Quick question to working moms

[Anonymous]

When you do mom related stuff like dropping off your child or attending events, do you present as if your at work ( or casual classy ) or do you dress down like a SAHM (athletic wear) might?

This is a serious question!

I just wear whatever I'm wearing that day. If I am going to the office, then I dress as though I am going to work in an office (because I am). If I am working from home I just wear whatever I am most comfortable in (e.g. shorts and a tee shirt)

Has everything to do with where im coming from or going. If I'm on my way to work I'm dressed for work. I don't change clothes purposely for anything. Although I do put minimal effort, so if I'm wfh or off for the day I still get casually dressed.

I wear dresses everyday so that’s what I wear. I don’t wear workout clothes/yoga pants in public unless I’m going to the gym or yoga.

I bike my kids in a cargo bike, so I'm often in athletic wear then shower and change for work. I ran into a fellow parent at a work-related conference and he had no clue who I was in my business suit with hair and make-up done.

I don't have time to change so I just wear whatever is going on that day. I keep a pair of sneakers in my car so I can run around with them

I've done both. I think I default to wearing professional clothes because it's just how I'm more comfortable. I dress down a bit when I do field trips or weekend events at the school, and will wear jeans or a sundress if it's hot. But I don't wear athleisure, it's just not my think. I wear workout clothes to workout and that's it.

Whatever I need to based on where I am going or coming from.

I have never thought about this. My kids are 22 and 18 so I’m finishing that period in my life. I dress for what I’ve been doing/coming from/going to. Sometimes that’s office work clothes (black dress, blazer, heels) or WFH clothes (jeans, tank, hoodie). If I took PTO then similar to WFH with sneakers.

I came from work to school, and wasn't going to change clothes on the train during rush hour, so work clothes it is!

[Anonymous]

I wear scrubs and a white coat at work. I don’t wear them in public because they’re gross.
I wear yoga pants or jeans to go to my kids school.

If I'm dropping kids off in the morning then I wear my work clothes because I go straight to work. If its something like a class event in the middle of the day that I had to take off the entire day for, then I just wear casual wear.

[Anonymous]

lol are you afraid if you wear casual clothing that people will think you don’t work?

This is the basis of OP’s question. Judgmental in and of itself. M

During the week it's work clothes (but I don't wear suits). On weekends it's whatever I'm wearing. But for things like weekend school I dress up as that's culturally appropriate and respectful/expected for us. I also don't wear athlete outside of actual going to work out etc.

This. I've shown up both ways and it all depends on what it coming immediately after drop off.
