Surely it depends on what your client expects? I haven't had to for the last 15 years or so.

Yeah I was going to reword it but it posted anyway. Never mind. I don't, for the record, haven't for any job/contract I've worked at. Usually start off smart casual with good intentions then it all goes downhill from there. (Sort of thing you get away with as a developer)

Real contractors wear what they want, you work for your own company, would you tell a plumber what to wear?

Rumour has it that some female clients tell their plumbers what to wear on return visits.

I haven't worn a suit (or a tie) since an interview in July 2005. I dug one of my suits out for an interview last year, but it didn't fit anymore

depends

usually smart shirt + chinos + smart shoes

I almost always have a suit with me for days when I feel a need to smarten up, tie is still optional though
