I would stick with what is appropriate for the job I am doing, which is what I wear.

I actually like wearing something that is a step up from what I would wear at home on a weekend, therefore I would stick with existing business casual. However I would eliminate any requirement to wear button down, long sleeve shirts. I hate the button(s) at the end of the sleeves. Even though I work in an office I can't concentrate unless I have my sleeves rolled up so I prefer short sleeve shirts.

Jeans and capris. I vary jeans and capris with flats, tennis shoes and heels but I prefer jeans because it's casual. I always wear jeans and/or capris with nice blouses on the weekends so it wouldn't be slouchy for work.

Pretty much casual Friday Mon-Fri

13 years of parochial school, three years in the Army and 40 years on the LAPD, seems I've spent my entire life in a uniform. If I had my choice - jeans and a polo shirt.

I do dress how I want. I prefer to wear a skirt, casual jacket, boots or heels in cool weather and dressy sandals in the summer.

I love skirts and have a rather large collection.

Also, I believe dressing up helped me achieve advancement over other equally qualified employees back early in my career. I think I was viewed as more professional than my coworkers who dressed casual.

Now I just enjoy wearing nice clothes at work.

Well I wear scrubs to work and they are comfy but not very attractive. I would wear jeans, sneaks and t's for the rest of my life, I hate getting dressed up and refuse to wear heels, nylons or dresses/skirts. I have 2 pants suits for interviews and funerals/weddings etc. and that's it.

I had to wear scrubs my entire career, so I am enjoying clothing now in my retirement. I've never been a real casual person. I didn't own my first pair of jeans until I was in my 30's. Even then, I only wear jeans maybe once or twice a month.

I guess dressy casual is my style.

I'd just wear flip flops and sunscreen.
