Wouldn't it be nice if your job didn't involve wearing something starched and confining every day?

While dress guidelines vary from company to company, some jobs trade traditional business attire in favor of a more casual sense of style, whether it's done daily or only occasionally. Other companies may favor T-shirts and jeans to collared shirts and ties.


Often, what constitutes a dress code comes down to a matter of company culture, your role at your job and how much customer interaction you have while you're there. Technology, design or manual labor jobs tend to be a little more lax, while jobs that involve face-to-face customer interaction tend to be all business.

The general rule to remember is that sloppy and disheveled are not part of the rules, so whether you're required to wear corporate casual or t-shirts and jeans, you're still a reflection of the company's image. So try to keep it clean.

Here are a few jobs that tend to keep it casual:

1. Electrician
What they do: Install, connect and maintain electrical systems and controls for homes, businesses, factories and other purposes.

What about the job allows it: Because this job involves freedom to bend, stretch or climb to work in different areas, but also calls for appropriate flame-resistant or retardant personal protection, workers do not dress corporate casual. Instead, it's important for electricians to have the proper safety gear and most follow a general uniform of t-shirts or long-sleeved shirts and jeans.
What it pays: The median annual salary is $40,000.

2. Rock Critic
What they do: Write reviews of band albums, concerts and related news and the relations rock has to society, pop culture and previously established musical works and talent. They also conduct interviews with people involved in the industry.

What about the job allows it: In certain environments or for special events, rock critics may dress formally, but due to the nature of their job, rock critics generally adapt a style all of their own. This includes t-shirts and jeans, business casual, business suits and everything in between.
What it pays: The median annual salary is $35,000.
