ddephor45126yYou're hopefully there for your skills, not for looking good.
I know, people tend to be superficial. That's a problem, people are idiots. -
Elyz78096yWhatever I damn well please. Some days I'll go in dresses or skirts, others I'll wear jeans and t-shirts. Doesn't matter much, nobody takes my authority or department seriously anyways 😅

I just adapt to whatever the people around me are wearing, easy. Right now jeans and hoodie is accepted, yeah babyyyy

T shirt and Jeans... But damn!, some of my seniors even show up in pyjamas sometimes l

mksana2486yI wear a casual shirt and jeans, usually.
That said, there's still some truth to the saying: Don't dress for the job you have but for the job you want to have.
So if you're a dev and have no aspirations, t-shirt and jeans should be fine. If you want to climb the ladder somehow, formals and a clean shave would probably be a good idea.
What do you guys wear to work? I usually go to work in jeans and T-shirt. And I grow a mustache and beard. But my cousin is suggesting me to do clean shave and wear formals to work everyday. He says that it'll make a good impression in the workplace, like I take work seriously.
I do get his point because I automatically give more respect to people who come to office in formals. But I don't feel comfortable working in formals. Moreover my workplace is very casual and my manager, TL, VP all wear jeans (even torn) and tee.
