Your first day at a new job can resemble your first day of school — the familiar nervous butterflies and thoughtful wardrobe choices included. With more than half of you admitting that you judge your co-workers by how they dress, taking care in making a first impression at work would only make sense. Do you recall what you selected for your first day on the job?

Cityclips ($36) are a working girl's dream come true. We take care in building our work wardrobes and spend a pretty penny in doing so, and cityclips are the answer to saving our perfect-fit pants and hard earned cash.

Here at Sugar HQ we're lucky to dress as we please every day of the week, but I didn't always have it so good. My old office had me buttoned up day in and day out, though on Fridays most employees interpreted our business-casual dress code on the more casual side.
Men would wear khakis and a more colorful button-up shirt, and women might wear a sweater or a more comfortable dress than usual.

Last I checked there wasn't a skins option for office attire — shirts are mandatory! And pants for that matter, unless you're the woman in this video! An offended worker wrote to Slate's Dear Prudence about her exhibitionist co-worker, and they appreciated the story so much her letter was brought to cartoon life.

When your office requires a specific dress code you can end up with several wardrobes: one for work, one for casual daytime, and another for nights out. Leaving a business-casual environment (no sleeveless shirts, open-toed shoes, denim, etc.) and moving to a casual environment was a truly freeing experience for me! Not to mention the money I save from not having to buy a separate work wardrobe.

Unsuspecting pantyhose may not come off as headline making hosiery, but with Summer upon us everyone from The Wall Street Journal to Good Morning America has been giving them attention. Diane Sawyer challenged American men to test pantyhose for one day and the guys who got their hose on went above and beyond.
The Hollywood Handymen, Britt and George, wore theirs through a full day of physical labor and NY real estate agent Josh Fields kept his on while playing baseball.

Old adages may tell us to "dress for success" and "dress for the job you want, not the job you have," but 49 percent of you define your work dress code as "business casual." I happen to think business casual is perfectly appropriate for most professions and when it's not companies usually create a dress code; however, it seems pretty obvious that we all judge a book by its cover from time to time. Do you find yourself judging your co-workers based on their style?

Pantyhose and I are not friends. We have never been friends, and I don't even like the way it sounds when I say "pantyhose." Fortunately, I haven't been forced into wearing them since childhood, and apparently I should consider myself lucky.
