Is this North Face jacket acceptable for office work?

[d_brennen]

I would prefer black to baby blue but whatever floats your boat. You did want to avoid sticking out, right?

Your life must be complicated if you have to give a thought about what colleagues think about clothes you buy!

Does it rain in your office?

Why do you need to wear a jacket in your office?

^^^ this really - why would you wear a coat indoors?

Have a sit down with your parents, ask them how they got on without the Internet.

Well judging by Spitting Image, I reckon Roy Hattersleys colleagues wore a raincoat or two.

You have to do the blue steel pose from zoolander or it won't work in your office with this jacket

I would not find that jacket acceptable for wearing in an office.

Depends on your job, your employer and standards in the office.

God knows what troubles you go through deciding what to wear INSIDE the office!

Soft shell is all the rage. Get one of those if you wanna look trendy.

I have business casual as well, but I've taken to wearing jeans and t-shirt/polo-shirt... eek. Need to get myself up to scratch again.

North Face is too common, so no. It's become the Superdry of the faux-adventurer brigade.

Even the scalls have shifted from TNF to Rab up in Liverpool now!

I'd say that's quite acceptable for the workplace. The styling is perfectly fine in my opinion, so I presume it's the colour you're not sure about OP?

Oh god, don't say that, I've got two Rab jackets - don't let them ruin another brand!

I'll need to see you wearing the jacket and adopting a boxing stance before I can give a valid opinion as to whether your colleagues will bow down to your alpha sartorial statement.

I usually take my jacket off when I get into the office. I get too warm otherwise.

If it's Formal Friday then my mole skin business tuxedo is thick enough to act as a jacket.

Hi all, I am currently looking for a lightweight jacket for Spring that is considered acceptable for business casual in an office environment.

....

As long as it's for use out of the office, I can't see a problem. My office has always had a firm 'professional' dress code for client-facing roles, but within reason, I don't care what staff wear going to/from the office. By within reason, I mean a full-body chicken costume, or a fig leaf and a grin, might be taking it too far, but any normal clothing, however loud in colour, wouldn't be a problem provided they were business-smart during working hours.

What staff wear commuting is none of my business. It only becomes an issue if it's something that starts affecting the business. I can't inagine how that coat would, for any 'normal' office, or office job.

This.

I wear a black north face jacket to/from work, and never thought anything of it. I'd be surprised if anyone else had ever thought anything of it either...
