A more casual dress is a great perk of working in most tech shops. Don’t show up looking like a slob, but you can 💯 rock your latest score from stockx
It is fine to wear sneakers. Most don’t wear blazers. I am female gen x. I wear fashion tennis shoes and all birds sometimes. I tend to dress up more than my younger male counterparts.
Why not sneakers, sneakers are fire

Dude I wear shorts and a hoodie to the office what’s all this blazer talk
I wore sneakers today. Nobody cares
Chief
If it's a real tech company, people wear jeans, t-shirts or casual shirts, and hoodys or jackets.
Nobody will be wearing a blazer. More upscale foot attire is at your discretion, but sneakers are generally the norm.
Also isn’t allbirds kind of a part of the techie uniform
Rising Star
I swear, allbirds is THE tech shoe of choice
Fellow Gen Zer... Depends on the nature of the firm. Are you at startup or a major corporation? What's the dress code/vibe/culture at your office? Are you front office/client facing or back office?
Just avoid anything Ye branded...
I’m part of gen z. I always wear a full suit or a dress/shirt and skirt/trouser with blazer. Shoes always heels or flats.
Yes. I went through a Chucks with a suite phase at some point. As long as the sneakers are clean and aren’t like “running shoes” you should be fine.
Sneakers like Toms might be ok, but not weekend running shoes.
I do it at J.P. Morgan 🤷🏻♀️
When we were in the office it was practically pjs 😂
I’ve worn nice sneakers, slacks and a button down in plenty of corporate offices, and Tech is usually even more laid back
Imo blazer is too formal. I’m at a start up and we wear hoodies all the time
If I’m at a conference and dressing up more than usual, jeans, tech t and blazer is my go to ‘uniform’. Would only wear a blazer to the office for a special day—mtg with execs, important presentation—and still with jeans or similar.
Not for day one. After that, just look around and see what is appropriate
I wear shorts and a t-shirt. Think you’ll be fine
Totally!
Loafers and dress shoes instead of sneakers
Yeah, have to disagree. Only if you’re in sales or consulting. Been in tech for 15+ years, never owned a pair of loafers
Worked in all kinds of tech, on days I have presentations I’d wear a blazer and sneakers! Days where I’m just going in to get work done hoodies and sneakers. I kept a blazer in my desk just in case but no one really cared
