Ladies and Gentlemen,

I don't care how much you paid for them, flip flops are still not appropriate business attire in most offices.

Amen! Not to mention the annoying sound they make as people walk down the hall.

LOLOL - did you see me on my way into work or something? I'm taking a half day and wore sandals and pseudo beach attire (just shucking the jeans for shorts when I breeze through the house at lunchtime)...

For the most part I agree - but if the dress of the office is casual, wouldn't that make it acceptable? Taking into account, of course that the person wearing said sandals isn't sporting any sort of fungal thing and has appropriately clipped their toenails?

That's why I said "most offices." :-D There are exceptions here.

Our office doesn't so much have a dress code as a general guideline - which is basically left up to interpretation:)

Anyway, I wear them on my commute and change into my shoes when I get up to my office, but I get some strange looks when I flip flop through the lobby and up to the elevator.

we've got a few people who do it. Both male and female.

I'm not that fond of it. I dont want to see your toes.

But they are a foot fetish-lover's fantasy! All those chafed, crusty feet displayed like boiled hams, the thong string capturing the yellow-nailed big toes that's just waiting for a kiss....

Are you sure?! Cause then we'll have to declare Seattle out of the 'most offices' category. And don't tell me crocs are appropriate cause then you'd need that brace back on - full time.

the beach is the place flip flops ought to be....

Heh. My office is full casual, and I still refuse to wear those at work. There are limits.

[grubbybastard.livejournal.com]

Amen. Ditto clogs.

I always associate flip-flops with the gym - the only time I have ever worn them in the shower and locker room of the gym as to not get creepy crawlies on my toes. So it is really weird to see people wearing them as "professional" attire when I think they should really be on their way to the shower ;)

Thank you!! I work in a engineering/architectural firm, and not only are people wearing flip flops, there's about 10 people here who just go BAREFOOT instead. We may be business casual, but there's limits, I say.

We are pleased to announce that earlier today, we have posted in our blog our Twelve Rules for Summer Business Casual Attire.
