So...I work with about 800 engineers. Since the pandemic, people are really pushing the dress code...shorts, t-shirts, flip flops, you name it. We don't have strict rules, but generally pants, a shirt with a collar and real shoes are a minimum. I usually wear nice (not torn/worn/shredded) jeans and a polo or button down shirt with black sneakers that are in good shape. Shirt tucked in, with a belt.
Today in the lab, I saw this:
Tattered T-shirt, light gray plaid shorts (that were really short and looked kinda like boxers), grey, yellow, blue pastel striped socks and brown leather dress shoes.
It's a young kid (20's). Please tell me that's not in style right now. I'm not sure he could look more dorky.

I’m in software, so we have a minimal dress code. Our biggest problem is getting the developers to wash their ankles before they put on their flip-flops.

I'm and engineer and I know what the OP means - I tell them what I was told in 1974. "You don't have to get all dolled up, but when the guy who is paying us walks in - he needs to get the idea that the money we are charging him for your time is well worth it - so he keeps on writing those checks" Most guys get this.

My son is an engineer, and he dresses really well in a casual way.
Everything is snug, though, like the young guys like 'em these days. But he's ripped, so he can pull it off.

He's at it again. Here's todays outfit:
Lime green T-shirt Light Blue/white pinstripe shorts with tiny red lobsters on them white sox same brown leather dress shoes.
Honestly, it looks like it has to be intentionally dorky.

If he is doing it on purpose, I find that hilarious.
If he does not know any better though...
