I think that's the standard these days unless you work out at a private gym or at home. However I've gotten away with it (well, partly) at my local gym. I work out at a small gym at a local community center. In the early mornings it is usually empty- so one day I decided to do a few sets of my exercises shirtless.

I have not worked at a job that requires spending time outdoors- I work in a lab, which, logically, for safety reasons has a dress code (lab coat, long pants, closed-toed shoes) and requires wearing personal protective equipment. However if I were working in construction, landscaping or other similar profession/trades that requires physical exertion or working long hours outdoors, I don't see a problem with guys working shirtless in hot weather, and personally will also be doing so. On hot days, I'm usually shirtless when doing yardwork or when exercising outside mainly to keep cool and work on the tan. A sweaty clinging shirt is one of the most uncomfortable thing to be wearing on a hot summer day. However one thing I don't agree on is working shirtless in an indoor office environment-that shows a lack of professionalism...

agreed- i used to be shirtless-shy when I was a kid but now I'm shirtless much of the time at home and also when exercising or walking outside when it's hot

shirtless year-round, usually with underwear on (boxers/boxer-briefs) but occasionally naked on hot nights

Second that... the sweaty clinging shirt is why I prefer to go without wearing one when outside exercising or doing yardwork when it's hot.
