When I started working full time my job required at least a dress shirt and tie with dress pants. Some companies required a suit. When I started with my current company 30 years ago you could get away without a suit if your job didn't involve meeting customers, but shirt, tie and dress pants was required. Some managers held it against you if you didn't wear a white shirt.
Around 1990, they started to relax the dress code and jeans with a decent shirt was allowed on Fridays. Now, it's pretty much casual dress all week and some people stretch that to wearing shorts to work.
Outside work, I'm almost always wearing jeans or shorts and a tee shirt for comfort. Sometimes if we are going shopping my wife will be on my case that I need to dress nicely so people won't think I'm a bum :-)
