I work in publishing. It's more or less "where what the fuck you want unless you're lobbying the government." We sometimes dress up for events, which means biz-casual for conferences/conventions and something artsy for launches and readings (think jeans and a jacket, think scarves and knee-high boots).
Oh, I work from a home office, so in my case, it's whatever I want. I'm usually in jeans, T, and cardigan. But some days I will wear pajama bottoms if I know I'm not going outside anytime soon.
I used to think dressing up was cool in theory...but now I'm not so keen on it. When people get on others' cases about their garb outside of business- or formal/event-related situations strikes me as tragically Victorian.
