I’ve recently gotten a promotion at work and have had plenty of chances to dress more officy which I have been really enjoying. Today it was pretty humid outside so at first I decided not to wear nylons like I have been doing since my promotion (I just think they provide a very professional touch). After my sister took a couple of pictures it didn’t feel right so ended just putting some on. What do you do and is there a dress code at your job?

I don't think the company I worked for had a dress code. In fact I'm not sure such a thing would be enforceable in Norway except where the company provides a uniform or where the job requires protective clothing (also of course provided by the employer). It certainly would not be allowed to require anything that seemed sexist.
Of course if you were representing the company you were expected to dress smartly but I haven't worn a suit since 1971 nor a tie since 1982 (I dressed male in those days).
I was employed for my technical capabilities not as a clotheshorse.
