At the Chamber Music Office, I usually wear something in between "business casual" and regular casual. We're allowed to wear jeans, but they can't be ripped and we need to dress them up. I think running shoes might be frowned upon, too, but there's no official dress code.

When I was with Tree House (and let's face it, I still am, they just took my name off payroll) the junkier the better. It was pretty much inevitable that you'd sit in cat food or step in hairball at least once per shift, so you have to have a sense of humor about your clothes.

When I teach, I wear nice, but casual clothes and comfy shoes. I'm ok with me wearing jeans and so are my students and their parents, but I would never show up to a lesson wearing sweats!

I have two jobs so, the first is business casual except Fridays when you can be a little more casual and wear jeans etc.

The other job, well, I have been known to wear my jammies to work so definitely a casual- casual kinda place. Today I wore blue jeans and a pink sweater and felt overdressed compared to the other two girls, both in track pants

We're business casual at my office. For me that means dress pants with knit tops and dressy but comfy shoes. Every Friday is casual Friday at my office too. I love that! I'm a jean girl at heart!

I switched jobs from an office to a Fabrication shop! I never have done anything like this and it's a change! I wear carpenter jeans and tee shirts!!! I have to measure and build things.. The time goes by quick!

I was scared to death of saws and nail guns! Now I am ready to start remodeling my own home!!!

Since I am self employed I can choose what I want to wear. If I am working outside I wear T-shirt/tank top and usually shorts and those stylish steel toed boots. My white socks are very dirty by the end of the day. Really I came be pretty dirty/sweaty after a few hours!! Hair in a ponytail w/sweatband-its so attractive! If I am meeting with a new client I will wear khaki pants and a nice top. Rarely wear skirts/dresses anymore!!

Casual, normal clothes. I don't wear my most bad ass t-shirts to work though.

Sometimes it's difficult to know what to wear, especially when I'm going to cover some fancy occation. Should I be dressed for the ball too, or am I there just as a working reporter?

I wear business casual every day. Usually dress pants and a button up top or sweater. Sometimes a dress or skirt but I've gained weight and most of those don't fit anymore!

Today its jeans, and a casual top with pumps..Usually its "something I wouldn't paint the house in"...as my boss likes to call it
Business casual I think is what most call it.

Casual here!!! Jeans and t-shirt. Anyone in a suit gets laughed at. Even the CEO wears jeans and t-shirt! The uber rich bigwigs dress the same as everyone else - you could easily run into them and not recognise them as someone important.

I wish I could wear scrubs to work. I think I could really rock the scrubs look. Besides, I love the show Scrubs and I could pretend I am on that show.

We have a business casual dress code at work. I dress business casual, but I've been contemplating kicking it up a notch to business wear - but not a full suit.

Some people go business wear and others are very "business" casual.
