APs situation certainly looks geared up to be the former of those from the little we've heard. I can't wait to see how this ends.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I like to dress smart for work, much like I will (nearly) always dress for dinner.
Having worked in casual offices, I find I really don't like not having something different to wear at the weekend.
Couldn't give a monkey's what the staff wear. I have my own standards and that's good enough for me.Comment

Also when i see people in suits power dressing the first thing you look for is what they are trying to hide - why do they need to project a persona that is not their own?Comment

When I started working in the city in the '90s nobody told you how to dress but it was clearly expected that you would wear a sharp suit. I had two bespoke suits made, one black and one grey. I began to find women were a lot more flirty when I wore them and started wearing them some weekends.
What's the big deal? Not as if it's Hooters. Or is it?Comment
