How engineers usually dress for their jobs????



I want to be an engineer but I want a job tha I dress in suit???????????

Engineers I've worked with pretty much always wear a collared shirt, decent slacks and shoes (almost never blue jeans). The bigger the company, the more likely that they also wear a tie.

Suits are usually for important meetings or business trips only, not for everyday engineering work. Source(s): My own work experience (20+ years).
Well, Engineers are usually office workers which means depending on the rules of that particular company their dress will range from polo shirt + jeans to dress shirt, slacks & tie.
My best friend is a chemical engineer and wears jeans and a nice dress shirt to work everyday. He has to wear suits for meetings but when he is in the field or lab, he wears everyday nice clothes, not a suit. He could afford to though, engineers make a lot of money!
This really depends on the type of engineer and the company and is not really engineering specific.

I would guess that most engineers anymore dress in business casual (kakis, oxford shirt), no tie. That is how my company works, and many of the places I visit. A few companies even allow jeans and polo shirts.

About the only time I wear a tie is when meeting with clients or going to funerals or weddings.
Most engineer firms I have worked in the dress code was bussiness casual. Meaning casual pants and polo shirts where find. However, the more I went to meetings and met with clients, I had to dress up in a shirt and tie. However, I did have some industrial clients that would come to meetings in jeans and t-shirts so I usually wore jeans and a polo shirt with my companies logo.
You shouldn't decide on a carreer on how you dress. I did interview at a company that did alot of millitary work that everyone was dressed up (even the forklift operators).
I think you should plan to be on the business end of Engineering if you want to wear a suit. I work for a construction company as an engineer and we only wear suits for Meetings. Other wise it is a collared shirt and jeans. Also Look at design engineering with computer systems.
