The Globe and Mail recently featured a no-dress code article:"A Buckinghamshire (England) computer software company is looking to recruit female web coders who are prepared to work naked," Orange News reports. "Nude House, where staff work as nature intended in a 'warm and private' naturist office environment in Amersham, also wants naked male and female sales staff. ...The company web site says: 'New applicants will be required to work in the nude from the time they arrive at work until they leave to go home. Nude means no clothes whatsoever and no shoes either. All new applicants will be naturists and could be males or females.'"
Further digging on the Nude House web site revealed:
"Company founder, 63-year-old Chris Taylor, claims Nude House is the only business in the world whose employees don't wear any clothes. It's apparently every naturist's dream work environment - warm, clean and great fun - and since most of the business is conducted online, nobody needs to know they're naked. Mr. Taylor himself has been a naturist for 20 years and says that hasn't affected his business at all. In fact, it's going so well he's thinking of opening another office, soon.

In case you're wondering why the ad asks specifically for women, it's because Nude House wants their office to be less male-dominated. There are currently seven nude guys working hard over there, and only one woman, so management is looking for more females to balance the number. "Sex does not concern us and is not promoted by us - we merely provide an environment where the staff may be in offices that are all naturists," Taylor told the Daily Telegraph.
In fact, the company is trying very hard to identify job applicants who are only interested in seeing other naked people or trying to have sex with them, since that's not what naturists are about at all. So far, seven women have applied for the wacky job that pays approximately $37,600 a year."

Well, you'd certainly never have to worry about what to wear in the office, and a simple commuter's trench coat will be all you need.
