I like casual dress. My interpretation is nice slacks & shirt, no tie. However, I have seen some interpret "casual" as meaning shorts & golf shirt. This is unacceptable in my opinion. Like it or not a persons dress (appearance) dramatically affects how they are perceived. Professional vs. non-professional.

Where I work (electronics company and software development), a golf shirt is dressing up. My boss comes in with shorts and sockless sandals. Some people walk around without shoes, and sometimes there are torn jeans shorts.

The owner of the company doesn't mind, and he doesn't dress much better. I'm frequently the most dressed up person in the office, and I only wear jeans and motorcycle T-shirts.

I love it. It allows us to be relaxed, and concentrate on our work, rather than how we look.

Thank you.

And I too think, as everything else, that "casual" has been DUMBED DOWN to mean "!#$!$#-hole street-punk homeless". It used to mean NOT suits, but still NICE and sharp.
