We now have two casual Fridays a month.
At the university we have at least four casual Fridays a month, sometimes five. Same for casual Mondays through Thursdays.
As a male academic my clothing costs run into the tens of dollars a year.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you have tweed? It's good for stopping arrows.

Oh crap. I misplaced the actual ticket. Can I show up in court without it? Or should I spend the extra 75 minutes to go home and find it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As an unemployed person, my clothing costs would run more than that.
It's not a cost thing for me -- the jeans that were stolen cost more than most of my work pants. It's the additional variety I want.

They're the ones who are ticketing you. Shouldn't they have all the information? It's definitely not worth looking for if there's any chance it could make you late. Courts really frown on late.

I should have plenty of time to go home first if I leave now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Same for the company I work for. One of the perks of working here.

It's becoming clear to me that I really need a job with a loose dress code, even though they tend to pay less. I've been working office jobs for years and years and years, and I can't keep decent work clothes in my closet.

The dress code here is looser than at my previous job -- guys are often in polo shirts. No T-shirts without collars, no jeans or cords, no running shoes, no sweats, no shorts, no sandals without back strap, always wear hose/socks/tights/whatever, always sleeves. I think guys are also supposed to tuck in their shirts, but that's not observed.
I like it. I dress a little bit more conservatively than the rules allow, primarily to mitigate boobie staring.

Our dress code is business casual, which means we can even get away with t-shirts (as long as they aren't blatantly undershirts or offensive) and jeans. I have a whole drawerful of ties I haven't used in over a decade (what with having been here 11+ years). I tend to still go with the collared shirts, but sometimes I will allow myself to dress down on a Friday.
