    nonsense...we all dress very well. What makes them think we're not client focused? :evil:

    LOL. actually it's quite true. Although we might think we do dress well, talk to a person from a fashion/design profession and they will tell you how sucky we all are, even in our best attire. :haha:

    At least for all people I dealt with here in aus, I wouldn't say we dress badly at all.

    Mismatching coloured socks and man made fibres? Pfft...it's harsh pointing the finger at the IT industry. No people I dealt/worked with wears light coloured socks with dark slacks...and man made fibres? Let me see those fashion gurus ironing a pure cotton shirt everyday.

    Messy hair or ponytail execs maybe...bad choice of clothings? I doubt so.

    Lol, I'd rather be in khakis and a singlet than an outrages pink shirt and grey suit topped with a bow. :haha:

    IT professionals dress for comfort, not for a fashion show. Imagine wearing a shirt and tie and slacks......


    ........... while working in a messy garage. Hee.. :D

    Ok, that's a little bit exaggerating the point, but well, I have this one friend who wears shirt and slacks ALL the time...

    ... even when he wears his Man United jersey... tucked into SLACKS! Omigosh that's the worst fashion sense ever. And yeah, he's an IT guy.

    Ermm judging from most of the men in my office (I'm in the I.T. industry), yes they are basically all in collared t-shirts and baggy pants, not to mention the signature backpack or notebook bag :mrgreen:

    And their t-shirts mostly have I.T. brand names on them, but still I find the ladies dress pretty good although they are also in the I.T. industry :shifty: maybe it's just the men...

    LMAO! Yup, djspinnet is right. I dress because I feel comfortable, not because I'm forced to wear certain cloths. I'm doing some labour work, certainly not very suitable if I wear shirts with ties...

  18. That's untrue in my company...

    We work in a casual dress environment, most people are wearing jeans and at-shirts, yet we are required to wear dress shirts, shoes and no jeans, and.

    And here is proof IT people are NOT the worst dressed a phot of a rather well dressed IT guy :)

    Interesting incident once early this year. I normally tend to just show up at various client offices in Tshirt and jeans, unless its an important meeting lar...

    Got asked by by this senior manager about my choice of attire. So I asked him to compare us against those some other CONsultants in his office dressed in suits but continously failed to deliver anything at all, and asked which would he prefer, appearance or results? Never bugged me on it since :)
