"Oh and shirt is mandatory"

So wait, coding without a shirt on is how a thing?

My god man.

If there is air conditioning, slacks shouldn't be a problem though shorts aren't extraordinarily unsuitable.

You can wear a shirt man.

I think the contrast is shirt vs. t-shirt, rather than shirt vs. bare chest.

In some countries a "shirt" means specifically a button-down. In the same way that "slacks" means long pants. So this likely just means that a button-down is required rather than a t-shirt.

A button down shirt is one where the collar is buttoned to the yoke. I think you mean a button up shirt, one that has a placket and buttons in the front versus a pull over or t-shirt.
