I wonder what the point is of a casual day if management can still dictate some kind of dress code.

Casual rarely means "whatever you like" in a business environment. Most large companies still have policies that cover casual days. In fact due to the variety of casual wear and the problems enforcing it many companies are starting to go back to "business attire" rather than deal with their employees idea of casual.

Well I've been in places that it seems some of the ladies are wearing stuff that would make a street hooker blush and the guys are in stuff that I woulda done thrown out. Scary thing is most of them were within 10 years older/younger than me.

Indeed. Who's definition of "casual" is used here and how do they know which definition it is?
