In some situations a smartly dressed team may edge it slightly over a room full of 'creative millennials' but it is highly dependant on what you are selling, the audience and so on.

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
