    If a client rejected me based on whether I wear a suit or not then I wouldn't want to work there.
    I like how some suits look and enjoy wearing them from a "fashion" point of view. Also you can't really get away from wearing one if you work in the corporate/banking sector.

      Possibly a controversial comment, but I feel more productive when I'm dressed in a suit - as opposed to say, a Friday when it's a casual dress day. Must be psychological though.

        A "sober" suit?

        I've only ever seen you when you're pissed

          even the junior devs at my current gig wear a full suit

          I turned up on day 1 in chino's and a shirt with no tie. I've made no effort to "smarten" up and will probably resist to the point of walking if they did suddenly challenge my sartorial standards

            What I wear on site is the least of my clients worries to be honest.

            They should be far more concerned with what I am doing.

              You would have thought that would be the case..... Some places I have worked at are more concerned with keeping their resource entitlement rather than even thinking about what they are delivering......

                WHS, and the same goes even more so for ties.

                  I guess if you have beard and hair like that then the suit is the last thing they would be worried about...

                    I like all the remarks 'I'll wear what I want, if they don't like it, I walk'.

                    In my many moons of contracting, I have never seen this, as it would be a stupid attitude.

                    I wear what is acceptable in the office I am working in. This can be jeans and t-shirt, it can be suited and booted, but most likely, it's how you'd expect: dress according to their culture, not yours.

                    I get called back to companies I have worked for before, because I don't make life tricky from the get go.
