skirts at work (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by funeralkiss
have any of y’all worn skirts to work? i’m not a huge fan of pants and it’s getting warm where i live so i want to try wearing a skirt but they don’t offer a lot of freedom to move. i’m constantly bending over behind the bar, reaching up, and sometimes i have to reach my entire upper body out of the drive thru window to give people drinks. i was thinking a maybe a maxi skirt could work?

I've worn a maxi skirt to work a couple times, it gives you a lot more range of movement and overall less restriction, especially on bar. I don't think I'd ever wear anything that didn't cover the entirety of my legs, though.

A friend of mine calls maxi skits crotchless yoga pants
AIchemiIIa 22 points 1y ago
Yes I've worn them a few times! They're super comfy, way better than jeans/pants. I like to wear "potato sack" maxi dresses as well. They get a little dirty for sure but I just make sure they aren't anything I care about much.

I still make sure I wear spandex shorts underneath too, just in case lol

Some coworkers and I have done dresses and skirts. We just wear leggings underneath, but it nice.

I've worn long skirts with a Tshirt and I also have dresses that I got just for working at sbux. The dresses are above knee length so I wear workout shorts under them for when I bend over.

In the summer I often wear tshirt dresses with bike shorts underneath!!! Super comfy
Sea_Veterinarian_8 4 points 1y ago
Second this. The discovery of bike shorts has literally changed my life. I wear them under shorter skirts too so I don’t have to be all that mindful of flashing anyone.
Solid_Wish 4 points 1y ago
I too hate pants and only wear skirts to work. I wear opaque tights that are about bike shorts length underneath so I don't worry about flashing anyone as i go about my tasks.

I wear midi skirts and dresses! I worry that maxi skirts will be easy to trip over when crouching to get milks, so the midi length is perfect. I always get compliments for being “dressed up” too so that’s extra nice.

My friend, the solution is culottes.

Where does everyone get their work skirts/dresses?
Snarfungus 1 points 1y ago
i wear regular medium/short skirts with leggings or tights under so i don’t have to worry about it!

Don’t we have to wear tights with skirts???
PartlyCloudyKid 1 points 1y ago
What shoes do you all pair with them, though?? My feet kill me enough in my sneaks, I couldn't imagine flats 🥴

I live in skirts. I usually wear midi skirts with an a-line or gathered silhouette for work, and can do anything in them. My only advice is when crouching I kinda tuck it between the back of my legs so it doesn’t hit the floor on longer skirts. It becomes habit after while. I wear tights, since I never shave and I like the coverage, but slips also are wonderful if your worried about anything flying up. But that doesn’t generally happy if your skirts long enough, which it should be with dress code requirements.

I wear skorts year round (MN). My favorites have been the 32 Below brand from Costco; generally you can find nice skorts in an athletic section of a dept store. Comfy and they have pockets.

I have some Uniqlo dresses that are knee length, lightweight, and great for work. I usually wear tights or shorts underneath. They don’t have the ones I have anymore but they usually have lots of options that work with our dress code.

someone i work with does often, it’s a long skirt though, like mid calf length

Yes! With small comfy shorts underneath

Something long is definitely the way to do it. I wear a kilt sometimes, and the length is just right to not show things I don't want to show when I bend down.
