an ex colleague of mine used to turn up in knee length shorts, Hawaiian shirt, flip flops and a lot of "bling" -
the directors put out an email about dress code (no shorts, no tshirts, no jeans and appropriate footwear).. he turned up in a crop top, skirt and high heels (appropriate to the outfit) just in protest. all of it was in the rules (until the day after)
So what changed the day after? Actually, it would be problematic for HR to enforce a rule stating that men can't wear skirts and high heels.

fancy dress - funny thing when you work with a tester, they find every loophole in the rules... after about a month the company stopped saying you "cannot" wear x and said you "must" wear z …. they forgot to say that underwear had to be on the inside... typical test team humour

That's great. I saw that at SQL Bits a few years ago. Quite a good costume.
what ??? sql bits has fancy dress? i'm going dressed as a table.
in all honesty it would be the funniest thing ever if "the stig" got interviewed about the state of devops, GDPR, or anything serious (except Brexit)

Maybe I will go as a wall. But then the developers will say I am not wearing a costume...

A tester walks into work wearing an outfit.
A tester walks into work wearing 2 outfits.
A tester walks into work wearing an outfit and a lizard.

Jasona, I remember that on my first job as a developer trainee, all of us in a group of developers at Bendix Corp wore dress shirts and ties. There were seven of us in two large cubicles and those were not costumes but normal dress for work there.
Well yeah, considering I work someplace where it's generally business casual with the occasional burst of business and some green-suits, this would be a costume.

I'm not paid to solve problems. I'm paid to prevent them.
