Are you best suited for your job because that is the company dress code?

That would make many of us slackers, indeed! Tying up loose ends instead of skirting the those points, would dispel rumors of anyone calling us loafers.

If the company dress code is "you must wear clothes", are all persons suited for the job?

They told me that a mask and gloves were enough to go to work. Turns out they lied, everyone else has clothes on

Dress code? For productive people?
You can have a dress code for the managers and the like. I don't speak to customers, so I dress "however da fuq I wants".
And yes, remembering that bitch.

I used to do that as well - ripped jeans and an obscene T, mostly. I even had written permission from one customer's board of directors to dress how I wanted on their premises (and they were a very large company).
But ... I realised that what you wear affects how you think, possibly more than you would expect. So now, even though I work from home all the time, I always wear a clean, ironed shirt, and clean blue jeans. And I think it does improve my code.
Think about it: if you were forced to work at home during the pandemic, did your attitude to work change at all on days when you booted up the PC still in your pyjamas?

I was going to make a reply to OG, but I got involved in your post - clearly before the meds started to work. You can fix it up later.

Other folks have commented about "dressing for work" even when working from home during the pandemic. If that works for you, fine.
For me, my work attire is a T-shirt, shorts, no shoes. I may or may not have shaved. Our meetings are generally audio-only, so that's not an issue. I'm comfortable, and my bosses have had no complaints.
My informality has no effect on my productivity. My professionalism is based on my own internal standards. One of the best things about middle-age is you no longer give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about how you look.

I work in my PJs (scrubs, actually) until around 4pm, when I shower and change into more formal attire (shorts and Hawaiian shirt). No complaints so far, and don't anticipate any either.

We have a crew of people who work in scrubs in the building. They work in our clean rooms, and scrubs are the most comfortable thing to wear underneath all the Tyvek.

As a denizen of the USA, and seeing all too many tweets reported on the TV, I must sadly and wholeheartedly agree with you about chimps throwing "stuff".

Whattaya know, I got that one, sorta. I came up with the right word but being American thought the word started with a 'u' so I thought I was wrong.
No, I'm not going to post it. NO WAY I could come up with a clue. Not smart in that way.
