I work at a bank, we have to wear suit & tie and we must be shaved. Women have some slack, some of them even dare to bring jeans... but the rest of us really have to maintain a clean and standard look.

Do you think it is neccesary even in a client facing situation such as yours?
Awhile back the local bank went casual for a few days to celebrate S.A. winnning the Tri-Nations and I for one felt a lot more comfortable doing my business.
Their dress related better to my age and style.
My boss' father though was quite put out by the change and said he'd rather not deal with "louts in jeans".

I guess that's the rub. The older, more traditional generation still likely prefers more formal dress, while the (relatively) younger crowd feels more at ease with more casual dress. So I suppose it depends on who you deal with most...
An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

Normally business casual.
But it depends on the day of the week (casual Fridays.)
It also depends on whether we have visitors in the office (no casual Friday if there are visitors, although this is rare.)
And sometimes it depends on the time of year and/or who's in the office. If the CEO is on a business trip for a couple of days, his assistant normally announces casual days for the entire time he's gone. Since the holiday season is coming up soon, we'll probably have a lot of casual weeks, even if he's here.

It's not like he doesn't know about it or anything. It's just that he doesn't generally make company-wide announcements. His assistant does.
I think the issue is that we're highly unlikely to have any big customers/clients drop in un-announced if the CEO isn't even here.
Actually, they just announced a little while ago that tomorrow will be a casual day. Today, Wednesday, and Thursday, however, are still business casual.

I voted buisness casual but thats not completely true. To say in advance I'm an assistant manager at a grocery store.
Our dress code for < managment is white shirt (tucked in) with tie (or broach for the girls) dress pants (black or kahki) dress shoes and belt. Management and up is similar but a little more relaxed such as colored dress shirts but mostly the same.

mostly anything goes, but most of the time I dress sharply; nice shirt, pants, shoes, not overly dressed, but more fashion oriented ....
but I will never, wear a tie.

It seems men have to have 90% of their bodies covered at all time while for women the required coverage is only 60%. No, we can't choose which 90% to cover.

Well, I opt for more than 60% of my female co-workers should be covered.
