Big thanks @lolakimono! I think a lot of people do not have a clue what different dress categories are. Nice to see examples. Lets face it....our understanding can change over time.

I find one of the most challenging looks to be Dressy Casual, the southern California version.    I wouldn't even know where to begin to explain examples of what I've seen ...

Better known as California Casual.  I can do it but it is hard to explain.

I think there are a lot of people who don't know that.  I work in a "business casual" office, but many people seem to think that as long as they aren't wearing jeans, they fall within the dress code.  They come to work in sloppy tee shirts and stretch pants.

I think they know it, they just don't care and do whatever works for them.  Like people making a right on a red light when the sign says "no right on red."

I would disagree with you.  I think there are a lot of people who don't know.

Every year the dress code where I work gets "challenged" a little bit more. New people (mostly women) show up wearing things I'd wear to walk the dogs or grocery shop; supervisors either don't notice or choose not to say anything. Thus, the message is that we can wear what we want. I like a bit of occasional anarchy myself, but I guess when it comes to dressing appropriately for work I want to follow the rules. 

Seeing old tv shows and movies with people wearing suits, hats, women in hose and heels to run errands or see a movie (or basically do anything outside the house) makes me laugh. They look terrific, but I sure don't want to have to put on hose to buy groceries! We've taken the casual look too far, though. Pajamas, slippers, and wife beater tees have a place - home.

@sallybusky

Wife beater tees don't belong anywhere.

@Tinkrbl44I think you must object to the name, rather than the t-shirt. If you Google the term, you'll find images for a few different brands and the definition of men's undershirt. I object strongly to a wife beating man; the tees look ok if a guy is putting his recycling out on the curb or getting his mail. IMO they don't belong out in public. It wouldn't have been my choice for a name, but nobody asked me.
