I don't have to dress nicely for work. In the summer, my work clothes are usually T-shirts, cargo shorts, and sandals.
But I would dress up a bit if I knew the place was at least "fine casual." Otherwise, if I were going out to an event, I would at least wear a decent pair of jeans and a half-decent shirt--maybe even a button-down short sleeve.
