Seems like lots of young companies are changing their dress codes significantly. What do you typically wear to work? Does you company have a dress code? Do you wish you could wear something different to work? Does your company differ significantly from your industry?
What do you wear to work?

The library used to have a dressier code, but now everybody sports a uniform t-shirt, khakis, and tennis shoes. I ditch the tennis shoes for Oxfords, though.

Sometimes I put on pants, but not usually.

As of now, company issued work uniform.
Business casual unless I meet with certain type of clients and then I wear a suit. My office is unusual for the industry since most wear suit every day. I always have weird socks. Today is handlebar mustaches.
The culture in my company is interesting - what is deemed appropriate varies from site to site (and country to country)
The site I work on now used to be a factory / assembly line but it has evolved over the years into an R&D site with various bits of customer support attached.
The engineers in R&D set the tone wearing jeans and a jumper.
The other sites I've been to have been more formal - these were primarily sales offices and were customer facing.
The only place I consciously ignored the tone in the office was in Italy - I couldn't handle the heat and wear a full suit at the same time.
Edit: Accountancy in general is quite formal - I am happy to have the tone set by a bunch of software engineers.

I code in my bath robe.
Same.
Though I work from home about half the time and just wear sweatpants and a sweater. (Though sometimes I'll do video conference calls where I'll wear sweatpants and a shirt.)

In whom I trust
When I was working it was work issued clothes.
On the office day to day, business casual.
When meeting some clients, a suit.
When meeting other clients, business casual.
When meeting yet another group of clients, jeans and a polo.
When on the field, overalls (over jeans and a polo).

A clown costume so I fit in with my coworkers.
Whomp! Always with the strong sock game.
I can wear whatever I want to the office (I probably still wear a collared shirt 4 out of the 5 days a week though)...but when I'm at a sporting event or media event I'm always in a suit, even though my peers usually aren't. Makes me feel a little better.

business casual w/ tie no jeans previously.
Anticipated workplace environments would be able to do "Jeans, but a collared shirt" with khaki/polo or polo/jeans being the casual days.

I don't have a job. If you're still curious about my fashion, I just wear a T-Shirt + hoody/jacket/neither + jeans/shorts + running shoes/vans/flippity-floppers depending on the weather.

Is it really necessary to say I wear those? If you must know, ankle socks (unless I'm rocking the floppers) + boxer-briefs.

I wear a company-mandated uniform. This consists of:
Khaki-colored polo shirt with company logo on the front.
Olive-green colored cargo pants.
Brown or dark-colored hiking boots and a brown belt.
I typically wear a zip-up hoodie with this when it's cold. All this equipment we have to buy from a specific store in SJ, for which we are given $40 per year ($80 when you're first hired). It's really not enough to build a uniform reserve with, and I'm in desperate need of a new shirt and new shoes.
