Setting: Small office, all women, professional, but mostly business casual. Jeans are allowed, but not encouraged. The women in my office NEVER wear skirts or dresses, heels, or make-up. Two of them wear jeans most of the time, and more casual shirts. The boss dresses nice, always professional, slacks, low heeled shoes, minimal jewelry, minimal make-up. Nobody does nail polish. We've all worked together for over 5 years now. The ladies upstairs are more in the public eye, and do wear dresses, make-up, nails done, etc. The guys in management upstairs wear shirt and tie every day. The non-management guys upstairs wear button down shirts or polo shirts, no ties. I am seen by everyone in the office while I'm outside to smoke, and a couple times a month when I have to go upstairs for something.
I want to slowly transition away from my more feminine clothing, so they get used to it slowly. I can layer, since I'm always cold in the office. I tend to wear a coat or jacket all day inside because the office is so cold. My lighter jacket and winter coat are fairly androgynous, but summer is coming. I think a man's jacket would be a bit too much at this point. But a men's sweater might work?
I have one pair of brown lace-up shoes that are passably masculine, and I love them, but I haven't been able to find a black shoe that works for me. I'm thinking I'll expand my search to slip-on styles, though I love the look of the oxford.
Aside from the really overweight woman, I have the biggest boobs in my office. The other 3 are all maybe an A cup (and I am profoundly jealous of them, lol) and approximately the same height and weight as me, which is 5'6" and up and thin.
I'm thinking to start wearing more button down long sleeves and long sleeved polos. I always push up or roll up the sleeves of my shirts, and gradually reduce the appearance of my more feminine, collarless, shirts.
Also, the overweight woman notices every single little change in my appearance and comments on it.
