Dresscode in the Office - What's your opinion?

[Messie]

Try setting off the fire alarm - soon cools you down as I've just found out!

I work in Chelmsford too. Agreed the sun is making the inside quite hot. But it's our Year 11's last day and guess what, they set off the fire alarm. Again. For the third time this week. It really is a funny one that.

Anyway the wind round here is pretty gusty now and we've all cooled down considerably now!

Anyone remember what the law is on temperatures in a place of work?

I know theres a minimum tempreture, but i dont think there is an offical maximum temp.

No maximum temperture. But considerations for health and safety are to be made. Water, ventilation etc.

There's a min but no max. They are to provide water etc though, factory/bakeries etc are different

Ours is smart casual but tbh I wish they were more formal Some of them here wear totally minging gear day in - day out and all night at the pub. Can lead to some nasty sights and smells.

Find it depressing somedays when you seem to live in the same gear, a dress code would mean I'd get changed when I get home and feel more in relax mode

Oh and I did suprise my 'then' boss when I got up and was wearing the trouser from my 2 piece suit and aplinestars LOL had a shirt and tie up top, his face was a picture

We can wear anything here. We're a bunch of scruffy feckers

No dress code around here at all, I guess just common sense. I try to dress smart casual if I'm meeting clients (which normally happens about twice a year), otherwise it's just plain casual.

I have to wear a nice uniform , black trousers, white shirt, minging Ashofrd Borough Council tie...

But then we're the only department who are face to face with customers... evryone else come in in smart clothes... and get dress down Friday too

Occasionally meet clients, when they drop in for meetings with my colleagues on ad-hoc basis.

We have a full suit dress code.

no dress code at work. can wear joggies, jeans etc but most of us wear tailored trousers and tops. i dont wear vest tops as kids always comment on my tattoo and older boys stare at my chest and keep dropping items and asking me to pick them up.
