Underwire? Sports? Pushup? Half cup?

Since you asked
Full coverage. Nothing should show through ones clothes, especially lacy, frilly bits or ones own...ummm.. bits. It should match the color of ones top. If one is wearing a sheer top, then a camisole is required, which should also match the color of ones top.
A suggestion of cleavage is okay. Showing actual cleavage is not.
And dont even get me started on panty lines, panty hose and what to do with open-toed shoes.
And you guys bitch about ties. Sheesh.

Pah.
A rough wardrobe day here is one on which I actually have to bust out the iron because the shirt I want to wear with my jeans has been rolled up in a basket for a week.
I wore suits for the first 4 years of my professional career. Never again.

You iron?
If I buy something for anyone in this house that needs to be ironed, it is worn once and never worn again. It sits in the ironing pile until it goes out of style or until someone outgrows it.
I dont have the time or the patience to stand over an ironing board. This is probably a reaction to watching my mother obessively iron everything in our house while growing up- including underwear and jeans. Nothing like going to school with a nice crease in your panties and jeans. Thanks a lot, Mom.

Every (work) day.
I guess this means I'm different and strange, but so be it :)
Ironing doesn't bother me, I just do one business shirt each morning for work. I don't know how people can work through baskets of ironing for hours though - that'd do my head in.
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

But it doesn't do creases
I usually iron my pants, but mostly wear polo shirts that don't need ironing. Like Bill, ironing one piece of cloting a day doesn't bother me.
Actually, I do most of the ironing in our house. If we're going out somewhere nice my wife will ask me to iron her outfit. I figure if she's washing stuff every day, I can iron once in a while.

I don't mind ironing a basketful.
I used to do that about once a week before I got married. Used the time to catch up on videos I recorded, mostly Dr. Who. Nowadays, neither of us just has the time. Besides, it doesn't do my wife's back any good, which is why she avoids it. So we're paying someone to iron, for the moment.

Panty lines? Isn't that a reason for thongs?
OK, maybe it's much easier to dress if you're a man. Even when "big" events come up, like what to wear to a good friend's wedding next week (at least I'm not in the wedding party, nor is my wife -- then it'd get expensive).
Of course, there was the former male cow-orker who seemed to have about twenty pairs of tennis shoes of the same style, in different colors - maybe even pink.

I'll ask
my wife, but IIRC she only wears them for concerts, but even then only if it is a really big one.
I'm happy to say she rarely wears high heels.
But what's up with a lot of women wearing flip flops? Isn't a shoe that falls off easily kind of difficult to wear for eight hours?

Preferred by CIEIOS everywhere -

Why can't a woman be more like a man!?
{sung impetuously}
Seriously, folks - a biz suit (male or female) is meant to stuff a healthy multi-mobile human body into a constricted {try moving arms over your head} hierarchical Fashion-statement / {Ugh.. Power-Ties!} Uniform.
That there is so little of that vaunted 'democracy' thing in choices of attire, surely is consistent with the rest of the homogenization. Men and women can look just Fine in a huge variety of coverings - you just couldn't tell so easily what the salaries are (if never quite.. who has the smarts that should go with the $$.)
But WTF - Windows is still popular, no matter how often it breaks and what that costs; so much for the prospects of change in other rote office-habits.
