If you never see clients, there is absolutely no reason to have that strict of a dress code, unless you work at morgan stanley or some shit.

(Nov 13 07, 13:48)Haha, they are one of my clients. I was just at their HQ the other week, heh.
I guess I am looking at this from the wrong angle. In my not so humble opinion, I would take one look at someone who showed up to work in shorts, or a meeting in shorts and not only think but say, "Do you have either no respect for me, or your job - in either case we are not doing business together, or you're fired if you work for me."
Then again, I'm a dreaded "suit" who wears suits, and maybe deep down I wish I could just wear shorts and the like myself.
Actually that's not the case at all, even if I had a choice (which I do) I would still dress the way I do as personally, as vain as it sounds, I look good dressed up, haha. Also, if I ever want to be taken seriously, rocking shorts and flip flops isn't the way to go. Even when my company has "jeans day" or whatever, or jeans every Friday in the Summer, I never wear them.
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have, I guess.
But more power to you, in whatever you wear. Just think long term in what you wear would be my two cents. Just because it may make you feel good, it still may give off the wrong impression.
