I'm technically not supposed to be wearing jeans, but I get away with it. Maybe because I'm a student and no one expects me to be really professional? Or because I wear more formal tops (or stick with black) and my jeans are usually very dark. I will be buying some non-jean pants soon though.
Either way, I don't see what the big deal is to not wear jeans at work. People always seem to be complaining about it here.

Try to get them to understand that not all creatives meet with the client. That there should be an exception to the rule. And if not ask for money to invest in your work attire.

I worked in a situation where in the same year the boss board asked the agency to all wear 'business casual' and that we were, more or less, frowned upon if we didn't drive the client car line and, of course, encouraged to buy new.

Oh! That's probably another reason why I can wear jeans sometimes. I hardly go to meetings. I'm the only web person in my department.

just buy some black dress pants without pleats and some decent shoes, wear your button downs with that.
I can still wear jeans, sneakers and track jackets at work, so Im pretty lucky.

Whatever you do, like mrdbolina said, do not get pleated pants! Nothing says "these pleats compensate for my inverted penis" more than pleated pants.

Yeah same goes at my work. It basically means a suit for me minus tie. I don't wear a jacket as it too warm here. Some black leather shoes, flat front pin stripe trousers and a business shirt is the go for me.
Yes it sucks ass, people in suits like dealing with people in suits.
