I no longer wear the low cut shirt, so I’m not endangering anyone’s freedom. Anyway, some people wear sweatpants and stuff, I think that’s a travesty compared to cleavage.
Yes, I work from home 
does depend on context i suppose.
i can say that working as a chamber maid in a building with no air conditioning, a logo-ed long sleeve sweatshirt and nasty nylon trousers were not comfy.
especially when i’m an XS, and the sizes were XL and XXL. not fun having to use a safety pin to keep your trousers up, and when you have to roll up 4 inches of the sleeves and trouser legs.
i would much rather have had a traditional pinny-over-underwear, which at least keeps you cool and fits better, and you LOOK LIKE A CHAMBERMAID, which is what the guests expect to see.
I’m fortunate to work in an industry, and for a company, where jeans are not only acceptable for the employees, but also for the employers (unless of course they’re going to a meeting with a bank person or the like). In the printing industry I find a lot of people wear jeans, and in the graphic arts end of it, it would be impractical to wear a suit, particularly if, like me, one works in a darkroom with chemicals.
Nobody has ever complained to my knowledge.
Years ago, I worked at a grocery store, where the dress code was dark non-denim pants, white shirt and tie. How perfectly absurd! Hauling around crates of diapers, cartons of beer in the cooler and sweeping makes for short-lived shirts and ties - every one of my ties was snagged and damaged.
Fast-forward to two years ago when I was working in a bank’s operations center. “Back-office” doesn’t come close to describing Ops - it’s the kind of place customers never know about where their checks are processed, and for security purposes, it’s best it stays that way. One day, someone gets a burr up their ass and decides that we were a bunch of slobs and that corporate casual and casual Fridays were too casual. Monday through Thursday, we were to be in dress shirts and ties. On Friday, we could let it all hang out and leave the tie at home. But no jeans, no polos, etc. And for what? We didn’t have customer contact - not even by phone.
Now, I’m a tech for another bank at another op center, and we can wear pretty much whatever we want with no dress code. Happily, we’re all clever enough to realize that t-shirts or jeans with holes are over the undefined line, so we’re all dressed quite casual, but nicely. And guess what? We’re all happy and do good work. (I should know - I compile performance metrics for us)
I work at a large nationwide mortgage company, in the wholesale dept. Absolutely no “customer” contact.
We are casual. I wear jeans everyday and shorts in the summer. On the few occasions that we dress business casual for a VIP visit, I have to scrounge around for something to wear.
I can honestly say that I don’t see myself EVER looking for a new job. The pay is good, the people are nice, but the dress code is the main draw. I’ve even been offered more money somewhere else, but I would have to dress up. The idea of wearing skirts, heels and pantyhose during a Texas summer makes me queasy.
We are also one of the more productive offices, with high rates of customer satisfaction and revenues in the tens of millions monthly.
I’m on of the geek types who wear jeans to work. My company is supposedly business casual but all the coders and network geeks wear jeans and no one cares.
There is one problem though. It’s a lot harder to pick up girls on the Metro when wearing jeans. Either they think you’re a tourist or that you’re some lowly worker way beneath them. DC is all about how you dress. I’m tempted to go back to shirt and tie cause I met a lot more people that way then change to jeans when I get to work.
