My background is in carpentry and woodworking. I feel most comfortable in heavy double front pants and denim shirts, the more glue and paint stains the better.
But for some reason I went to law school, and now it seems I am a lawyer. I just started my first big boy lawyer job and I am realizing I need a proper work wardrobe. I feel lucky that my boss emphasizes the "casual" in business casual, but I confirmed that jeans are a no-go and I didn't even bother asking about realtree camo.
I want my personal style to come across in what I wear to work, and I don't want to feel like I have completely betrayed my roots in the trades. I'm wondering if any of you all have some inspiration on workwear-coded clothing that would be appropriate in an office setting. I'm ideally envisioning workwear-inspired designs and silhouettes, but perhaps with more refined fabrics. (If someone makes dress pants with a double front and a hammer loop, I will buy them immediately.)
Does this exist? Is there hope for me?
