I work in finance (in the midwest), and for some reason, all of the offices I've worked in seem to be kept at an unreasonably low temp, like 68F or lower year-round. That would be fine if I was active, but I'm sitting at a computer from 830a-500p. I've routinely been cold enough to start shivering or to lose dexterity in my hands as they stiffen from the cold.

I can't wear sweatshirts at my current job, but used to at my 3 previous jobs. Now, it's a button down shirt and either a sweater or vest. Ive plenty of both, but none corporate branded.

Vests are nice in that they can easily be removed and put back on.

Most of my sweaters are partial zip. I can't easily remove one without my shirt and undershirt coming with it (I'm a guy, but I still think its rude to go flashing my bare chest & back in an office).
