Work environment

Here's something I've wondered about. What is your work environment? How does the atmosphere you're in and/or the work you do affect how you dress? When many people hear "dress well," they automatically think "dress up," which means a suit. However, that's not the case. For

@Brian McGuire

, wearing a suit can be an important part of the image he needs to send to his clients. For

@Richard Pollock

, wearing a suit not only wouldn't make sense, it could be unsafe. But there's no doubt he dresses WELL every day.

For some of us, the atmosphere we're in affects how we present ourselves. For me, a well fitted OCBD and chinos, paired with well polished shoes, still has me a step above (at least) many of the people around me in the office. For me, that's good enough. Wearing a suit would be nice, but I would stick out like a sore thumb.

What's your environment and how do you fit in, yet stand out?
