Jeans, T-shirt and gum boots. But then I don't work in an office so I voted 'Anything goes'.

Well I am self employed and work from my home office(read home), and thats what I usually wear when I am working, because I want to be comfortable when I am sitting programming and oh no one visiting 
Maybe PJs should have been an option, but since it wasn't I voted for Anything goes.
Anybody else in the league?

Well, my office is also at home, but at least I get dressed in shorts and a tee shirt
|

Well I work from home, too, sometimes, but I also have my own office downtown, in a building shared with lawyers and financial services offices. However, I can go to my downtown office in my underwear if I want to, despite my neighbors' raising their eyebrows.
I don't think I've tried that yet, although it's been done by others here before. Then again, what goes on behind the closed door of my office, ... nobody knows but me!

working at home on a hot day, it's just shorts for me!

I work from home as well. I usually wear t-shirt and shorts. Of course my wife chews me out because I wear the same set of shirts and shorts at the top of the clean pile. One day she decided to flip the pile around so I'd wear casual shirts and pants. I was 1/2 hour late for work looking for my uniform.
As appealing as leather chairs may be to some. When you work from home and have to run downstairs in a hurry to pick up a call, they can be the most uncomfortable chairs in the world especially when it quite warm in the office.

Is that what a smart person would casually wear?

No, it what a casual person would wear to look smart.

Actually, Smart Casual usually implies casual, but looks passable enough to meet clients in.
At least, that's my perception.

I voted for anything goes but you will rarely see me in anything less than business casual (unless I am working after midnight - then anything goes). If it was up to me I'd wear a suit and tie to work every day but I was actually told not to dress up that much ...

Me, I tend to wear slacks, sneakers, and a polo shirt (sometimes tucked in, sometimes not.) There are people who dress better, some who dress worse. It is unusual for anyone to wear a tie, except for special events.
We are not technically allowed to wear some things though, such as mini-skirts, anything exposing the midriff, biker/athletic shorts, etc. But over all it's pretty relaxed.

As a Scotsman I would hope not!! I have worn my kilt to work in a financial company in New York City
Though it could not be considered mini, more knee length

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...

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.
