This is a safe thread for Moms and Dads and anyone else who just wants to wear clothes for zoom meetings and regular stuff. I'm a man who is literally 40. Need clothing advice and I'm bringing that advice request here.

It's quarter zip season and I need more quarter zips to wear over regular work shirts. I have one Vinyard Vines one I really like but I don't want to be the dad with a whale on more than a couple articles of clothing. Also it was like $175 which is woof city. What is a good quarter zip for my needs?

Alright, for the last decade I have committed quite successfully to cargo shorts abstinence, and my life has improved.

My question is can I wear cargo joggers. I've got joggers on the mind and all the sexiest ones are cargo...

Can I wear?

Columbia, Nike, and Cutter & Buck are the majority of my personal quarter zips. My favorite full zip fleece is Columbia. I also sport a puffy vest from Charles River. I have a several Charles River items with our company logo on them - winter coat, puffy vest, and two quarter zip fleece.

Sitting in shorts with my full zip fleece today in WFH mode.

no, I either wear suits or jeans when I'm actually in the office. there is no business casual for me.

SD something to consider including in your quarter zip rotation...a really sporty one. like super thin stretchy material that hugs the body. They will be like "d*ng did SD just knock out a 5k jog before this meeting? Or perhaps he's going to go do that right after we hang up? man what an active lifestyle he leads!" but the key is only every once in a while, if you abuse the sporty QZ then everyone will think oh those are just pajamas for you

NOTE: this is not the same as those golf-y looking QZs, that's a completely different energy. Those are fine too but unless you are on a call with a bunch of bros who love hittin the links then you might come off as a bit snooty. You live in omaha not myrtle beach south carolina for cryin out loud

I got one of those sporty q-zips two years ago and it's easily the most fashionable thing I own. Good tips

steve dave · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2020, 09:13:28 AM »

also I should note that when I say quarter zip sometimes I'm talking about half zip. sometimes not. it's both the same.

going to hit the bar with the boys (from 4:00-5:30 because I need to get home for dinner with my lovely spouse and 2 children)

That reminded me that I have a sweet q zip sweater in the winter bin.
