Just this year we have changed our dress code policy at my office (structural engineereing firm). Previously, at least a tie was required when meeting with clients and preferably in the office. I pointed out in March that the past ten meetings I had been to, I was the only one wearing a tie. Everyone aggreed and now it we just wear slacks and a buttoned shirt.

I wear coat and tie 3-4 days out of my work week. Depends on whats going on but the dry cleaning (50 week) isnt cheap and I updated my wardrobe last winter to the tune of 3,000. :scared

I actually enjoy wearing it, I just feel like if you are going to ask someone for the type of money I deal with you should look like you deserve it.

Wasn't too many years ago that these used to be worn by EVERYONE; just look at any old photo of people at a sporting event, or on a busy street, and its amazing but 99% of the people wore hats like this. My point is, if we can lose the custom of wearing hats, why not ties (wtf purpose do they serve anyways) :shrug:

Suit and tie would be pretty hard being just out of college, only having one suit, and 3 ties. Gotta love the business casual. Makes it easy to pick out outfits in the morning.

i do a lot of business with international customers and i can tell you that in europe at the managerial level they were dress shirts and ties. also for those companies doing busines with the government services oftentimes they will have a dress code because of the many visits by military personnel in dress uniforms.

i just assumed Jack to get into the clubhouse at your golf club ---jacket and tie were mandatory --- like up here at the country club....guess not huh??

Unfortunatley, suit and tie are required. I'm a manager for pharmaceutical company and when in doctors offices, its mandatory.

It's great when its 100 degrees outside.

Jack, maybe you should have found a picture of people applauding, who weren't all wearing formal wear?


We are becoming a nation of bums, whose overall dress is catching up to our moral, and ethical values.

I was at the bank last week, and asked why no one had a suit on in there. I was told by one of the senior vice presidents that their new policy was business casual from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

I felt like I was in a Kinkos, for Christ's sake!

why would you care what they wear at your bank :shrug:

 

[yyz]

For that matter, why would you care what they wear anywhere?

i don't. just wondering what the purpose of wearing a suit and tie is, that's all.

 

[yyz]

The purpose is "appearance"......"image".

Why do you put on deodorant? Comb your hair? Why do stores sell irons? Why do people buy new clothes, when the old ones still fit?


A tie is not really uncomfortable, is it?

a fading custom, obviously.

Why do you put on deodorant? Comb your hair?

that's called personal hygiene

A tie is not really uncomfortable, is it?

yes, it is, especially in 90+ degree weather.
