I moved recently to an area that gets a lot hotter than where I came from, and I have a roughly half hour commute on a public train that gets really hot even when the weather outside in milder.
I bought a bunch of work clothes before the move, but they were basically fit for my old job, which was more formal. All of my work-appropriate clothes are dry-clean only, and I don't wear suits but they're definitely more formal pants.
I want to get some new clothes, and least pants, for two reasons:
1) I look kind of goofy in my office because everyone else is dressed less formally. I'm a data analyst and I dress closer to our salespeople who are out interacting with clients than to everyone else on my team.
2) I used to wear my clothes about three times before having them dry-cleaned, and that's definitely not going to fly any more. I'm sweating so much (it was over 90 Fahrenheit on the way home today and summer hasn't even properly started) that I'm pretty hesitant to wear clothes even twice before cleaning them. And I've always worn an undershirt, but now I'm kind of split, wearing one might get me another wear out of my shirts but going without would make the ride and walk home a lot more comfortable.
Clothes aren't really something I ever think about. What kind of casual office clothes can I get that are work appropriate, machine washable, and will be cool in the summer?
Edit: Just noticed "work clothes for work" in the title, dammit.
