It depends on the type of client and how customer facing the project.
Suit about 75% of the time although very rarely a tie.Comment

yep, city work requires a suit, saves me the bother of thinking about what I need to wear.Comment

Brown corduroy jacket with leather elbow pads, open toed sandles with grey socks, faun Farah slacks and a purple nylon shirt seems to go down well with most of my clients.Comment

Always, even if the client generally doesn't. If they have that Friday-come-in-your-PE-kit thing, I compromise by not wearing a tie. Which used to put me in the odd position of having to put a tie on specially at lunchtime to go for lunch in the club.Comment

Hands up anyone who only had one suit and only got it washed, usually in the washing machine regardless of what the label says, at the end of a contract
