What are your views on dress codes at the moment?

What are the general thoughts about dress codes at the moment.

I have been asked to review ours as the standard of dress has slipped slightly over the last couple of years with some people wearing vans, converse or sketcher trainers others wearing hoodies. Most of our branches have a trade counter area with an open plan office, all trade counter and logistics staff are provided with a uniform which they are expected to wear so my question is more aimed at the rest of the office based staff.

My proposed policy is still pretty relaxed and certainly not strict business wear but I'm curious about what other companies are doing, I don't want to be tightening up on our policy whilst other companies are relaxing theirs.

    In our office pre-Covid we were business wear Monday-Thursday and then casual on a Friday. Since coming back we've relaxed it a lot and almost everybody wears jeans/jumpers/converse etc on a daily basis now. We still ask staff to observe the fact it is a work environment (in the summer a few staff members were wearing extremely short dresses or shorts) but other than that we've scrapped imposed business wear almost entirely.
