- nakedrobot2 11y agoOh! The accursed "USA Business Casual".... the absolutely rigid uniform of khaki pants and a blue button down shirt. Cringetastic!
- pc86 11y agoNot the person to whom you're replying, but in my last certifiably "corporate" job, everyone's dress was pretty much dictated by the role you had. It was bizarre, but it was a large company (IT department alone was ~800) so there was a lot of institutional inertia. The employees wore chinos and a polo or sport shirts most days. Fridays was jeans instead of chinos but still a collared shirt. Managers wore slacks and dress shirts every day. Directors/VPs and up wore a suit every day but would dress down to slacks and dress shirts on Fridays sometimes. I swear somebody had to have been sending emails about it. I never saw some VPs in suits and some not, everyone seemed to dress down to the same level on the same day.
- mcv 11y agoMy manager usually wears a dress shirt and corresponding pants, but no tie or jacket. But maybe he puts those on when he meets higher ups. I think I've also seen him in jeans, but not often. But at a different department, the manager of the same level always wears a hoodie, and probably either jeans or cargo pants. I can't really imagine him in anything else.
- mlrtime 11y agoThis is easy to explain. You want to wear something close to what your manager and his peers wear in case you get called into a meeting. The CEO/MDs wear suits and it goes down from there.
- mcv 11y agoI would have no problem entering such a meeting in my jeans and t-shirt. I do try to wear nice jeans and a nice t-shirt, though.
