...one of the (many) reasons I prefer to be self employed is that I can set the dress code: jeans and a shirt is fine. And most of my customers are the same: I can visit them in jeans, they can visit me. But today I am sitting here in a suit, tie, and dress shoes instead of comfy ones (I have to go to a funeral in half an hour or so) and I'd forgotten just how stupid ties are. What do they usefully do, other than try to strangle you? Any dress codes where you are working?

Current position is remote, so I'll just let your imaginations run for my work from home days. On office days (once every few months), jeans and a t-shirt are fine. My previous job didn't have an explicit dress code, but the implicit one was business casual with a casual Friday. I started expanding casual Friday until it covered the whole week. My summer project was going to be introducing shorts, but I left before I could add that to my resume. The job before that my wife described as barnyard casual. I don't wear ties for interviews anymore. If a company needs me to wear a tie, it's almost certainly not going to be the right fit for me.

We are pretty much smart casual for our engineering department. It does range depending on the employee but most stick to a nice medium of jeans, shirt, shoes, or jeans, t-shirt, trainers are the bare minimum.

If it's tight, I hate to tell you, then YOU are at fault. 0. Get shirts that really fit. Put a tape measure around your neck and stick two fingers between it and you, that will give you a comfortable collar size. 1. Use a large knot, double over or Windsor. The single turn is stupid, and looks worse and worse as the day progresses. 2. When you tie the tie, close it to the collar and not your neck. Simples [sat here in shorts and polo shirt]

When I asked on my first day what the dress code was, I was told that I could wear whatever I liked - the nice lady from personnel then went on to say 'except your superman costume'.

Bare feet and shorts.

Ya know, the world is stupid. We live in the mountains where everybody dresses casual. Why we have to pose for the dead is beyond me.

Not really. "Business Casual". I choose to wear a bolo tie -- the official neckwear of Arizona. I would not take a job where I had to wear a suit.
