    i've never worn a blazer before, it's really out of my comfort zone.
    i had to go shopping last night for new clothes, i blew 400$ on 2 shirts, a blazer and 3 pants. yikes.

    Very Casual, jeans & sweatshirts or sweaters in the winter, capris & cute tops in the summer with sandals. Anytime I dress up my boss just assumes I have a lunch date:wink:

    Scrubs. We're non-clinical, but in a hospital, and I end up doing more IT-related stuff that I don't DARE do in a dress, or end up on the road making lab deliveries and whatnot, so we've kind of transitioned into the wearing of scrubs daily. On occasion I will be caught wearing a skirt and heels or a dress, but that is very rare.

    White shirt(that buttons to top with long sleeves)/Black bottoms
    however some people wear black jeans or super short skirts which i think just looks so unprofessional!
    I mean its only bar work but we're serving people that have are expecting professional which is why they pay extremely high club fees.

    I work in a warehouse doing recieving, so I do a lot of moving boxes but also administrative tasks.. I work with all men and 1 other woman who dresses like the latter. Literally. I am required to wear long pants every day and am supposed to wear safety tennis shoes but I only do it if I absolutely have to...I just wear my own tennis shoes. So along with jeans and tennis shoes, I cant really wear anything nice because I look out of place, plus I risk getting it dusty and dirty. People ask if I have an interview or something if I dress in anything nicer than a nice top and a cardigan. Honestly it kinda makes the femininity inside of me die a little each day. I would KILL someone to be able to wear a nice blouse, cute skirt and heels to work everyday.

    I think we have an official one but I don't know exactly what it is. I pretty much wear whatever I want, except I draw the line at exercise clothes, which is a shame because they are the most comfortable. A girl's gotta have at least one standard. They're not very good at enforcing things at my work.

    Casual to very casual... :laugh: The only limit is not comming dressed like going to the beach or to a strip club (to dance).
    Most of us have the `programmer` dress code: jeans and funny messages T-shirts. Well... sometimes the girls are a little more dressy, but nothing to spectacular (unless we have a date or something after work).

    A very broad version of 'business casual'. Basically anything except jeans Monday through Thursday. Capri's and flip flops are mine 'uniform' all summer long :bigsmile: Friday's we can wear jeans. Sweatshirts and tee shirts are ok as well as gym shoes on Fridays. It's a very relaxed atmosphere for a law firm

    We just changed from business casual (no jeans except Fridays) to professional casual (jeans--but no holes, nice shirts, no flip flops or tennis shoes)

    It's been a nice switch. No one sees me anyways since I do inside sales.

    Business Casual. I wear heels everyday and err on the side of professional in all of my clothing. I literally own one pair of jeans to my name.

    It is pretty casual (technology company). Heck, we can wear hats and flip flops now, not that I would want to go that far.

    I wear stuff like this, and vendor swag, most of the time.

    I mostly work at home so it's often pajamas, but I have to meet clients a couple times a week and those days I wear business casual.

    Mine's casual but has to be all black, which I hate. I'd rather it be more business like and all black, because at least then you can feel attractive and well put together.

    Black hoodies are depressing :frown:

    anything goes. work at a non-profit. you may see professional attire when we're visited by funders, but most days, workout pants, hoodies, sweaters, jeans, whatever you want. pretty nice not to have to have a work clothes' budget.'

    The men wear a uniform ( its a maintenance department) us office ladies pretty much I guess you could say business casual, although some days I wonder...............

    ETA: We could wear jeans every day if we want, and some do but I feel as Office Manager that"s not appropriate for me to do so, and I typically stick to Friday Jean Day.

    Technically "business casual," but for those of us code monkeys who have no front-facing customer job, it's more like casual. Jeans/sweatshirts/sneakers/shorts/flip flops/or dress up more if you want to. Probably not sweatpants, though, I do not believe I have ever seen that, and there are well over 1,000 people who work here.
