Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4091013, member: 1414"] I think it’s a perception that isn’t grounded in reality and hasn’t been in decades. You’re not that much older than me. I recall wearing wool suits to walk to the courthouse in the Kansas City summer. Miserable and pointless. Then I moved to Silicon Valley in 96 and that was the end of that. Golf shirts and khakis, sometimes shorts. But those people were taking their work very seriously. Our lead EY auditor told me they were told by every client, no jackets, no ties, it’s not welcome. Suits are elitist. Most young people starting a career can’t afford to drop $3k on suits, shoes, shirts and ties, plus the ongoing dry cleaning costs. Blue collar people often won’t own one. And women were always left out. Those suits my female law school classmates wore in the 90s were hideous. They could make swimsuit models look bleh. [/QUOTE]
