As a tech person who doesn’t fit “the look,” I hate that it’s become such a cultural signal. It’s rarely fun watching people react with surprise (doubt) when you tell them your occupation (if they give you the opportunity to chime in at all). :(
My fellow nerds, I would appreciate some more wardrobe diversity.
- ZephyrBlu 3y agoPeople doubt you're a SWE because of the way you dress? I think I would find that amusing. I'm also curious what your look/style is such that people don't believe you when you tell them your occupation.
- escapedmoose 3y agoI like to wear lots of colors, funky jewelry and patterns, bright pink lipstick. Friends have compared the look to Ms. Frizzle (the original). Combined with a generally chipper personality, it’s often not well-received by fellow engineers. I usually get along great with the business and PMO though haha
