What if you lounge about in a suit?

Honestly? Then you probably ought not own a serious suit. They're clothing for the world. Keep them away from the world and they become costume, no better than a gorilla suit.LondonLuke said:What if you lounge about in a suit?

Now things are confused. I go to a meeting and see a small number of men in suits, some in sport coats, some in dress slacks and open collar dress shirts, and the infamous khaki and polo combo. "What do I wear, what do I wear?" I hear it every week. It was a question that was never asked just a few years ago...
I suppose it's too much to expect to get back to suits. I just wish we could get the same standard expectations again.

We also have "Art Director."

Only in certain fields of work in NYC. As a 9-5'er in midtown Manhattan I can tell you I see people who work in art/advertising oriented fields of business who dress like that. The majority of businesses in NYC are not fashion related and most people do not dress like that.LondonLuke said:Many of the people here are going to hate this, but apparently this counts as appropriate work attire in New York
