        Depends on the gig - at the moment I'm at a software house where it's "business casual" which different people take to mean different things. Some folk it's a suit without a tie, me a shirt and a pair of non-jeans trousers.

        When visiting /working for banks, I tend to wear one of my bespoke suits with a standard (Pink/Hawes/etc) shirt & tie combo.

        Armani suits are fine if you're a standard shape. My body is far too long (& wide now!) to ever look good in anything off the peg.

          I would love to have smart suits on but i dont like to be seen as walking stupid because no one else except very higher management wear suits.

          However, I do come with nice formal shirts with cufflinks and ( non Jeans ) trousers but dress down friday.

          In my Permie days, i used to be as Casual as possible, but have been told by a more experienced Contractor that Contractor needs to "at least look more Professional than permies "

              Despite Mrs BP's efforts I still look like a tramp

                      I just touched 16.5 stone in weight there, I am 6 foot 2 though. I'm on my rowing machine for 90 minutes each day now because I can no longer fit into some very expensive clothes. I will not stop until I get to 14 stone.
