More like the next time I drop a bunch of muffin pans. The industrial ones weigh a TON!! I know they're necessary, I just don't like them.

When I was working, I always, ALWAYS dressed up. I think it gave off a more professional "aura"

Dress pants or a skirt, blouse, and jacket if I have court. Jeans if I don't.

At the cpa firm where I work for tax season, it depends on your position. Partners are always in suits. For temps like me, it's business casual M-F and you can donate $5 to the cause of the week to wear blue jeans on Friday. For the evening shift or Saturdays and Sundays, you can wear pretty much everything. Most wear blue jeans, but some wear sweats. There is a fitness center so I guess they dress to go there when they are done working.

We have no dress code but most professors dress business casual or professional. I generally dress business casual but I'll dress up for certain meetings or when I'm being evaluated.
Some of my colleagues (professors) wear blue jeans but personally I think it looks unprofessional. I'll wear blue jeans to school on rare occasions but never if I'm teaching (ie if I'm just picking up exams during finals).
I've noticed that the "business subjects" teachers (finance, accounting) generally dress more formally than the other teachers (language, theatre, etc). That's also because many of them are professionals who teach before / after their "real" jobs.

Business casual M-T and jeans on Friday. If you are on site doing an audit or meetings with certain people, you better have a jacket on and a tie if you are a guy. If you go to our DC office without a jacket you are going to look out of place.
Our investigators wear khakis and black shirts for arrests, search warrants, etc. The rest of the time it's business casual with whatever best hides their guns.

Technically we are business casual, with jeans on Friday.
The chairman of the board (owner of the company, former CEO) and his wife visit our office often and she always, always, always wears jeans. Her jeans look dressier than my work clothes. She has a leadership role in our division - so it is always a question on what should happen when she is in town working - if she is in jeans, should we be in jeans?

I've been struggling with dress code a bit myself. My first two jobs - telephone surveys (yes, I was that person) and student employee in my University's financial aid office didn't have a dress code beyond "don't be naked" (and I'm not actually certain that was true for the telephone surveys). After that, every job had a dress code. At the video rental store, I had company shirts I had to wear, and at my second store, the store manager decided they had to be tucked in. As a medical receptionist, I wasn't allowed to wear jeans (and at first, scrubs, though the doctors changed their mind on that a year or so later), and I did have to wear a lab coat. When I first moved to Seattle, I worked in a manufacturing company, so while the dress code was casual, there were no open toed shoes, no shorts, etc, for safety reasons. I did wear jeans all the time, and sometimes t-shirts, because as IT, I often had to be down on the floor, in the middle of the line, replacing computers, or checking on connections, etc. Then I moved to the healthcare company. They were business casual M-F. Some units (particularly some of the union shops) were more casual than business. And at the start, I probably was, too. My long term boss gave me some great advice about what to wear (and it wasn't just "dress for the job you want"). But, still, most of my work wardrobe was definitely business casual, only occasionally wearing a jacket or dressing more formally. Then I moved to the Dean's office in the School of Medicine. I was given the advice that I should always err on the "business" side of business casual with them, and I did.
Now, I'm in the College of Engineering, and I think I'm back to the "don't come to work naked" dress code. EVERYONE around me wears jeans pretty much every day (including my chair, and the HR person in the Dean's office). I am right now only allowing myself jeans on Fridays (that might change mid-winter for warmth purposes), and still mostly dressing on the business side of business casual, especially on days when I have meetings. I do this because I do feel more professional, and like I represent the department better, when I am dressed more professional. But we'll see if the lax dress code gets to me after a while.

We can wear jeans every day, although some people still dress business casual, especially upper management. When I travel for work I always do business casual except for when actually traveling and then I wear jeans.

Old hospital was dressy brown/black pants with knit logo sweater/shirt. Interestingly enough AM Unit Coordinator wears Packer/Badger jerseys on game days and the boss is ok with that. New hospital is business casual so I have been shopping like a fiend. Three pairs of shoes, three pairs of pants and a dozen tops today! I think I'm ready. Best dress code was scrubs at first hospital job. It was like wearing jammies all day.

We are business casual. Men are suppose to wear a tie everyday (although when our CEO isn't in the office, most don't). We tend to have a pretty broad spectrum. While no one is allowed to wear jeans, except on the few jeans days we have each year, we do have some people who dress more casual than business at times. When we travel we are to be in business clothes, so I have a few suits I wear for that purpose.

On paper we have a dress code. In reality, anything goes.
I dress on the business casual side. On a rare occasion, I'm in a business suit. I used to wear a suit once a week. I've gotten away from that. I might go back to it, but then I'm only in the office 3 days a week. There are people that wear raggedy jeans everyday. I only wear jeans when it snows and they are not raggedy, well b/c I get rid of them.
