I like to present a smart front to my clients and it marks me out as different from the permies. My dress down Friday therefore has to allow for this so my Ltd company policy is go commando and not necessarily on Fridays.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time -

Well normally I would - OK, not a pinstripe, just so passé - but the role here is an Interim Management thing and I really have to adhere to the prevailing culture. Hell, I even have to deal with Human Remains on a daily basis...Originally posted by sasguru View PostAlways dress impeccably in a pin-stripe and expensive shoes.

That's 'cos I'm not an IT geek, perhaps? Stopped being one of them 16 years ago when I realised I was on my 13th OS and 7th programming language and needed to reskill all over again.Originally posted by snaw View PostBut he looks really cool. Not like an IT geek at all.
As for the T-shirt thing, a plain but well made one does look tidier than a business shirt with out a tie. And wearing a tie these days is even more geeky-looking - you look like a wannabe PwC drone.
However, go into one of the finance houses that still wear suits and it's the Saville Row look all the way. Horses for courses, at the end of the day.Blog? What blog...?

Wrong. Wearing a suit and a black t-shirt makes you look like a Steve Jobs wannabe and puts you firmly in the IT sphere. It's a step away from novelty ties.Originally posted by malvolio View PostThat's 'cos I'm not an IT geek, perhaps?
