All bodies are different and not all brands work for everyone. The key is to find a brand that works for your body. I think a well fit piece of clothing is much more important than brands. A good tailor can also help to shorten arms of shirts (pretty cheaply), if that is something you are running into. That can be a problem for some butches, regardless of brand.

Okay advice, I might be working in an office environment, I have NO clue on how to really dress for that.

I don't wear suits so that's out, so would khakis and dress pants with nice shirts work?

Is there any way to scope it out ahead of time? Walk through the building maybe? Seeing what others are wearing would help. On a first day I'd rather be a little more dressed than under dressed. Your plan sounds pretty good for most offices (I don't know what kind of business you're waking into).

Do you have anything like a sport jacket you can show up in and then just take off if it's too much?

No, no walk through on this job and I don't own a suit or anything like that.

It's a county job, I got the dress code but it was kind of vague. So I think it's going to be one of those you show up and they will tell ya what you can and can't wear.

I think you'll be just fine.

For a future closet item, it doesn't need to be a suit, I never wear those, but look around local thrift stores. I've found great sport jackets for dirt cheap, which is good because I always have to shorten the sleeves a bit, about $20. Anyway, a jacket like that can add to khakis and a button up without being stuffy. It's a nice option to have around sometimes, looks good with jeans and boots too.

Good luck on the job.
