Four days out of 5 at my work most employees are in the office working with customers via phone, email, WebEx, etc. On those days jeans, polo, and casual closed toe shoes of any type (crocs, loafers, tennis shoes, etc) are acceptable. I don't won't to see holy jeans, t-shirts, etc.
When meeting with clients at a refinery/plant, dress like plant personnel dresses. Jeans, a polo, and nice shoes (no crocs, tennis shoes, etc).
When going to a professional conference, sales dinner/lunch, or meeting at a formal office slacks, button down, and nice dress shoes are needed.
In other words, use your head. If I have to get on to someone for inappropriate dress for the occasion, they move to the top of my "first to go list."

For younger employees too, it's always good to be ready to go if your boss wants to take you to a meeting, court, lunch, whatever.
At my firm, we're pretty casual in summer. We have a summer associate/law clerk who comes in only part time, but he wears nice slacks, loafers and button downs to class because he'll come in the office. Not all of our part time summer kids do that. Hence, if I need to pull someone into a meeting, it's gonna be that kid.

Crocs are never acceptable in a business environment. Not even if your job is to sell Crocs.
