Not jeans, shirt, no tie. Jumper or cardie optional. Some bloke with a hoover riding a horse on your shirt or jumper if you work in a bank.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -

Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

I struggled with this at the start of my current gig.
I turned up in my usual attire, smart business >> 2 piece suit, open shirt (no tie) brogues, pocket square...
completely over dressed because no one had told me it was dress down for august for charity. I stuck with it for a couple of weeks but when the c-suite are all rocking about in onesies you start to feel a bit out there...
I attempted to dress down and failed miserably... jacket and dockers or smart jeans and a jacket and shirt. still looked like i was heading to the yacht club...
looks like dress down is here to stay at clientco. Code seems to be don't offend anyone but come as you please... Slowly managing to find my groove wardrobe wise...
I prefer wearing my suit, i look effin awesome in it and i don't have to think about what to wear on any given day...If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur. - Red AdairComment
