    Professional for office/administrative staff and scrubs for clinical staff. I think a lot of people get professional and skank ho attire confused though!

    It's called "business casual" but the women I work with are young, hip and creative and that is expressed in their clothing.
    For example, the day I met my supervisor, she was wearing red pants, leopard print heels and a white blazer.
    It's pretty awesome. You can be edgy and chic in your choices. One place I worked at only allowed black & white clothing, when I left that job I threw out my black clothing and didn't wear any black for a year lol.

    Casual, and I love it! :happy:
    I wore jeans and a hoodie with flip flops the other day. (I work at a translation agency so our clients rarely see us). It's so much easier to focus on work when I'm comfortable.

    Wearing clothes that belong at a club to work. The clothes themselves are just fine, but definitely not appropriate for work. If your skirt is only 2" past your butt, you should not be wearing it at work. It's less about the clothes and more about the time and place.

    It is supposed to be business casual which means for us anything not trackpants or yoga pants but jeans and t-shirts are okay. I think we just get away with almost anything goes. On days bigwigs are coming by we get warned to "dress for success" and can't wear jeans and t-shirts.

    Casual. Pretty much our only rules are no sweat pants/work out pants and if you wear flip flops then you must walk quietly in them.

    "business casual"... I wear heels most days, no open toe shoes, no tennis shoes, dress slacks, nice tops, blazers.
    Suits for days I meet clients.
    Fridays we are allowed to wear jeans because its our busy day and usually no one comes in the office.

    I like it. It's way more relaxed than my last job, and there NO one saw you except fellow co-workers.

    Business casual. It's actually quite relaxed, I wear dark jeans a lot with a dressier top, or a blazer. I only wear heels when I feel like it.

    Our official dress code is business casual and just casual on Fridays. But I like to dress up. I hate wearing pants. I wear pencil skirts or dresses most days. On Fridays, I wear a more casual skirt, and sometimes I wear jeans. Always heels. I'm only 5 feet tall.

    I work in an inbound customer service call center, so we're very casual since no one sees us. However, no flip flops (safety thing/part of our insurance requirements) and no shorts because people can't figure out to keep their @ss covered. I'd say most people do jeans/tshirts every day.

    It's our business so we can wear whatever we like but we do try to dress well and be nicely put together and save the casual clothes for the weekend.

    Casual - I wear jeans just about everyday. But there are rules like no holes in your jeans, no flip flops, no tank tops, tube tops, shorts, too tight or too short clothes, and the like. Some people dress business-casual or professional everyday because they want to and there are also certain positions/departments that have to.

    But when we have client visits or VP visits, we have to dress in business-casual. (no jeans, no sneakers) - which is actually next week!
