    The "one and only" time I'm happy to be working for my husband. I'm in the office but I can wear anything I like so quite often it's jeans and a tee. I can't tell you the last time I wore a skirt/dress & heels! In the winter I take off my sneakers and wear slippers around the office. There are only 2-3 of us in here and occasionally someone stops in (employees, UPS etc.). At my old job it was dressy (no jeans) and if we wore a tank top we had to wear a blouse/sweater over it.

    The usual business attire. No sleeveless outfits etc. Heels are a requirement and the craziest requirement I can think of is that we must have painted toenails if the toes are visible.

    When I'm a puppeteer I wear all black. When I'm an actor I wear whatever they make me wear for the character. When I'm writing I wear underpants and maaaaybe a tank top. Or whatever I slept in the night before.

    Business casual.

    I can wear anything from a pencil skirt, blouse and heels, to jeans and a sweater on Fridays - and everything in between. :smile:

    The dress code says "business or business casual." Today I'm wearing a tank+hoodie, a skirt, and birkenstocks. About half my hair is purple and I have a nose ring.

    Pretty darn casual. I can wear jeans most days, today I have on jeans and a little shell t-shirt and a cardigan. I do PR though so if I'm out in the field or at an event I dress more professional. Too hot in Houston summers for only closed toe shoes though. No way.

    Self employed. I wear what I like as long as it complies with public decency laws.

    Might wear a cape and a wizard's hat tomorrow!!

    ^^Wicked awesome

    Very casual,.. but everyone is also very open/honest (blunt at times) with each other so I'm sure if something is inappropriate it will be noticed and addressed.

  • Game dev. We don't really have a dress code but I think people would question you if you show up at the office naked more than once or so times a week.

    I work for the Social Security Administration and our "dress code" reads as the following:

    "Dressing Appropriately
    You are expected to observe standards of dress and appearance that are:
    • Acceptable in similar work in the community; and
    • Suitable to the work environment.
    SSA will not prescribe what you may wear unless:
    • Your mode of dress presents a safety hazard to you or others.
    • Your mode of dress disrupts employees or the public from doing official business."

    With this being said, I am currently wearing jeans, a hoodie with a t-shirt under it and flip-flops because we don't have anyone coming in our office for hearings today LOL

    :D

    I guess for some of my "work", I could just sit in bed and do it.

    I can pretty much wear whatever I want. I stay pretty casual but always look put together. If I feel like crap, I wear sweats.

    I'm jealous of most of you. I have to wear black. Seriously. All solid black. Black slacks/skirt, black shirt and black third piece (a sweater, suit coat, or cardigan). We always have to have three pieces on. Black shoes. They can be open toed April 1 - Oct 31. Other than that they have to be closed toed. Occasionally the company will allow us to wear a different color shirt but they tell us the color and it has to match almost exactly (as in you take a swatch to the store and match it up).

    I work for a newspaper, where the general mode of dress is "business casual." This is an ill-defined term which seems to mean don't have holes or stains in your clothes, and wear sweats only on weekends. Those of us on the copy desk do dress a bit nicer when we're doing the front page, just because we have a budget meeting with the executive editor and managing editors. I make up for this by being a total slob on weekends.

    "casual" - basically, jeans (no holes/rips) and a nice shirt (no t-shirts with logos and such). No sneakers or flip-flops.

    Unless the CFO/CEO of our parent company is coming in (like once every 2-3 years)...then business casual.

    I wear business casual (slacks, blouse, etc..) No dresses, skirts, shorts, or capris...I'm in safety so I wear steel toe or metatarsal guards all the time...

    We used to just be business casual..... slacks and polos were acceptable and jeans were okay on Fridays. But like all good things, some people starting taking things a bit too far and getting a little "too" casual and the next thing you know, there's an official corporate dress policy in place.

    Now for men, it's slacks, button-down collared shirts and either a tie or jacket. I go for the jacket option... at least I can pull it off while I'm at my desk. It's irritating, though, that we can no longer wear polos..... I have a closet full of them that now only get worn every once in a while.

    Do you work at a morgue?!? That's downright depressing sounding!

    Our office is casual, no tank tops, no sweats, no flip flops, and no PJs. Also, management reserves the right to decide if someone is dressed "immodestly."
