Forum Topic here got me thinking....What do most Innkeepers wear daily ?

What do most Innkeeper wear on a daily basis ? As for me being Innkeeper, maid, gardener, unhandyman(person),decorator, seamstress, chef, laundress etc etc. Its black jeans or dark blue, a top with sleeves, athletic shoes. No pearls except in my ears.

My answer is seasonal.
Right now it is 80 degrees out, and I have a nice sleeveless blouse (not a tank top) and black pair of shorts, earlier I was wearing a skirt with said blouse.
Winter time I am happy to wear levi's and a nice blouse when guests are checking in or here.
Never a tshirt. Never track pants. Never too casual or too dressy.

Shorts in the summer, long pants in the winter. T-shirt in the summer, long sleeves in the winter. Basically, whatever I feel like wearing.

pretty much the same here, except I do put on a proper shirt in the mornings and then as soon as everyone has checked out I throw it off and put a comfortable t-shirt on.
Sometimes people arrive when I'm gardening so I'm wearing tatty jeans and a scruffy t-shirt, I do usually say sorry for my appearance but......

Casual slacks and top. Nice jeans / casual shirt. No t tops.

Slacks and shirt. My legs are far too scary to wear shorts any more. Same for sleeveless blouses.

Between varicose veins and stretch marks shorts will never be seen on this body and I must always cage the flying squirrels - NEVER sleeveless!!
If guests are coming or are in-house, I wear a logo polo shirt and (jeans type) slacks of whatever color. Just around town usually a blouse but sometimes a t-shirt. I like my Chicago Police Dept Bed & Breakfast t-shirt.

Depends on how many rooms I have to clean. If it's a bunch of fluffs I'll wear a skirt and top. Generally the same shoes no matter. Mostly Mary Jane style. If there are a lot of rooms I'll wear jeans or khakis and a top to suit the weather. (Generally while cleaning rooms, but only if the guests are gone, I wear a tank top which is under whatever other top I have on.)

Yeah, that's how I feel. So never sleeveless tops unless everyone is gone. Generally cropped pants in the summer.

I know I've read posts on here where aprons are worn. So, are aprons of some sort worn only when dealing with breakfast? Or, are there other times they are worn? Does anyone consistently wear logo'd attire?

I have a really cute apron I just got so I now wear that at breakfast only. First time since we've been here that I have an apron. No logo stuff. We have never gotten around to it.

I have logo'ed shirts and bib aprons. Also lunch bags. I wear my aprons with the logo filling the bib part for breakfasts and often when going around town and even shopping in the city south of us. I wear them at Tourism Day and special events that involve the B & B. It is my - crap, cannot think of the word. But it lets everyone know Gillum House. I have magnetic signs on my car with my logo and phone number. My aprons have pockets across the front - perfect for slipping in the checkbook and keys so no purse needed.

We wear logo'd aprons during breakfast only.

I wear comfortable pants (jeans mostly) and seasonal style shirts.
To me it is not only for ME to be comfortable as I multi-task, it is to set a tone for guests to know they can be laid back and comfortable as well.

We didn't think "logo", but when we opened, a neighbor gave us two blue denim aprons made up embroidered with our inn name and logotype. They turned out to be very practical and the style is masculine enough for me to use - I do the breakfast. We bought two more to have some in the laundry cycle.
