i think I have pretty good style...it is all my style, not shitty suits or trendy clothes though
i think everyone shoud have their own style and not go with the masses...whatever you are comfortable in should be "your" style, and each person is different
the only thing I think should be banned though, is advertisment clothes....shit you buy that has the name of the company all over it...that is just silly shit
honestly ... I used to dress nice when i had ti impress people (I was a Stockbroker) and I got into this because i was tired of it ... I like to hop out of the shower and put on some jeans and a t-shirt ... in this biz the biggest slob can be worth 100 mil ... you never know ... so you treat the little guy the same way you would the big dog ....atleast I do

exactly....one thing this biz has taught me, is that the guy sitting across the room from you in the torn t-shirt and faded jeans could be making more in that one year than you have made your entire life
A lot of people these days simply don't know how to dress well. Or they're too lazy or careless to bother.
I've seen people wear jeans to a funeral and ratty t-shirts and sandals to job interviews.
They say clothes don't make the person - but I tend to think clothes are usually a reflection of that person. I'd hire a well-dressed person before giving consideration to someone who couldn't be bothered to at least make a modicum effort to look presentable.
As far as how I dress, well I think I dress TOO WELL. Yeah, you read right. Sometimes I get attention I would not want - perhaps the fact that im 6ft3 200lbs doesn't help the cause
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
People dress differently in Phoenix than in Boston. Amazing how I've only touched my suits a few times this last year, however, in Boston was dressing up on a regular basis. Even though my job doesn't call for it, something always poped up.

and you are exactly the type of person I would never work for, one that judged my work ability by the way I looked.
I have blue hair, 3/4 inch holes in my ears, ratty jeans and always t-shirts.
the jeans I am wearing right now cost me $115, my t-shirt was $45, the plugs for my ears were $80, my hair i did myself, my shoes cost $145
what makes me different in my work ability because I chose to spend my money on clothes that fit MY style, instead of a button down and slacks?
clothes are a reflection of a person, i will agree with that...most of my clothes are fun, outgoing and spark conversation...but i guess button down long sleeve dress shirts that all look the same and are BORING are what makes a person a better worker, huh?
Your crew has style .... I can dress it up when i need to but being married for 9 years .... I'm not really trying to impress the girls. But i do respect style ..

personally .. I would never hire a guy in a suit to do design work ... it shows no creativity ... I want a guy that thinks creative and isn't afraid to express it .... sounds like your definitely not afraid to express yourself ..

AMEN!!!!!!
I got so tired of the suit & noose. don't mind wearing it for parties/occasions, but I'll never go back to corporate america.
I don't think anyone is implying you need to wear a suit & tie everywhere you go, but I think the North American mentality is pretty clear: People, generally, have very little regard for their appearance. Personally, I've always felt that you should take pride in the way you present yourself.
Sure jeans and a t-shirt can be comfortable, I even dressed this way for the poker tourney (wrongly expecting a long night!), but for the events I had on dress pants and dress shirt. Guess what, I was totally comfortable.
Anyhow, I think it's just the mentality and one that was cemented by dating Eastern European ladies who wouldn't be caught dead wearing track pants and sneakers - even for a quick run to the corner store.

I never said it had to be "long sleeve, button-down dress shirts". You're using extremes as examples to denegrate my earlier opinion.
There's plenty of acceptable latitude between dressing slovenly or wearing a tux.
Aside from owning my own company, I also work for a large credit card company call centre - that has a dress code policy. The reason they give for the dress code is employees tend to act in a more formal, professional business manner when they look the part...they command more respect. From a client's perspective - I'd be more willing to take financial advice from someone dressed appropriately than from some idiot who looks like they just crawled in from an all-night rave party.
Personally, when I'm just working around the office or studio, I dress in jeans and a sweatshirt (or similiar). But if I'm out meeting with clients or models, I always dress in business casual (or similiar).
But that's just me. Perhaps I'm just old school in the way I think.

I disagree, he is talking about going to a job interview. There are time and place for everything, if you think keeping your own style and don't give a shit about how your employers think because if he doen't like how you dress then he isnt the type of person you want to work with. That's pretty naive man... the boss doen't have time to get to know you to know that you're a good workout so you just have to adapt.

nope. I will NEVER EVER wear a suit...ever
i don't care how good of a job it is....the most I will do is a short sleeved button down shirt with khaki cargos
my resume/past experience speaks for itself, and any person I have worked for or with knows that....and if you don't wanna work with me causwe I showed up in t-shirts and ripped jeans, then fine, i don't wanna work with you either
and let me follow all this up....I have worn t-shirt and jeans for almost 15 years now, i don't even USE a closet, cause I have NOTHING to hang up. I have never been turned down a job, and I have never lost any work because of my appearance.
My business partner has full tattoo sleeves, pierced everything....I have tattoos on each of my arms, and huge gaping holes in my ears...do you really think us dressing up business casual makes a difference when there is steel coming out our heads in wierd places? nope...they care about our resume, plain and simple...we know our shit, and that is all people working with us care about.
what a joke, the salvation army has better clothes than this
now I do have to agree with you here...but i think these girls are trying to have style, but just can't for some odd reason
it looks exactly like they found a copy of the fore play catalog or say foreplaycatalog.com and thought they came across something no one else has seen....and decided to hooker it up for night
