Well... I can give you a quick run down. In 92 I could write code in my skivies... by 94 its was skivies and a T... in 96 it went to skivies and shorts.... then in 99 it took a turn for the worse really quick and I had to wear pants shirt (no T) and off all things SHOES!!! Then a ray of light in early 02, jeans, T and NO SHOES... later in 02.. back to skivies and a T.
Does that help?

Yes David, most of us wear clothing. We're not all so lucky as to live in Tropical UK, where such things are optional...

Tropical UK, I don't think so! Most of the sensible ones have moved out here to Australia.
Anyway, working from a home office in Queensland is definitely shorts, golf shirt and bare feet - with the air con running softly in the background.
Suits are to be buried in!!

At a place I used to work, the dress code was dress shirt, tie and nice slacks for men, and a comperable dress code for women. Why? We were just software developers working long hours. We were told "You never know when you might have to talk to a customer". It never happened until after the dress code was mandated as casual by the new company owners. The customers did not care as long as we had the right answers. Where I work now, I get weird looks if I wear a good shirt and dockers. Casual rules!

In both software positions I've held (one for a software team in a multinational electronics company and my current one for a software house) I've worn shirt, tie and shoes. This isn't a formal requirement per se but more of an unspoken rule. At my last company we used to dress more casual on a friday but at my new company no-one even seems to do that.
However, even if the company did change it's dress code, I would still wear a shirt and tie because it differentiates my home life from my working life. I know that I'm at work when I'm wearing my shirt and tie and it makes me feel more professional. Also, I wouldn't want to be wearing down my 'good' clothes by wearing them for work every day.

How it works in reality , where normal people live and the collective noun for marketing people is a 'target rich environment'.
Dress down Friday
Couldn't give a toss Thursday
It was the only thing ironed Wednesday
Meeting a customer Tuesday
I went away for the weekend Monday
Am I the only one forever playing catch up with technology , while all the juicy opportunites keep rolling by ?

Just the same, i don't like the idea of your employer being that controlling, unless there's an obvious reason. (ex: yer dreds are hanging in the ketchup, small mammals have begun living in your beard and coming out to terrorize customers, your tongue stud is leaving scratches in clients' boots, etc...)

I've always dressed according to circumstances - suits for meetings with the Suits, smart casual wear for lounging about the office, and grubbies for attic crawling and workstation delousing. Since becoming involunarily self-employed I've abandoned all pretense of formality, and am gradually losing any personal hygiene awareness I once possessed. Comfortable shoes, golf shirts with beer logos, well-worn Levis and a pocket full of RJ-45 connectors comprise the height of fashion for me these days. Around here, if I wear one of my Microsoft Insider shirts people think I'm a day trader, so what's the use? I'm willing to dress up on days when I'm meeting a new client for the first time, or sitting in a Board meeting that the press might crash, but I'm not wearing a tie for less than $50K a year except to funerals, and then only if I really liked the stiff or think his widow/daughter is cute.

I never had to (nor would) work at a place that required a dress code. If I could not wear jeans or shorts, I would not even waste my time and interview there (or I would leave the interview if I found out during it that the dress code was too strict and could not be bent a bit).
Anyway, I now work of my home office, so I do not have to deal with a dress code.
Peace!

At last a sensible survey relevant to employment in software development.
Yes, if I'm employing, the dress code is important but I also want people who will be dressed in the latest fashions.
At interviews it is hard to ascertain whether future employees will maintain a high standard of fashion.
So I use some tricks to work out what their priorities are, eg what fashion houses they like, how many shows they attend per year etc.
After all developers who look good, can code better as they are more fastidious.
