Anyone else completely give up on a dress code in office? See some teams come in straight casual. My mini rebellion is wearing sneakers instead of regular dress shoes

If it’s not a client facing day what’s the point of playing dress up

GS is a free for all. Sneakers are the normal at all levels and all genders. Today an assistant wore shorts. Saw an analyst in leather trousers. Everyone keeps a jacket/tie and nice-sneakers or dress shoes or heels in case a client comes in. But otherwise it’s a constant panic getting dressed in the morning. Not to mention my juniors are all hyper trendy. They’ve all walked in dressed like a Zara catalogue.
I’m not even old but when I was an analyst it was a pencil skirt, dress or tailored trousers and heels every day.

I’m part of a sales team and on none-client facing days we are pretty much Livingroom-casual

I’m client facing (some days) on the days that I know I do not have a client meeting - I’m more business casual think black ann Taylor skinny pants, a fun top, and Cole haan oxfords.

I usually get “are you going to a party” but womens dry cleaning is 2-3x mens. Nope. Not wearing a dang suit every day

I’m also pregnant so I’m sure as all get out not buying maternity suits. I think they can deal.

I was working for a new MD that didn’t even know who I was. I was sitting in the cube outside his office, wearing Jordan’s and lululemon pants. He was ranting about how all the new hires don’t know how to dress.

Like sheesh relax I have my clothes in the locker if I need them..

I’ve seen a trader in shorts and flip flops once before. They’ve knuckled on being that casual but it’s still pretty casual on non client days.

I’m not client facing so I just wear whatever I want. Just wearing a polo today and khakis. Nobody has brought it up once these past several months.

I have worn jeans to the office for the last decade or more and I haven’t put on a suit even for a client meeting in so many years I have lost count. Hedge fund clients are usually in sweats so I look dressed up in comparison. Tech company executives likely don’t even own suits and would trust anyone in a tie so I feel comfortable in my jeans at any meeting.

I get interrupted a lot at work now that we are virtual. I don't feel like this happens to everyone else in my team as much, meaning folks tend to let them talk longer. So I've reduced my contribution and talk less. But then others make the same point I'm thinking and would normally have said. So now I just look like a silent non-contributor or someone who gets interrupted a lot.

Office/team culture is generally good, respectful and peaceful.
