Tennis shoes, jeans, and a t-shirt. As long as I don't look like an idiot or wear something ridiculous I'm fine. IT is an exception though, everyone wears business casual except on Fridays, Fridays are jeans and a tshirt day I think... but I believe its an unspoken rule.

I get my ass in a tie for council meetings though.

Business casual so for me that usually means slacks (Dockers) and either a long sleeve button down shirt or a polo shirt and loafers. We can dress casual on Fridays when shorts are even allowed.

There is no official dress code but I'm sure there are limits. I guess I'll vote casual.

There's a category in between casual and business casual. It's where you go nice jeans with a polo or a casual button shirt. Jeans + t-shirt is ok on Friday for us, but nothing like ghetto or anything.

business casual... but it's REALLY casual..
No jeans except for friday, other than that, nobody says anything.

There's a guy who wears scrubs 3+ days a week, and nobody cares...

I work at home so I normally work in boxer briefs and a shirt.

Edit: sometimes I don't wear boxer briefs. :p

Kind of a mix depending on department. Most of the Engineers will where casual/business casual, but almost everyone else wheres a business suit.

In IT, it's just business casual - as in a suit without a tie. Everyone else wears a suit - basically what we wear plus a tie. Our dry cleaning bills are higher than the ones who make more money. Ugh.

Oh, and remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

Really whatever I want. I wear shorts and t-shirts all the time. I did at my previous job too, even though there was a semi-dress code. Nobody gave me any shit though. I guess it's because I did my job which did not require a fashion show.

I got the reference.... :D

It's pretty laid back at my job. People can typically wear whatever they want and probably get away with it, but most everyone is well-kept, with jeans and t-shirts. Even the higher-up's wear jeans and t-shirts tucked in. I wore shorts and sandals quite a few times myself over the hot summer.

Business casual, but Fridays are casual (jeans, no shorts). I'm a computer progammer.
