My uniform that I’ve developed (thank you Judi Rosen NY, Breaking Hearts and Burning Rubber et al for the stylish and functional dream clothes) really helps me maintain a vibe that I’m comfortable with. Plus, I’m commuting in NYC, so I always feel compelled to Look Good. Am I going out after work? Will I be seeing a cute crush at a regular spot? Gotta dress for all of it. Also, working in NYC is a lot like living here-I’m never less than half an hour away from home, so I always leave prepared for everything that might come my way. It’s funny to look back and remember that I used to wear long floral skirts to work-and also tight little ones! I was definitely going through a regrettable hippie phase when I lived upstate. How has your style changed since when you first started bartending? Ooof, yes! This used to be really huge when I was first bartending-I was at a dive bar where I could totally dress up in tight skirts and dresses and I remember once getting an $18-dollar tip on a $2-dollar beer because I “looked good in that dress.”īut I found myself being objectified no matter what I wore-whether I was in an oversized hoodie or a little dress-and a customer once threw Chex Mix at my ass when I was working in high-waisted denim shorts and an oversize men’s shirt. Has how you were dressed ever affected your tips or customer interactions in any way? Also, I always have to remind myself to find my hoops before I leave-I feel completely naked without them.

Most people would likely be surprised by how much energy goes into what looks like a basic black on black ensemble, but it’s important to me that I look put-together, that my outfit be comfortable and not distracting, that I feel confident about how I look. There are so many factors! I’m thinking about where I’m working, what my shift entails (do I have to pull mats that night? use bleach? how fast do I expect to be moving?), how I’m feeling (bloated? should I wear a bright shirt to distract from my low energy? etc) and how long I’m working - that always affects my footwear. Getting dressed for work is a constant balancing act. What do you think about when you’re getting dressed for work? For life? I think my customers mostly think the same-my regulars make fun of me when they see me in anything other than black. Utilitarian, New York, a little punk rock. How do you describe your overall style? How would your customers describe it? She works at Proletariat, As Is, and The Well.
