When you go into the office, what do you wear? We are ‘smart casual’ but I would say more smart than casual, and I feel like I can never get it right

Smart casual is just a polite way of saying “We expect you to look polished but won’t spell out the rules.” If men can get away with a button-down and slacks, why do we feel pressured to overthink it? I say wear what makes you feel confident and powerful, and if in doubt, dress a notch above the norm—never hurts to be the best-dressed in the room.

This is very true, thank you

Before the pandemic, our dress code was much stricter. I typically wore a knee-length skirt with a neat blouse, and if I felt extra fancy, I'd add a blazer. However, after the pandemic, our policy became much more relaxed, and I can real casual clothes including jeans.

Yes I’ve definitely noticed it relaxing too

Business casual for us. I wear slacks and a button up daily. Never less. Some days I wear a jacket, but rarely put on a tie.

Are you a woman? Not that it’s a problem but I’ve never seen a woman wearing a tie!

Will preface that I am not client facing. Post-pandemic it is dark straight leg jeans with a business casual top and shoes.
