How formal or casual is your work dress code?

In architect work, panties are optional.

I meant he can dress casual unless he’s meeting with clients. Then it’s a suit.

Anything goes. People routinely wear t-shirts, jeans, shorts, even sweatpants. Nobody wears a coat or tie and nobody gives a shit.

Software development, of course.

We’re pretty casual but I did once nix an applicant who showed up for her interview in a ROMPER.

I'm appalled by how casual everyone is. I used to work in an office and they had business casual Fridays, now every day is casual. I will say this OP, if I went to see an attorney and he was dressed casual. I'd walk right out and find a different one. I want my attorney in a suit when he sees me.

Sweatpants?

We've all given up!

One of our top slags wears pants that appear to be something like a combination of pajama bottoms and sweatpants.

R5 I fixed the comment, he does have to be in a suit. Funnily enough he did a mercifully brief stint at a law firm that tried to show how hip they are and no one wore suits, per the firm ideals. A client complained to the attorney who started to the firm that he was dressed casually. They charged regular from prices. I couldn’t be happier he left that place quickly.

Sweatpants, shorts, tank tops, flip flops.

*the attorney that had started the firm

What ideals could they have possibly had other than "Make more money!"

I work in academia. The faculty don't give a shit and wear whatever. But for the administrative frauen, it's always a Chico's kind of day!

Anyone have a suit and tie dress code? I remember when at last they didn’t require my dad to wear his suit jacket all day during the summer. He just had to wear a shirt and tie in the summer. This was shortly before he retired

R12 He wanted all the attorneys to bring seven-eight figures a year wearing jeans. No he is not a millennial

Last job, in Qatar, was casual. With the heat, I'd wear thin khakis with a roomy cut. Pants sticking to sweaty legs is fucking horrible. Shirts? Generally short-sleeve, loose fit. I'd throw on a not-outrageous Hawaiian shirt from time to time. T-shirts were fine on casual Thursdays -- what with the work week being Sun-Thurs.

Next stop: Oman. Job looks good, but it's a formal environment. Even with that heat, suits and ties. Motherfuckers.

Maybe I can convert to the local faith, wear the long, white robe. Arab colleagues say they're extremely comfortable.

My partner's job is in the smart to business casual range, with summers and Fridays as casual. I work from home so can wear anything I'd like! If I have video calls that day I wear a nicer shirt.

Insurance Co: business casual which means dress like a slob. I wear trousers and a dress shirt.

Private Banker here to the rich and famous and generally wear suits every day except Friday. If I'm not seeing clients I wear biz casual, a blazer, dress pants and nice shoes. By the way all the clients dress like slobs.

R3, I've worked in marketing for 2 well known insurance companies, the only time where it was expected to be "business casual" or even dressed in a more formal suit and tie, was when we were meeting with vendors and agencies, and ultimately going out to dinner/lunch at some higher end place. "business casual" doesn't mean dressing like a "slob". I've been interviewed, and subsequently hired, by said companies, where I showed up in a full suit and tie, and they were simply wearing dress pants, a dress shirt, dress shoes, etc... no tie or jacket.

I always try to keep my clothes elegant and simple.

(Not like this Lucille Le S. person...)

Now that summer is here is anyone still having to wear a suit jacket all day?

I work at a medium sized hedge fund. If investor's aren't visiting the office that day you can basically wear whatever

I work at home, but am always on video calls. I usually wear a dress shirt and boxers. Business up top and party down below.

Levi’s, sneakers and T-shirts. We switched almost 10 years ago. One SVP fought against it. All C level people voted for it.

The Indian women decided to have dress up Fridays. They wear their saris. Each one costs up to a $1,000 and they have many in their wardrobe. Honestly, the saris are amazing.

Earrings

Caftans

Hostess pants on occasion

Work at home. Pajamas til noon. Then shower and brush my teeth and put on clean pajamas.

Software and systems development for a public university, so lots of school pride dry-fit tees and slightly dressy beachwear shorts this time of year.

In the winter I indulge my hoodie fetish with abandon.

Younger city-based transactional attorney here. My office is still relatively formal. Most of the older attorneys/partners wear matched suits, ties, dress shoes, etc. to the office. The younger attorneys dress, not so much casual, but more trendy. One of the star associates is often at work in trendy jumpsuits. We are required to dress conservatively when we are meeting with clients or attys from outside firms (esp. the opposition), which is the typical boring-attorney look with matched suits, or at least something more classic akin to a prep-school uniform. I don't know of many firms in my area that require suits for attorneys (at least not in my area, those in the public sect dress more traditionally formal). We still have casual Fridays where we can wear nicer jeans.

College professor, so they’re just grateful I show up to classes.

Ties need to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Software development company so casual all the way. Almost no restrictions and yes, I've seen sweatpants, tank tops, torn jeans, etc. Nobody gives a shit.

Nurse here- stuck in navy blue polyester. No such thing as a casual day

Yoga pants and a tank top or t shirt and sneakers

sweat pants and hoodie in the cooler months

I'm in court most of the time so I wear a suit. Nothing is sexier to me than a man in a good tailored suit - unless they're naked.

Clients want to see their attorneys dressed professionally. They do not want to see casual dress in an attorney. Anything sloppy or too casual makes them think the work will be sloppy or casual.

Personally I think teachers should dress as examples for their students. What's wrong with young men and women looking at their teachers as professionals rather than someone going to softball practice? Maybe it would help them get more respect from students.
