Hairstyle and appearence in a PC World

[Ming the Merciless]

I thought everyone - apart from male school teachers and funeral directors - wore suits without ties these days?

Suits went out in the late 90s in many places. Smart casual being the term used since. Which basically translates to trousers, collared shirt and shoes.

I used to work in a large corporate environment. It's amazing how explicit the dress code expectations are for men compared to women.

Wear that in my place of work and unless you work in Sales and are actually meeting a customer that day, you would be sniggered at for being over dressed. I work for a tech company and if we see someone in a full suit then rumours start flying about us floating on the stock market or being bought out by a hedge fund.

They always warn us if someone important from the States is coming so we can dress in "suitable business attire."

I cannot help noticing that a lot of the younger doctors we get now are dressed in a very casual manner. In the old days they wore suits now it is jeans and open neck shirts for the blokes and similar casual dress for the women. They do seem to be competent fortunately.

Infection control innit. Short sleeves, no tie, no watch.

Don't let @Accy cyclist see this!!! He'll be ordering one..

Has anyone noticed how we never see @Accy cyclist and Michael Portillo at the same time?

There is never an excuse for wearing brown shoes.

I have a large collection of brown shoes. I am scum. Hey ho.

Are we not rolling up jacket sleeves any more?

I fondly remember the days when even dustmen wore ties. Now we strugglemto get politicians to wear them outside of parliament.

What exactly is it about ties, in particular that delivers such a thrill for you .??

I've just got a fantastic new waterproof coat that comes all the way down to my ankles..

It's going to be great for winter work.

But in addition to full coverage.

I reckon it's got 'Gaffer' written all over it.

The other people who work here have only got short versions of the same make.

So i'm really hoping it will lend me an extra air of authority

There's certain websites where you could make a fortune with those kind of things, so 'my mate' tells me. 😂

And there was me posting a pic on other social media for free.!!

This is why I'm not a multi bllionairess yet.

Neglecting to cash in at every opportunity .

And clearly paying my people too much, if they buy new coats before me..

I wore a tweed sports jacket with shirt and tie to work. It was only the lower orders who wore suits. This was in 1960"s and 70's. Nowadays I think those nominally on a similar scale go for tee shirts
