What's your dress code at work?

[AnOldUR]

Work from home. Usually start out in boxer shorts getting paper work done. End up in jeans and a tee shirt.

Machinist. Those hot chip really burn on bare skin.

Whatever when at home. Business casual in the office. Usually shirt and tie when I'm out covering a game (except for high schools, which I'm doing a lot of lately after doing none for 10 years).

Jeans and a collar shirt for me most times. Nothing fancy by any strech of the imagination. T-shirts and jeans everynow and then. I sit in an office but have to do warehouse work sometimes so just show up. and +1 on hating to shave I am not a fan.

Pretty laid back.

Anything pretty much goes except shorts, unless you are a girl and then you can wear skirts so short you can almost see panties , and pajamas. Yes, some people have actuialy tried wearing their pajamas to work.

Of course, most of the women here might as well just come in their bra. Not complaining really, I just don't get it. If your gonna show half of your ****s in public, don't get upset when someone notices.

The only times I've had a dress-code at work was 5 years in the Navy and two years as a management trainee at Hughes Aircraft; both over 25 years ago.

Had an interview with Visa in the late '90's. They wanted me to wear a suit ... as a UNIX sys admin, who would be crawling around in the data center! Can we go SNORT?

Some are meh, others need to practice more conservative dress codes. That's the irony around here. The better shape we tend to be in the more conservative we dress. The worst shape the more that seems to show.

We have a pretty casual office when we are in it; jeans and sneakers are okay, t-shirts and sandals are not. On the flip side we spend the majority of our time on the road at client sites and there we are usually in business suits.

 

[zoebisch01]

It's very flexible at work because we are a research lab. The only time I am in my suit is when I have to present to sponsors, etc.

 

[TexLaw]

Business casual, with an occasional call for a blazer or even a suit. Jeans are good on Fridays. It's not as much a "code" as just what we do. One guy is in a suit and tie every day.

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.

Engineers are a different breed. I think we tend to ignore those that think they need to dress to impress. Most of the vendors visiting our office are wearing dockers and polo's these days. 10years ago the sales guys were all suits but that has changed.

Pretty casual clothing requirements here. No one seems to push clothing boundaries so regulations are not mentioned. I imagine they are codified somewhere but most employees would not be able to tell you what the rules are. Jeans or dockers and polo's or t-shirts are the norm.

+1. Working in a lab you can wear whatever you want.

eh, just wait until you hit industry...

 

[quickerNu]

I am kind of butting heads with my boss over this a little bit. I am a Harley-Davidson salesman, and I ride my bike to work nearly everyday. Most of my customers are professionals, or new to HD. I like to wear good boots, nice, sturdy khakis, and a Harley polo-type shirt. All of the sudden he started enforcing our "official" dress code. Jeans and a button down HD "mechanic" shirt. He doesn't even tuck it in.

I like looking semi-professional as a salesman, and I really don't feel that way in jeans and a square cut shirt. oh well..

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Small software company...even the president wears shorts and a tshirt. I typically follow suit, opting for a polo now and then. The CTO and I frequently sport brewery-related shirts, leaning toward the hometown brewery of SN of course :rockin:.

 

[blacklab]

On a given day I'll see more people in sweatpants than in ties.

BUNNY SUIT

No, not rabbit suit. Actually that was my last job but I thought it would be a funny reply for those not familiar with the term. It’s a cleanroom suit. Wore one just about every day for about 4 years. Today it’s just casual.

 

[buckrogers71]

as a 1st grade teacher i usually wear kahkis, a button down and tie, but usually its pants and a button down/ polo. We do have a "jeans" day, but that requires donating to the charity of that day

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Our dress code is no jeans and collared shirts. I think it is sad though. I work at a desk job and 20 years ago everyone here would have been in suit and ties. I just think it promotes a more professional and hard working atmosphere when you are dressed the part. I like to dress well, and where at least a sport coat every day. One day when I rule the world, dress codes will be better.

I am in the Military so I get to wear the same thing everyday, except on Monday when we get to wear our Blues (Dress Uniform). I have been trying to push for no-shave Mondays to improve the morale, I just get a shake of the head.
