When it comes to “fashion" my ensemble usually consists of a long sleeve, (mostly solid or monochromatic color) button up shirt and fairly nice-ish jeans. (Well fitting without being skinny jeans. Generally reccomend looking for jeans online so you could find a better deal than at an outlet store.) Leave the shirt unbuttoned a bit at the top and roll the sleeves up and it gives you a casual yet stylish look. During the winter all you have to do is add a loose wrapped scarf under a jacket and there you go. As for shoes, I wear these but any kind of loafer would do. It doesn't take a lot of work and it's good for just about any occasion.
I've just been looking at group pictures of the people I work with, and not a single one of them is wearing a collared, button-down, or tucked in shirt in any of them.
I think y'all are vastly overestimating what "casual" means around here.
One guy I work with has been known to rock an all-denim ensemble.
Another guy usually rolls in with black jeans, a black Motorhead t-shirt, a huge beard and his hair pulled back in a bun, with a red Papa Smurf type hat to complete the look.
Hell, even some of the C-staff will just go with t-shirts and jeans if they aren't doing press that day, and they're millionaires.
My objective here isn't to figure out what looks good in the overall world of "business casual", it's what looks good while still being safely anonymous within a context of extreme casualness.
Button ups are a pretty glorious middle ground for both men and women, and if you start wearing them all the time, you will feel really comfortable in them, and be appropriate for a wide range of situations. Find some that fit well (which may require some shopping around for the right brand and size) and buy enough for a week, then start collecting color variations and short/long sleeves.
It doesn't make you the dude who is always in a suit, nice jeans make the combo instantly accessible and casual in situations were dressing up isn't appropriate, but a pair of slacks and nice shoes will take it up a notch with out wardrobe reassembly.

wear whatever you feel comfortable/casual in
if you want to dress nice but still casual, then go for a tucked button up/polo. It won't be weird. We have lots of dudes who dress nicely often, but then dress in a t-shirt on other days. Don't over think it. Just do whatever you want and whatever makes you feel good, but don't be afraid of leaving your comfort zone either.
and if you start wearing them all the time, you will feel really comfortable in them,
Exactly. I have a hard time wearing t-shirts now. They generally sit too high up around my neck which is irritating and I just can't pull off those deep v neck shirts. So its button ups for me.
I also agree with just wearing whatever is comfortable for you.
Edit: In related fashion news: I just ordered a pair of faux-leather pants.
I don't like short-sleeve shirts, so I usually wear a solid-colored thermal shirt with a t-shirt underneath, or a t-shirt with an unbuttoned, untucked button-up over it, both with the sleeves rolled up.
So I've got button ups that I could wear, but I'd feel like I would be communicating either that I'm A) gunning for a middle-management position (which I have no interest in) or sneaking out for a job interview at another company, which is the only time I'd actually wear a shirt like that or C) that I'm back in high school, where that was the dress code (don't like polos either, because that was the dress code in elementary school.)
Also I'd have to start ironing, and fuck that (that's why I'm going more with the thermals and less with the button-ups lately.)
I guess what I really want is some sense of confidence that what I'm already wearing is actually fine, looks decent and fits correctly. Living on hand-me downs throughout my childhood meant never really having a sense of what a correctly fitting piece of clothing looks/feels like.
EDIT: Haircuts are another area where I'm just like I hope things are ok because I have no clue what in the hell I'm doing or what I should be asking for, and people with very strong opinions on the matter are probably the last people I want to actually take advice from.
The more stained the plain white t-shirt, the better. It's a good way of showing that you're casual but not a slob. Cut off the sleeves with scissors and let them naturally fray for a more formal look.
Aviators are the new Real-D glasses with lens popped out. In other words, yes.
If your pants don't have "carpenter" written somewhere on them, you're doing it wrong. Tommy Hilfiger logo is optional.
And finally, top off the outfit with a leather trilby. It's summertime, and leather breathes better than any other material known to man.
Scenario: You have survived the nuclear apocalypse, society as we know it has collapsed and all that is left is ruins of once majestic man-made marvels. You need to travel to the Promised Land, a safe zone and your closest human colony.
You'll need to travel through city ruins, a suburb and finally into the woods before you reach the Promised Land's gate.

God I'm so tempted to buy RPG Maker on Steam. It's 66 percent off but still 24 bucks. Over what I should be paying for a game that will only distract me from the many things I should be working on.
The first game I worked on was an RPG Maker game done as part of a student group, and it was terrible.
If you want proof (I can't believe the website still exists), you can check out my terrible as shit attempts at an "anime" style, circa 11 years ago (I did the 6 images at the bottom): http://www.wolverinesoft.org/crisiswolverine/cw1/C.W. Interfaces.htm
I'm glad I've gotten a bit better at drawing since then.
I hope I've gotten a bit better at drawing since then. Please God tell me I've gotten better at drawing since then. <nervous breakdown>
Question though: At what point in the story of Crisis Wolverine: Insurrection Green, are the characters forced to felate a ghostly penis as shown in the second to bottom right image. Is it a minigame?
Don't be ridiculous, he's clearly spitting out phantom cauliflower. Even ghost dicks don't have 5 balls [citation needed].
Which totally makes sense in context and I don't want to spoil it for anybody.
(I don't even remember if I knew what the story of this game was when I was working on it, much less now. All I remember is the robot guy was called Johnny Foreshadow and I remember that in spite of the fact he was just a random dude in the story, I made him a cyclops robot for no other reason than I like robots and nobody cared enough to make me not make him be a robot. Oddly, in developing real games, things rarely shake out this way.)
I've been going to the gym with my co-worker for about a month now. Today, he suggested we do step-reps. After your regular rep, you drop half the weight and do an extra set of reps.
I didn't thin it would be a big deal, but holy crap! I'm really sore! I want to keep going to the gym!
I guess what I really want is some sense of confidence that what I'm already wearing is actually fine, looks decent and fits correctly. Living on hand-me downs throughout my childhood meant never really having a sense of what a correctly fitting piece of clothing looks/feels like.
We can't really say if it fits correctly without pics! Go post in the fashion thread in SE++. But like, if your clothes fit properly, that is 75% of your perceived battle!
