I'm attempting to break in some new hiking shoes today, coupled with
shorts and a polo shirt. It took a lot for me to dress down from slacks
and a nice shirt, but now I see nothing wrong with it. Next week I might
wear slacks and a button down, just depends what is clean I guess. If I
wanted to wear a tank top and cut offs I might get some humorous
comments, but I certainly wouldn't be thought less professional. There
are several people here who probably don't even own slacks. When the
customer is in town some of us do dress a little more 'professional',
but not all of us.
This reminds me of a thread about 2 years ago when I first joined the
list about different interview attire. In a recent advanced public
speaking class I mentioned that it is not always appropriate to wear a
suit to an interview. Needless to say, no one in the class agreed with
me. The thread was interesting to me because it pointed out cultural
differences in such U.S. locales like Boston, New York, Dallas, the
South, Silicon Valley, and the Northwest. I think it was a very
informative and subjective thread.
Wow, I bet the people who have subscribed for a while are sick of seeing
this topic...
