I just have to look presentable to other employees. We have a dress code, but it's pretty lax. Don't show up in shorts and a muscle shirt, but other than that just dress without making a social statement.
Casual, mostly. Most people wear comfortable shoes and jeans or khakis. Some of the higher ups wear suits and ties, and some of the "junior" staff wear shorts and t-shirts. The women tend to dress better than the men across the board.
If we're hosting clients, visiting clients, or presenting at a professional meeting, then its business dress, no exceptions.
It was nice out today, so cargo shorts and a polo with a fleece pullover to start the morning. I can get away with t-shirt and jeans/shorts as long as there isn't anything offensive on the shirt. I wear a ball-cap as well!
Work boots, jeans and a company-issued t-shirt in the summer, snowmobile boots, Carhartt bibs and a company-issued Carhartt coat in winter. Oh, and usually a hard hat. I hate them damned things...........
Let's see... For me... I went ahead and put "clothing optional" -- it's not exactly accurate, but it's close. The only 2 rules are -No profanity on the shirts and -Has to cover your t&a.
Me personally, usually shorts, a ratty t-shirt, and sandals. Now that it's colder, ratty pants, a thicker t-shirt, and sandals or shoes depending on precipitation.
Whites Boots, Nomex/Kevlar Pants, duty t-shirt or nomex shirt while on fire. This in addition to a fire shelter, fire pack, first aid kit, drinking water, 24 hours of food, hard-hat, eye protection, ear protection, gloves, neck shroud, radio, radio bra, extra radio batteries, belt weather kit, GPS, compass. Remind me again why I do this when I could be wearing shorts & a t-shirt...
Flight suit on most days now, fortunately. Those are great. Other days, not so lucky. Think elastic bands that connect your shirt to your socks, keeping one tucked in and the other pulled up.
I'm an engineer. I get points for shaving or taking a shower.
I work from home most of the time. When I do go in, it's funny because I work in a field office which is full of sales people who are dressed like, well, sales people. They look at me and right away ask what I am working on. They can tell I'm an engineer from my T-shirt and jeans.
Business casual. Khaki's with pockets all over the place are the bare minimum. Shirts have to have collars. Jeans on Fridays but shirts still have to have collars with the exception of team jerseys.
Full-time telecommuter here as well- whatever tickles my fancy. For the ultimate in comfort, I wear my Utilikilt and a rugby jersey. Extra points for shaving.
I like my new routine - I shave twice a year, I trim up in the summer to get some off my cheeks, and I clean things up for Christmas when I visit the fam.
Now, about this telecommuting .... I've always wanted to get in on that. I hate driving to work. And getting dressed. Both of those.
