Business casual in the office, anything we want when we work Saturdays during tax season and suits when we go to clients.

We're business casual at work although there's no formal policy for the non-manufacturing areas. Khaki's and polo/button down shirts are very common. Most people wear jeans at least a couple of times a week, especially on the last work day of the week. On the weekends, it's not unusual to see people in shorts and t-shirts.
If someone is in a tie they're either interviewing for another job going to a funeral later that day.

I work from home, so no uniform for me now.

The strictest dress code I've ever had was at a gas station, and it wasn't too bad. Khaki pants, white button-up dress shirt, and a tie.

I'm a vet tech, and they require scrubs. We have to buy their scrub tops from the company as it needs to have the logo and approved print or color. The only downside is they change the color/print about every 6months so I have to keep buying new scrub tops from them. It wouldn't be so bad if they gave them to us at a discount price.

Business dressy or business casual, depending on the person. The menfolk usually wear ties, or a dress shirt and sweater.

Casual Friday = jeans. That said, the bosses wear jeans or shorts when they want to (ie: when they are playing golf), but the rest of us have more of a dress code.

I work at a dealership for a major luxury car company, we have to wear the most ugly blue and grey uniform shirts. Plus side, the company takes care of my uniform laundry. Negative side, I have a big company logo and store name on my shirt so it makes being mean to strangers in public more risky cause they have the option of calling my work and complaining about it. Thus, I ditch the uniform shirt the second I leave work.

@prima: We helped a local vet's staff get around the logo by selling them iron-on logos several dozen @ a time. Everybody had to apply their own, but they could then buy whatever scrubs they wanted.
Also, I hope you're deducting your scrubs from your taxes. I'm always surprised when I find someone who's hearing that for the 1st time.

I wore slacks/button down shirt/tie the first 2 days of working at my job.. That was until I realized everyone here (Federal Employee or Contractor) wore jeans/polo.

For being a Top Secret facility, it's pretty lax on the dress code..

@devexityspace: I'd expect a top secret facility to be lax on dress code because who would know! It's a secret!

I work in seattle so pretty much anything goes clothingwise at my office as long as it's legal in public. I've come to work in everything from pajamas to suits, I dress according to mood. (This, is morning mist.)
