would a suit...
...be appropriate these days if you're intentionally trying to blend in?
I'm a community journalist working in the DC suburbs (not downtown), and while khaki's, shirt and tie are always ok, I sometimes feel a little overdressed wearning even only a navy jacket. Wearning a suit at one point let you blend in, but these days, unless you're in some high-powered field in some high-powered city, it seems like the opposite is true.
I'd like to wear a suit to work, but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for all fields, including mine, unless we're talking about the Anderson Coopers of the world. Any advice?
