He he...that's another topic, another forum, but I have some funny stories about that one! When I started in the business consulting biz, we were given a freaking manual about how to dress at the client site. (This was back in the all-suits days.) Long story short: don't wear a $1000 suit; don't wear a $99 suit. Both evoke negative emotions in clients, rational or not. Basically, we were given discount cards to a very middle-of-the-road menswear store in town and told to go buy very conservative, medium-quality suits. I was 21 at the time - that was fine with me.

Kind of funny looking back: the fact that they had that manual to begin with means that, without guidance, people will show up to work in gear from all ends of the quality spectrum!
