[quote=Anonymous]Make friends with the marketing person and get the apparel logo in digital form. Order something vaguely similar that fits you better—e.g., keep, the same color scheme, but order a cardigan, shirt, or other garment that you can stand to wear. Lands End has some acceptable button cardigans with pockets (great for phone and business cards for example) and they can handle the logo no problem. Some of my colleagues have gone the under armor athleisure zipper jacket route for more casual conferences.

If you are fortunate enough to have a female contact in marketing, she might go further and help you find an alternate that looks better that becomes an option for any female staff member. Typically then the company still pays.

I agree that if you only have to wear this once it is probably best to suck it up, but if it happens regularly it’s worth being creative.

Another option is appealing to a female manager who is in a similar predicament to help.

Worst case ask if full on business attire is an acceptable alternative.

I have been successful with this strategy many times, starting with the hideous logoed vests that made any female who weighed more than 90 lbs look like a barrel with legs. Keep in mind that you are not alone in your desire for a more acceptable alternative.[/quote]
