into the office.

    Used to work at the main office of a large insurance company in 1999, and only the employees at ground floor and those with customer or client facing responsibilities were required to dress properly.
    As a programmer on the 3rd floor, I just grabbed a clean t-shirt from the top of the stack in my closet, and combined that with jeans and combat boots. The people from the callcenter we shared our floor with didn't exactly doll up either, except those who just liked being fashionable. The guys from IT-Support usually had a shared (no kidding!) jacket hanging over some unused chair, in case one had to help on-site at a place where clients or customers were.

    That said, I wouldn't exactly call it a dress, wouldn't call it a romper either. It's more of a hybrid, like a skort, which is a skirt on the front side but shorts on the back side. Sooo, a Dromper perhaps?

    We called them "culottes" in the past. That term now seems to refer to something quite different.

    @Timbales Thanks for the chuckle.

    LOL I have to agree with Bytescapes.

    Over the course of time I have seen many people who have to wear proper attire, depending on the job. Most office jobs the men wore dress pants or similar, dress shirt and shoes. Ladies on the other hand had a much bigger choice of clothes to wear, with dresses, skirts and pants, yet in all case had to be proper attire, this included proper hem length and/or amount of cleavage shown. Even in Walmart and grocery stores, you can basically wear what you want, won't matter cause of the aprons, vests or shirts you had to wear.

    The only places I can think of where you didn't have to dress proper is a job where no one see's you, like phone support and tech support, everything is done by phone or computer so not seen.

    The whole point for jobs is to look professional, there is nothing professional about jeans and tshirts unless you're in sports. Of all the places I worked over time, that short sleeved dress would not be allowed.

    At least here in Germany it's quite different. I worked in a governmental office (Unemployment Agency) and Jeans and short-sleeved shirt in the summer was the usual attire, and we had customer contact. Only when reaching the office manager level it was common - but not needed - to dress a bit more conservative. And yes, for females the dresscode was even more relaxed.

    Yes, there's businesses in which formal dress isn't optional - banks for example, for people with customer contact - but the Dress&Tie times are gone in many businesses...
