What to wear on your first day while waiting for uniform

Post by smileyjoe30 »

I have seen on a thread on here about what to wear on there first day but it will be interesting to know what people wore on there first day before there uniform came? What’s the best footwear etc? Trousers ?Also I have heard different things about how you order the uniform some have it there by there first day some have to wait a bit? Just don’t want to go out and spend a fortune on new things if there’s not a long wait etc.

I wore a tracksuit and trainers but you need plenty of pockets. You just need a payroll number to order uniform. Shouldn't have to wait long though

Yes sound. Pockets and comfort is important
