Shirt, tie, and khakis while in the office, polo/khakis on-site, on the road, and or on Fridays.

You guys don't do Hawaiian shirt day on Fridays? (I'd kill myself)

Actually I've been known to break out a Hawaiian shirt on Friday (or a bowling style shirt)

Also get to wear jeans if we donate to a cause, but I don't do that.

And I'm jealous of you jeans and polo types. That's what I'd want to wear.

We can wear jeans on Fridays and if you donate at least $10/month of your pay check to a charity you can wear jeans on Monday as well. I think slacks are more comfortable so even though I toss $20/month to the American Heart Association I still wear slacks five days a week.

Slowhand

If my boss has behaved himself: pants.

Most of the year, button down collared shirt, with slacks/khakis and black loafers (Rockports.....so comfortable...

). When there is an "occasion" sometimes I bust out the suit but those aren't too often.

One guy I used to work with did every day. He left a few top buttons undone so you could get a nice glimpse of chest hair. He also drove a purple PT Cruiser. I think there were bodies in the trunk.

Jeans and T-shirts at the office, or dress clothes and a tie while on-site with customers.

dales

proper work black trousers button up short sleeved shirts (black shirt monday and blue shirt fridays), dont do ties cant stand them round my neck and safety boots.

Local-IT-Dude

I usually dress pretty good. No jeans, occasional tie.

powerfool

A suit is standard attire. We were recently allowed to ditch the tie and jacket on Friday's. However, with the nearly mile walk in the parking lot and the heat, I have been ditching the jacket as often as possible.

earweed

Tan pants, polo or button up shirt, black leather shoes when seeing clients. No tie

colemic

shorts, t-shirt, flip flops. It was only 3 weeks ago that I broke my streak of 55 consecutive weeks of flip-flops every day. Only happened because closed-toe shoes are mandatory on helicopters here, but wound up sticking with the commuter plane. D'oh! Back on the flip flop wagon now.

N2IT

Dress pants and button downs or oxfords.

genXrcist

Chaps and a thong....

seriously though, t-shirt and shorts every day until it gets too cold for shorts. After that it's jeans and hoodies. In my company everyone dresses business casual but one day I just said screw it and started dressing real relaxed. It's kind of become my trademark now and nobody minds.

When I HAD a job I usually wore a polo and khakis or a dress shirt (company name on it) and khaki's

Once in a while they would ask me to wear a suit to impress visitors or someone higher up dropping by.

Psoasman

Jeans and a polo or button up...I used to wear nicer clothes but after crawling under a few bars to trace out lines, I stick with the $13 walmart jeans, I go through 2 or 3 pairs a year.

nel

trousers and shirt apart from casual fridays. I can also get away with being dressed down for the odd day or two but not every day.

mark_s0

trousers and shirt, no tie with no casual friday's or aircon in the building

I would prefer to wear a polo shirt but due to the heavy customer environment, it is a smart dress culture.

I'm jealous of you short wearer's!

My first desktop support gig was at a UC campus and I just wore whatever was comfortable like jeans/shorts, t-shirt, hoodie, and skate shoes.

Did IT support at the corporate headquarters for a large energy company who supplies you all with gasoline for your automobiles and I had to wear a collared shirt and slacks everyday. I still wore skate shoes though. Fridays were jeans days.

Current job in a datacenter graveyard shift where I may or may not get a little dirty so I just wear clothing that I don't normally wear or that would have been tossed in the donate pile.

sidsanders

vendor supplied shirts. no dress code. my boss has been breaking out the shorts all summer.

gorebrush

Trousers and a shirt generally, don't bother with the tie though.

Friday it's casual so jeans and t-shirts

The word trouser always makes me laugh for some reason.

DevilWAH

Jeans or shorts + a T-Shirt 99% of the time. we dont deal with external customers and as all the lab staff get to wear what they want, there is no dress code on site.

If I knwo external people are comming in, or there is a project meeting with heads of departments then shirt and trousers. But even then most of them come in jeans.

I like the casual dress code, personal I feel very uncomftable in a shirt, Like how I look just hate how it makes me feel.

Same here - I only use it when followed by the word trout

phantasm

Usually jeans and a polo or acceptable t-shirt. However this new job is telling me slacks and a polo. Time to go clothes shopping.

tbgree00

A tuxedo shirt and jorts.

In reality slacks, polo or button down, and dress shoes. Once or twice a week I dress really nice to throw them off my scent if I ever do an interview.

Peibol

Whatever I want!!

Nobody comes to the IT "cave" department, so we just wear t-shirts, shorts, jeans, tennis shoes......

Our boss doesn't care at all. He just want the job done.

I can guarantee you there were body bags. He had a friend who worked for the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's office and he bought a few. Don't forget the ball gag on the rear-view.

Thanks for clearing that up Paul

button up long sleeve shirt, tie, dress pants, and dress shoes

LinuxRacr

When in the office: Jeans/Kakhis, polo or button up shirt, and Vibram Five Finger KSO Trek Shoes. (We aren't customer-facing, and with my new boss, he's over a thousand miles away)

Working from home: Just get out of bed, and go to my desk....
