I’m the type who wears running shorts and tank tops year round. I can go to work like that without any problems. Shorts and tanks is my attire for almost every occasion, even in winter

At Clearspring, we’re a pretty casual bunch. I’m typically in jeans and a t-shirt. Some of our execs or sales folk will dress up.

Heh… we tried to get dressy Fridays going. For a while, some of our engineers were rocking the three piece suits every Friday.

I used to work for a fairly well known tech company where we had, “casual fridays”. True story.

I work from home and I have a bad habit of wearing my PJs for at least the first half of the day. All this week it’s been PJs 24/7 because I’ve been sick. I can’t say I miss having to get dressed up on a daily basis for work, but I do enjoy the occasions when I’m meeting with clients and get to dress up.

When I used to work at an interactive agency, the dress code was very casual. Shorts, t-shirt, flip flops… even if there were clients coming in.

Now that I work from home, I tend to get up in the morning, have a shower, get dressed, and oddly, most days I dress better than I did when I worked in an office.

I prefer to wear a suit and shirt (no tie).

I don’t want to sound like captain dull, but I really feel that it puts me in a certain mind-set: “this is work time”.

I get more done and I have more confidence behind what I say when speaking to my staff and clients (even when it is only over the phone).

The reverse it true too – when I go home and get changed into my civvies, the backberry gets switched off, th elaptop goes in a drawer and my family and friends get 100% of my attention – it’s no longer “work time”.

Business casual, which is a debatable label. For my workplace, it means slacks and a buttoned-up collared shirt. Dress shoes. Dark socks. Although a tie is optional, it still sounds more than casual. All I can tell you is it’s uncomfortable day after day, and I spend a lot of time feeling stifled and fidgety.

I must admit I agree with Kirk that the title of this post sounds like a bad intro to an instant messenger conversation. I laughed when I saw you guys twitter it earlier today.

I work two places: from home and from my office. At home, I tend to do work in whatever I feel like, but it’s always really casual, and sometimes it’s just a tshirt and pajama pants. At home I’m not seeing clients, I’m just doing paperwork and other such things.

At my office I have no real co-workers, but I do see clients and therefore have to dress more professionally. That said, professionally in my case involves ‘sports’ clothing like yoga pants, comfortable capris, and tshirts. Basically anything I can easily move in but still look put together.

I’m always curious to see what people who work in typical offices wear, since ‘back in the old days’ people would always have been wearing at least a nice shirt and pants. These days there are so many offices that are just plain old casual. I’m also curious if freelancers and others who work for themselves tend to dress up a bit if they have a client meeting of some sort, or if they don’t bother with that sort of thing.
