Just the same, i don't like the idea of your employer being that controlling, unless there's an obvious reason. (ex: yer dreds are hanging in the ketchup, small mammals have begun living in your beard and coming out to terrorize customers, your tongue stud is leaving scratches in clients' boots, etc...)

I've always dressed according to circumstances - suits for meetings with the Suits, smart casual wear for lounging about the office, and grubbies for attic crawling and workstation delousing. Since becoming involunarily self-employed I've abandoned all pretense of formality, and am gradually losing any personal hygiene awareness I once possessed. Comfortable shoes, golf shirts with beer logos, well-worn Levis and a pocket full of RJ-45 connectors comprise the height of fashion for me these days. Around here, if I wear one of my Microsoft Insider shirts people think I'm a day trader, so what's the use? I'm willing to dress up on days when I'm meeting a new client for the first time, or sitting in a Board meeting that the press might crash, but I'm not wearing a tie for less than $50K a year except to funerals, and then only if I really liked the stiff or think his widow/daughter is cute.

I never had to (nor would) work at a place that required a dress code. If I could not wear jeans or shorts, I would not even waste my time and interview there (or I would leave the interview if I found out during it that the dress code was too strict and could not be bent a bit).
Anyway, I now work of my home office, so I do not have to deal with a dress code.
Peace!

At last a sensible survey relevant to employment in software development.
Yes, if I'm employing, the dress code is important but I also want people who will be dressed in the latest fashions.
At interviews it is hard to ascertain whether future employees will maintain a high standard of fashion.
So I use some tricks to work out what their priorities are, eg what fashion houses they like, how many shows they attend per year etc.
After all developers who look good, can code better as they are more fastidious.

Hi all,
I am an undergraduate studying BSc Software Engineering and for my final year project I need the Smart Device Extensions, does anyone know where I can get hold of these? I really need to get hold of them and I am running out of time 
thanks for your help guys.

Smart Device extensions? That is quite an unusual dress code.
(p.s., wrong forum)

In older surveys, there was an "Other:" text entry box. It was always amusing to look through the people who'd type a programming question there!!

Maybe he's talking about wearable computing?

After 20 years of professional life, my dress code has almost always been self-imposed. When I first graduated from college, I tended to wear shirt/tie/jacket. I was 23, but looked like I was 16. Dressing the part helped, especially when I was dealing with (older/more experienced) engineers at customer sites. My boss didn't insist on it.
Of course that no longer applies (I'm now one of the old farts). I dress casually (polo shirt, Dockers or jeans, casual shoes). At that, I tend to outdress most of my coworkers. The young guys tend to wear T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes, while the guys up to my boss's level tend to wear jeans.
I've noticed, however, that how you dress still tends to affect how others deal with you. This is most noticeable when I've been in meetings with other departments like Sales and Marketing, where perceptions are important.

I was told that as far as a dress code went, they'd be highly disappointed if I did turn up for work in a suit
As us developers here never deal directly with the public, and games are sold as shrinkwrapped titles, not to a particular client, they really don't care what we wear (although you do spot the odd financial or marketing guy in a suit when someone important is visiting)

When I used to come to work in shoes, the CFO would asked where I'd been for an interview. 
Oh, those were the days.
My current employer doesn't believe that developers need a swimming pool and tennis court to be productive. Go figure.

Simon

I worked with a guy who regularily took his shirt off when he got to work...dress code or not, that was disturbing! I'd rather that he only took his shoes off.

There's no dress code where I work (except: "wear a tie on sea trials and you'll get laughed at  ) so at the moment I tend to wear jeans, boots and either a shirt or sweatshirt - together with a waistcoat to disguise my figure.
Once I change role in January I can either stay totally casual (which is probably what everyone's expecting) or surprise everybody and turn up in a business suit (short skirt, blouse and jacket...).
Either way, January could be an interesting month!

Turn up in fishnets, high-heels, and a blouse with a plunging neckline - you MUST!!! It'd be priceless.

It certainly would - but it would also fit the public stereotype of a transsexual and not do my credibility any good at all!
What I'll probably do is go really, really casual, take it slowly...and then just surprise them one day.
If I did do it, a gothic look would probably work much better (black rather suits me...).
