White collar. As usual, practically every job, I was expected to wear a tie, dress shirt, jacket, good slacks, for years (I still have about 10-15 khakis from that era…and they still fit!). And actually had a job for a few years where everyone had to wear a WHITE shirt and tie every day…and night…and weekends. It was shift work, for a job that was 7 day/24 hour rotating week. Eventually they went to casual clothes late night and on weekends. This was only a very slightly ‘on display’ job as we worked in a large cavernous darkened room. Eventually, after I left it slowly got a lot more casual (see ‘Pushing Tin’) .
Definitely blue collar, steelworker for 32 years.
Hi Kelli

Since everyone else is putting their proffesion I’ll follow suit here. I’m a pipefitter. Work around a lot of very rough men on a daily basis. I noticed that a lot of you are in what I call heavy trades and I know most of you are surrounded by rough men also. Hell I am one of the rough ones.This turned out to be an interesting topic.
Dirty blue collar in a heavy trade.
Self employed which has been one of the greatest rewards of my life
i guess i have 2 collars. i own my own business for over 30 years and still going. i do all the buying and selling, plus moving. i like my job. no one tells me what to do. i guess i wear both collars. mostly blue though. i hate suites and dont own one, but let me tell you about my dresses.
Hi Kelli,
Thanks for the neat question. Another cool way to get to know our awesome ladies. I’m always struck by the diversity of our group. And, of course, that one thing we all share in common.
For me, it’s both. Still working and wishing for retirement. I’ve been at the same company for 31+ years. Blue collar as a field technician for the first decade. White collar from there, in various roles in sales, IT, sales support, supply chain, ops support (Jill of all trades, master of none).
Luv, Cindy
Hi Kelli, great question, I really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. I started out in blue collar back in the early 1970s (as a factory worker, mail delivery and then in grounds landscaping/maintenance). Been white collar ever since; from a junior office worker, I rose up through the ranks to CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation with a thousand employees. Retired four years ago and loving life. Stay safe, stay healthy, All the Best, Hugs, Krista.
can’t label me (not for the first time🤣) or what about no collar, I’m a nurse, just shapeless green scrubs at the moment😢

To all the medical staff wherever you are working at this moment…thank you xx
Hi Kelli………….Blue Collar for me…………..loading boxes onto a belt , fetching boxes for customers…………getting a verbal dressing down from customers for “lousy service” ( I get blamed for a chain of goof ups so they vent on me)……..it’s all good, considering my life circumstances and the pay / benefits…..I am grateful for the job. Plus, wearing uniform shorts and my pony tail makes me feel like a girl in guy clothes. Once had a co-worker that would purposely leave the heavy and big stuff for little me. He was an A-hole cave man type and politicly well set. I would quietly use physics and leveraging to get it done without much added effort. Love figuring things out and being creative. You know what they say about “Man-Hours of Work”? A woman can do the same task in 20 minutes!!! giggles……………karley
43 years as a mechanical engineer, but retired now, so in theory that would indicate white collar. However the reality is that I have often been in hot factories doing floor measurements for locating machinery for installation or in near 100F weather directing crews to unload containers of machinery and move it into a building or starting up and debugging machinery. It isn’t all office work.
When I was working in Taiwan, the weather (except for winter) is often in the 95F to 98F range with VERY high humidity. To put that into perspective, the Heat Index for those conditions is the same as here in the desert for around 118F with single digit humidity. I would tell newcomers that after you walked from the parking lot to our construction building, your morning shower is history…
I worked part of my way through college loading trucks with 98# bags of cement. The Army green for four years. Then until I got riffed because of COVID-19 I was in various IT jobs mostly network for the next 40+ years. Last with a large car rental company for 20 of those years. So now I am retired not by choice.
I’m one of the ‘white collar’ crowd. I’m an Exec. assistant at Deloitte.
Thanks!
White collar, for sure. Didn’t want dirt under my nails. As for TMI, it’s always nice to know what we have on. As I write this, I have on lavender colored high cut panties with ivory polka dots, nude stw pantyhose and a very pretty ivory camisole. I feel great underneath and rest assured, I can’t fix it.

Long since retired, but during my working years, my collar was Air Force blue or BDU; and later, so was my EMT collar. But today, I think pink.

…And my thanks to you, also, TJ. When we were under MAC, I also wore my Medic whites, or Dress Blues; but later, under TAC (later ACC) it was BDU (camo for civilians) until I retired.
It was a good life, and I still dream about it, sometimes.Hugs,
Bettylou
White collar I guess. It’s more jeans and tee-shirt. 10 years community mental health. As a note, I’m still very new into the online cross dressing./transgendered community. It’s nice to see a confirmation of the diversity of people.

I’m white collar, I’m a lawyer. I love white underwear.
Retired now but doing some part time blue collar work now and then. Was Marine Corps dress blues then a white collar career. Gulf War vet. I know there are some other vets on here so let me say that you for your services and welcome home ❤️
Kelly… i have worked in so many different categories.,.. its hard to tell! I would say white with a blue tinge… just like someone threw in a coloured shirt into the laundry!
I’m me and my work does not define me. I am an educated, well-mannered, well read person that can level a floor, solve an equation, fix an IT problem, design a logo, mend a fuse, sort of person.
In my country it goes like this… Run, Jump, Fight and F**k… Wheel a barrow and drive a truck!In the UK one cou;d also say… Jack of all trades, master of none!
Blue collar… White collar… the crimes are measured in Billions not Thousands!!!
Which crime do you profess to..? xxx Polly
Academia / computing for me, although I did ‘help’ to build a couple of motorways early on.
I never did get on with collars and ties! Early signs.
I was white collar for 20 years and got burnt out. Spent the next 25 as blue collar. No management issues. Much happier.
I would consider myself as wearing a light blue collar.
I previously worked is sales/management for a major tree contractor. Currently work in the public sector as a consultant and independent review professional. It sounds white collar, but there is a lot of field work involved!

White collar for many years now. Had my share of blue collar jobs early on my younger years.
Blue collar . Love what I do but I envy some of y’all who can work from home and dress all the time… my male work attire includes steel toe boots and hard hats .
It’s always been a dream of mine to work in an office or attend a business meeting wearing a pencil skirt with a blouse and high heels lol. Duality in life is what’s fun about crossdressing.
