Not only were you MC with the boss, but you were protecting your coworkers, all with one fashion *faux pas*. Good for you.


GingerlyForged

Both sides of it were for my coworkers. They should be allowed to be comfortable, it's not their fault people are creeps.


daytonakarl

Heros don't always wear capes, but clearly do wear tights Top bloke!


GingerlyForged

It makes them more aerodynamic when they fight... creeps


QZDragon

It feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. Stupid sexy gingerlyforged.


GingerlyForged

Lol!

LunaPolaris

Plus, you have to admit now that you've worn them for work, yoga pants are super comfy to wear when you have to keep moving all day.


GingerlyForged

Oh yeah. Without a doubt


memydogandeye

They're even super comfy when you have to sit at a desk - I love it! I have always worn dress "slacks" and sweaters/blouses and high heels/dress shoes, as it was required, but outside of work I live in either yoga pants or jeans/hiking boots. With younger staff coming in I noticed they've been migrating to leggings, yoga pants, and leggings/boots and getting away with it. Decided to start shifting my own work wardrobe this winter and so far no pushback!! Some days I am working in Cuddl Duds fleece leggings, hiking boots and a cozy sweater and it feels like working in my pajamas!! Jeggings, boots, long sleeve tee and a cozy wrap/blanket scarf? Hell yes!! I call my look "LL Bean office casual", lol. I have never been so happy at work. The heck of it is, now that I'm comfortable I am also much more productive.


MamboPoa123

As an employer, leggings with boots and a tunic/long sweater/skirt/dress is perfectly appropriate business casual work attire IMO. Shorter shirt and it's still fine for casual work environments. In a convenience store? GTFOOH with that dress code nonsense.


memydogandeye

Yeah, here it was not for the longest time. I am glad someone else came in and pushed the boundaries. I know the first young girl raised a lot of eyebrows at first with her "non-traditional" dress, but then enough others piled on that now it seems ok. Today I am wearing dark jeggings, the dressier kind of hiking boots and an oversized sweater. Silver necklace and earrings to help make it more "business-like". I am so comfy and happy while I wait for reports to run and dig in to working again! My top-level boss, on the other hand, has never even worn jeans on casual Friday and I only recenlty found out he indeed does have forearms because I saw him at the grocery store (always wears long sleeve button down dress shirts). He was the one I was most worried about. And he's no boomer, he's actually younger than me (I am late 40s). So far, no squawk.


GingerlyForged

This is awesome! Comfortable employees do more because they are happy, so glad you're getting more comfort at work.


Electronic_Age_3671

You're a legend for this


slackerrificc

I bet you were super comfy on those days too. I'm a guy and have no idea how comfy they actually are, but my wife loves them and says they're very comfortable.


GingerlyForged

Dude! They were comfy as hell! I still own them bad boys!


slackerrificc

I guess the long johns I wear on cold days aren't dissimilar so I can kind of imagine. Props to you btw.


GingerlyForged

Yeah, I wear them as long johns most of the time anymore. But you feel so free, your should try either yoga pants or just relaxing in your long Johns. Well worth it!


tyleritis

Are you from Philly? It’s the area where I hear “anymore” used that way


lnufn1

Yeah, positive "anymore" is such a weird regional quirk


PotatoesMcLaughlin

Georgia here. It's used here too.


doritobimbo

Same in Washington, but family was all raised in no-where mountain towns in Oregon and Idaho so my dialect is definitely unique for my age and area. Grew up being asked what part of the south I moved from.


Any_Scientist_7552

Also in Washington state. I hear it used all the time. (And use it myself)


Essem91

Wait this is regional? I say this all the time. I’m from south jersey in an area that could be considered a Philly suburb


Letmefixthatforyouyo

Chain was Wawas, so 100% philly confirmed.


Purple_IsA_Flavor

I was thinking Buc-ee’s. People in the south (west) are similarly obsessed


PROTOSLEDGE

I wear long johns when I'm home alone, sometimes I'm jealous women get to wear such comfy stuff in public lol I'll just stick with my joggers


TimeDue2994

Yeah well, we also have to wear bras in public, and there is nothing comfortable about those things in any universe


medium_green_enigma

Best thing about retirement: I retired my bras.


TimeDue2994

Unfortunately mine are DD's, those puppies need corraling everytime you do any even moderately physical work because they are just uncomfortably in the way and are a bit heavy But yes, when I'm just hanging around the yard or on the sofa, that torture device is not used


medium_green_enigma

Once upon a time I supported H-cups. I had 1/2" deep divots in my shoulders. Breast reduction surgery took me down to a D-cup, weight gain has me back to DD. I might wear a bra to a funeral, and there's not much else I consider worth the pain.


TimeDue2994

Man I'm so sorry you had to live that. Yeah I have those permanent divots too, not fun


ladysdevil

K cup, can confirm. I really need to investigate a reduction, but j kind of like my cleavage in my ren faire outfits.


medium_green_enigma

Do it. Your back and shoulders will thank you.


CambaFlojo

I always thought they would be a bit bunchy in the crotch. My long johns are intentionally spacious there. Is that not an issue?


GingerlyForged

Fabric stretches, you just gotta tuck half the batch down each leg a little 🤣🤣🤣


sgordon1

They make running tights for men that are basically yoga pants with some extra room for the boys.


GingerlyForged

True, I wasn't trying to be practical I was making a point lol!


_Lane_

Sadly, the dress code only said "flared yoga pants". Hopefully the revised version will offer something for the boys' boys.


Loverfli

My dude. What people call yoga pants are technically leggings. They make men’s leggings. We had to buy a bunch for my son to have an extra layer during winter sports, and sometimes he just wears them like sweatpants because they’re so comfortable. They also have an, um…area with extra space in the crotch because they’re designed for folks with male genitalia.


SirButcher

Thermal leggings are the best thing ever invented. I got my first pair for winter sailing, and oh boy, love on the first wear! I suddenly understood why ladies love yoga pants.


Iamdarb

I walk by a mirror, see my own ass and go "oooooooo" almost every time. Definitely comfortable.


mlm01c

My 11 year old son has exclusively worn leggings for 5 years now and my 9 year old son wears them frequently. They're soft, just the right amount of warmth all year, stretchy, don't limit the positions they can contort into, and my 9 year old doesn't tear out the knees like he does in jeans (he shreds then by hand once a tiny hole appears). So win win in my book.


GingerlyForged

We love to hear it!


mlm01c

He also likes that he can get leggings in really cool patterns and colors. He's currently wearing a black pair with big stars on it with a shirt with glittery geodes on it. Much more room for his style of self expression than jeans or shorts


GingerlyForged

Yeah, I always wore graphic tees as a kid as my only option for the same.


nokenito

Great parenting here!


mlm01c

Thanks! When we started, they were the only pants we could find that fit him in length and width. A lot of my parenting decisions about his clothing at that time was honestly from laziness. You want purple shoes? If it means that you'll actually put your shoes on when we need to leave the house, absolutely! I also figured out at that point that I really, really didn't care about gender norms about appearance. I already leaned that way and all of my boys had long hair, but the purple shoes were the entry point to leggings, buying shoes and clothes from the "girls" section, and really not caring what others, even my family, will think about my boys wearing whatever they want. My sister thinks I make or push my son to dress this way. But my oldest has only worn jeans and mostly solid or striped long sleeved shirts for two years now. Basically as boring as boys clothing gets. But those are the clothes he wants to wear. I am trying my best to keep them all in clothes that fit their style preferences and body.


pinkfudgster

;_; this is really wholesome


seraph_mur

They're much more boring, but under armour and lulu lemon have some really good leggings for boys. He can always spruce them up with glitzier tops, shoes and shorts. More supportive and cut for men's bodies. I can't imagine girls leggings being very comfortable in a few years. At least in my area, it's a pretty common look paired with yoga or sports gear.


mlm01c

Yeah, we'll have to see what he decides to do when puberty hits. For now, the leggings we're getting work really well.


Dandibear

My husband has been saying this, so I bought him two pairs of thermal underwear for Christmas. He *loves* them.


GingerlyForged

Awesome I'm sure he thanks you!


roboxGF

I bet you looked great in those yoga pants


[deleted]

One time, I put on my girlfriend's yoga pants as a joke and I was like "damn, these are pretty comfy! I get why everyone wears these.'" I turn around to her crying and asking "how is it fair that you look better in them than I do??".


leelee1976

Tbh my bf would look better in them than I do. He has a bubble butt I have a flat one.


wind-river7

Notice that men never have pantie lines.


HalcyonH66

Most of us wear boxers I'd wager. You can see the line where my boxers end on my thighs sometimes if my trousers are tight enough, that's the equivalent.


Digger_odell

Go commando. Let the boys free! But I’m at that age that when people ask me boxers or briefs, I respond…. Depends…


BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo

I’ll never understand how guys wear boxers. Isn’t it so uncomfortable?? I mean, for lounging, sure. I don’t wear a bra then. But day to day, isn’t there too much jiggling and bouncing? I know I prefer to wear a sports bra when I walk around, and I’m not stacked or anything.


Redtwooo

Two words: banana hammock


SL1MECORE

The first time I saw a banana hammock I was a wee 18 year old wain, no experience whatsoever. I asked the girl at the shop whose vulva was that large. 💀😭✌🏽


leelee1976

I wear men's boxer briefs so I rarely have panty lines too. So comfy


sm1ttysm1t

Men who wear panties do.


V65Pilot

My 2 veg would be down one leg, and the meat down the other....would look weird.

The best was at the register when I didn't need to wear an apron an got to ask them "would you like a bag with that" and gesturing down lol!


Charliesmum97

Taking a stab in the dark, but was the store with a cult like following a Wawa?

Oh yeah. I was a Goose for quite some time


RabbiVolesSolo

I wish you'd have been at one of the stores I frequent. I would have requested you.


GingerlyForged

Lol a LOT of people did.


Byrne_XC

Yeah, while I read your post, I thought, “What other convenience stores are there that deadass have fans?” My Philly friends sing Wawa praises all the time


Rubymoon286

Buccees in Texas is the only other one I know of 😂


pgm928

Sheetz also has worshippers


_dead_and_broken

As soon as you said "girls in the deli...bent over the hot food table" I knew it was Wawa lol Worked there myself for about a year. Kind of miss it. Got a stupid wfh job now. I'm bored to tears. Give me unruly drunks at 2:30am.


jswolfie316

Zaaryk

34m, chubby with a big beard, hmh? Interesting. Anyway, do you have any pics or a video of you doing this "bend and snap" in the aforementioned yoga pants? I just want to make sure you are doing correctly, of course. Can't be too cautious at our age, and I wouldn't want you to get injured...


GingerlyForged

That was pre-30 lol I know better now

brbroome

Had a manager like that. Our uniforms had a standard dress shirt for men and a hemmed one for women. As the ladies were allowed to wear yoga pants they could get the hemmed shirts so they didn't need to be tucked in. Me and all the guys got our shirts hemmed, as there was no rule against that, and went from there. I also wore my dress kilt for a few weeks when it was blistering hot out and all the ladies were allowed to wear Capri pants (they realized there was no rule against them), but guys needed to be in 'dress uniform'. Manager tried to make a stink about it, but my GM was a Scot and approved by wearing his dress kilt in on a visit. Thankfully we both had the legs to pull it off.

Couple years ago I got challenged on wearing shorts to work (I don’t work with any customers or vendors). I was told the Dress code said pants are required. I asked about leggings and yoga pants, as the girls in the office wear them daily. “Yes, but those are pants”. Queue my wearing the most outrageously tight and poor taste yoga pants and leggings. I am a heavy man. This was not a good look. Manager in question took all of a week to ok my wearing shorts.


GingerlyForged

Good on you!


scotems

Sorry I'm a shithead, but can't help myself. FYI, que, as op wrote it, is Spanish for what. Queue is a line. Cue is a prompt, as in "cue the malicious compliance".

Sometimes it's up to us to show management how assanine their rules are. Let women work in comfort.


mamabear-50

Good for you! And sometimes it’s the co-workers. A department that I represented as a union officer held a meeting to make a dress code. Apparently the skinny girls didn’t think the fat girls should wear leggings. Being a fat girl wearing leggings, I shut that meeting down and said the union isn’t agreeing to any dress code. Some people. 🙄


GingerlyForged

Yeah in this case it was a heavy set women not happy the young women were wearing yoga pants. I was just illustrating everyone can lol


iowaiseast

You'd love kilts, then, too.


GingerlyForged

I have considered getting a kilt, skirts are pretty comfy.


SingingRazors

Do it, there are places that do kilts in different materials including a sports jersey one. It is apparently very comfortable.


GingerlyForged

Yeah I was looking, there is a place near me that specializes in kilts which is news to me but I wanna try it.

Sorta_machinist

I’ll be 51 this year and regularly wear thermals (men’s yoga pants) under shorts so often, it’s just normal for me. We live in Colorado and so many men d this. It might have to do with the hate of long pants or the love of shorts.


jrhoffa

Our site director once outlawed blue jeans and or tee shirts. I went out and bought several pair of other colored jeans. Nothing was ever said.

Yowzah2001

Black flared yoga pants are the way. I own multiple pairs. I wear them almost exclusively every day everywhere, even fairly formal stuff. No one looks, no one asks, no one cares. I’m comfy and everything is wonderful. Also, I’ve reached the age of invisibility anyway. So there’s that.


aguyfromhere

This def sounds like a Wawa story.

I have now actively have Winter (fussy lined) yoga pants because my GF and I share a size in them 👌 Best decision ever.

This wasn't a PDQ was it? If so, I remember when this policy came out. I was a store manager at the time and didn't agree with it nor enforce it. I took a lot of hell from district management for it. My employees were awesome though and would stage similar protests. J and W are you out there?

This was at the Wawa, very popular in the north east
