my manager has shown up wearing pants like this so if your store is lenient you should be fine hopefully
Delicious-Message-47 76 points 7m ago
Bring a back up pair and if someone says something just say you weren’t sure and you wanted to see if it was gonna be accepted or not so you brought a second pair incase it wasn’t okay. They will appreciate your willingness to change asap and will see that you are responsible and think ahead. Sounds corny but seriously :)
Delicious-Message-47 14 points 7m ago
But tbh I think you’ll be fine! One of our strictest ASM’s wears pants like these on the reg :)
haleslyons 69 points 7m ago
Unsure, but imma need you to share where you got these 👀👀
egirlpiss [OP] 51 points 7m ago
i got them at a local thrift store!! the label says “white house black market”(:
haleslyons 16 points 7m ago
Dude you scored! I’m looking if it’s on their website and everything is like $90+
egirlpiss [OP] 7 points 7m ago
HOLY SHIT LMAO I GOT THESE FOE $14 nice ….
foreverrandom11 2 points 7m ago
i know american eagle had a pair similar to these a couple years back, they might have some.
sixsmallsheep 5 points 7m ago
if you cant find them from the OP's comment you can always try r/findfashion
trbpanda 38 points 7m ago
just wear it to work until someone says something 🤷‍♀️ if they're lenient at work they probably won't send you home they'll just tell you not to wear them again
grungelover03 13 points 7m ago
I say they’re fine, I wear these blue and white gingham pants all the time and no one has told me anything. My SM once said that he loved those and my other green plaid pants, so if it’s a lenient store then I think you’re good!

Fuck it we ball
egirlpiss [OP] 8 points 7m ago
and yes i know that it says “solid colored” for all bottoms): but i’ve seen the girls at my store wear colorful jackets/sweaters. i guess i could ask my sm but i don’t work until tuesday n i’d hate to have to change at work. i might just not even bother
tivcx 13 points 7m ago
You can show your SM this picture instead of showing up to work wearing it
egirlpiss [OP] 6 points 7m ago
i guess ur right haha i just thought that’d it’d be weird bc he’s some old guy
Wanderer1521 18 points 7m ago
You could take a picture of them when you're not wearing them. That'd probably be less weird 🤷
siestasierra 6 points 7m ago
new dress code says you can wear any color tops :)
Intelligent-Hunt-906 3 points 7m ago
I believe that’s for (tops:shirts) only as for sweaters/ sweatshirts I think it still applies solid in color no company logos and apron must show….. :)
siestasierra 3 points 7m ago
i don’t think top only means shirts? what would “shirts” even cover? just like t shirts? at my store we are def allowing any tops (which i would use to describe any piece of clothing covering the top half of your body)
Intelligent-Hunt-906 1 points 7m ago
Glad that works for you!
Shoddy-Trainer-8051 6 points 7m ago
Likely too much. I got a heads up for wearing very dark plaid
BabyH1ppo 4 points 7m ago
I think they are fine? I'm my stores dress code enforcer most of the time and I'm like 80% sure you're good. Plus they are super cute so 🤷
allsongsconsideredd 4 points 7m ago
15 days you posted that you quit. Back already?
egirlpiss [OP] 25 points 7m ago
yep! my licensed store was dogshit. our manager was extremely toxic and the safeway i worked at was even worse. they docked my pay pretty hard and refused to make me an asm even though they kept using it as leverage over me ..

this corporate store i’m at is much nicer. its the busiest one in my district but its got a pleasant environment and theres a lot more transparency here
allsongsconsideredd 6 points 7m ago
Good for you!
Peace2Theaworld 4 points 7m ago
My store really doesn't care about dress code. Someone where's almost the exact same thing you are wearing every night but then again, she doesn't work with the manager.
sh3nan1gans_ 3 points 7m ago
Technically pants have to be solid from what my manager told me. I wore plaid plants thinking it was okay for the longest and then she told me no cuz our DM is a little stricter. But I say wear them until you’re told not to
psionicillusionist 3 points 7m ago
Bring a backup pair of pants but tbh go for it.
Certain_Ad8766 2 points 7m ago
Ayo what boots are those and do they do well for work?? 👁👁
egirlpiss [OP] 2 points 7m ago
doc martens chelsea boots !! they are my go to for work, i put insoles in them so they are my comfiest pair of shoes. i can literally wipe whatever gets on them off with a baby wipe and they look good as new. when i wore sneakers i had this problem of hot things spilling on my feet n soaking in . these do Not have that problem(: they were a little expensive but very worth it
agigante02 2 points 7m ago
id wear it they look adorable! just bring a back-up pair of pants incase they're not approved by your SM:)
hal-pal- 2 points 7m ago
Maybe it's not dress code, but I wouldn't say anything if you were in my storel. Imo, if you are not wearing a shirt with a logo or bright colors, I say/see nothing lol (SSV)
nanobyte55 2 points 7m ago
Dress Code explicitly states bottoms must be a solid colour. At least in Canada.
rlogranite 2 points 7m ago
It's perfect!!
Foucaults_Boner 2 points 7m ago
They’re so cute, I’d be afraid of spilling coffee on them 😂
diphenhydranautical 2 points 7m ago
i push dress code a lot, but if they tell me to change i try my best to accommodate

but mostly came to say they are SUPER CUTE especially with those boots!!
paintthatface 2 points 7m ago
What shoes are these ?!
egirlpiss [OP] 3 points 7m ago

Gingerzygote 2 points 7m ago
i used to have a pretty strict sm and she often wore a jumpsuit thingy with almost this exact pattern. u should be good!
lily-amber 2 points 7m ago
I would wear them. I wear a striped skirt all the time and no shift, manager, or DM has ever had an issue.
tevansalim 1 points 7m ago
my store manager wears booty shorts 🧍🏽‍♂️
JibJab1994 1 points 7m ago
I’ve worn similar pants without issue.
sammieduck69420 1 points 7m ago
I love them! And with an apron, being behind the counter and a lenient store I say go for it! Especially if you enjoy wearing them. My SM very much loves fun socks and even shirts (as long as we stay presentable and professional) cuz she recognises it boosts our morale and she would much rather work with us in a good mood with fun clothing than deal with redundant dress coding
ddebdesdemonaa 1 points 7m ago
I wear black pants with stripes and blue jeans with white stripes. Never been told anything. My manager wears dark blue overalls with stripes so I think it’s okay. It just depends really on your store.

does your store let you wear floral print 👀
egirlpiss [OP] 1 points 7m ago
nobody there has ever worn floral so idk! but a lot of them wear band shirts and things of that nature
Last_Employment_1730 1 points 7m ago
floral print is my signature thing and when i wore a dress with flowers on it to my interview, my store manager said i couldn't wear the print when working 😭 but my SIL has worked at 2 stores that let her wear it
Persnickety-sass1015 1 points 7m ago
I wore very similar pants and was told to go home and change.
Euphoric_Ad1240 1 points 7m ago
I’ve always heard pants have to be solid and can’t be white. BUT, every store is different. Ever Shift, SM, and DM is different. I’d bring a backup but most likely they’d just let it go for the day and say don’t wear them again 😊
TheHeroOfTime24 1 points 7m ago
It should be fine. 99% sure
