Does anyone in your store still wear khakis?

[jackandcat]

When I'm at the store, I very rarely see TMs or ETLs wearing khakis (though our SD usually does). At your store, are many TMs still wearing khaki trousers?

 

[Greenandred]

I do.

 

[happygoth]

We still have quite a few who do, but jeans are more prevalent. Our SD wears jeans more often than not, as does most of leadership. Was just looking through my closet today and thinking about getting rid of my khakis.

 

[Dog]

I don’t wear jeans to work

 

[OK Then]

About 40% still do. When you have a closet full of them you might as well use them up.

 

[oath2order]

I do, why wouldn't I?

 

[Rarejem]

I do. I don't like wearing jeans and I have a lot of khakis.

 

[Leo47]

Not really. Mostly jeans. I still have my khakis that I use as my backup pants in case my jeans rip or something

 

[Kartman]

Jeans are HOT!

 

[hufflepuff]

I wear khaki cargo pants. Jeans never really worked for me doing backroom and fulfillment.

 

[INFThatShiz]

Khakis make my thighs look big.

 

[COextraordinaire]

A lot of people love to wear the Target shirt that says “Red and Khaki” in big gold letters.

They all wear jeans with it though.

It tugs at my OCD tendencies a little.

Cargo pants are hard to find in jeans, plus they have enough pockets for gloves, box cutters, red marker, keys, cough drops, name tag (when on break), phone charger and cord, wallet and spare change.

I've been wearing mine this summer because I overheat, but I think I can transition back to jeans soon.

Carpenter jeans.

This might be location-specific. My store is near Seattle. Wearing jeans to work is considered very cool, the khaki trousers not so much. In Seattle-area office professional jobs, most jobs only require "business casual" or "casual" clothing rather than more formal "business" dress. I get the sense that many other areas of the US aren't so "laid back".

I go back and forth between blue jeans and khakis. I prefer the feel of jeans though, so I've finally found one pair of tan jeans (that aren't skinny/jeggings like Target seems to favor) at another store, but haven't had any luck finding more. I did try on some of the Skinny/Jegging ones today, and I don't know, they just don't look good with my gym shoes and the fact that I have a big feet, lol!

 

[Ringwraith917]

Yes

Business casual means that you aren't wearing a blazer/suit jacket, but that you can pass (barely) as business formal by putting one on. It's ridiculous the kind of clothing people wear and try to pass off as "business casual". Women are worse than men (skirts too short, heels too high and showing heel and toe, neckline too low, yoga pants or pants too tight) but men are bad too (shirts so tight that muscle definition is clearly seen, tight pants, athletic shoes). Sometimes I wonder if the younger generation even knows what business casual is, rather than knowing and ignoring, because they haven't seen an entire staff in a professional setting clothed appropriately.

 

[InboundGrunt]

My store is probably 80/20 in favor of jeans.

 

[happygoth]

Jeans are HOT!

I find khakis hotter and more uncomfortable.

Unless you meant hot as in sexy, then yes I agree, jeans can be very hot.

 

[happygoth]

Khakis make my thighs look big.

Agree, I think they look terrible on me. Not a flattering color at all.

 

[Kartman]

Lordy! My $12 khakis from Walmart are paper thin. If you get the brands that cost more and are as thick as blue jeans... yea - HOT.

 

[redeye58]

I do. I don't like wearing jeans and I have a lot of khakis.

Ditto here.

 

[dannyy315]

Jeans all the way. Gap Factory jeans to be more specific, $30 and the quality is good.
