Anything you want as long as it's not blatantly offensive. I think the only thing we've been told not to wear is something with naked girls on it...

Web development company. Super casual, can where whatever I want. I'll make sure to wear a collar shirt and khakis a couple times a week though and make sure certain people see me. That way when I do wear tshirt/shorts it's percieved as a rare occurance. (not that it matters, but it doesn't hurt)

I work for myself, so the dress code is pretty much whatever I want it to be. However, my office is in a corporate-type office building, so I usually wear slacks and a button-down shirt so as not to look weird.

usually polo or v-neck shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes but the attire ranges from slacks+button down to tshirt, shorts, and sandals

one of the guys at work is a big fan of teva sandals plus white socks, I guess when you get old you can wear whatever you want

tie or jacket, forget it, this is Phoenix in the summertime, still 100 F at 10 pm..

intern for major semiconductor company

Everywhere I ever work has similar dress code: polo or long sleeves shirts with slacks/khaki pants and brown/black shoes/belts. No jeans or non collar shirts, especially t shirts.

I worked for an insurance company for a while so us guys had to wear a tie and no polo shirts.

nothing offensive, nothing tattered or with holes. I'll usually wear at least a colored shirt. Jeans always.

A combination of heavy metal shirts, sandals, army boots, miniskirts, sleeveless shirts, T-shirts (with holes in the armpits), jeans and armani suits here.

We have seperate rooms to recieve the clients, so as long as it's not too offensive it's ok

As long as I am not nekkid, and have some clothes on. Shorts, sandals, whatever. No lip, nose, or any other body piercings allowed, earings are fine.

We probably have one, but I'm wearing a polo with some shorts and flip flops today.....shades on my head. I guess you could say if there is a dress code, I'm violating it.

Basically whatever we want, unless we're working with harsher chemicals (environmental lab). Obviously we don't want to burn a hole in our toes, but the lab area is the only place where we bother to watch what we wear.

there is no official "dress code" where I work...

however everybody pretty much dresses in professional attire without the jacket..

that means dress shirt, tie (ties are provided to us with the company logo on them.. they have over 40 different ties), slacks, nice shoes... everything but the suit jacket...
