Actually, things are changing. Business casual is the norm nowadays whereas 30yrs ago you didn't see any office people in jeans and a polo shirt.
I like wearing suits sometimes, makes me feel like working. |

We can wear jeans in my office every day. Some companies are cool like that, others are lame. The younger the employee, the more likely they are wearing casual clothes. |

That's a good question. I've worked in various countries and office attire really differs.
In Austria my boss wore shorts and socks and sandals in the office, and he was quite high up.
In Germany jeans were ok, but lots of the male managers paired them with a shirt and tie.
In America the men wore suits and the women wore some dodgy cr*p circa 1981...and it was only 2 years ago.
Here I see clients every day so dress smart but to be honest if I didn't I probably would anyway - it saves me the hassle of deciding what to wear in the morning, and keeps my nice clothes for my own time.
I do think women can get away with more though - where I work as long as you're not showing boobs or butt you're ok even though we're surrounded by patients day in day out. |

I want to ask the same question. It keeps me wondering. I guess it all about formality and ettiquette. But its funny. |

They have to represent the reputation or ideologies of the company they work for... esprit de corps |

Because wearing a uniform like everybody else makes people act in uniform ways. What are those leash-like things that businessmen wear around the neck? Strange. |

good question, but i don't think they aren't seeing anyone else.... but if they aren't then there should be no reason to wear a suit unless they just wanna. |

to make them look more important than they really are. only chairmen etc should wear suits i think |

If you want to be successful, dress for success; suits convey a more polished, professional image. At the same time, it is recognized that "casual Friday" attire allows people to be a little less stuffy and a lot more comfortable, though no less professional. |

I think it's because when you look good you tend to act in a more business like manner. That being said, I know some people who dress sharp who don't have a dime, yet I know others who have money, but are slobs. It's all about attitude! |

LOL, I wear BDUs in my office right now... taking a "suit" job... wonder how many people I'll interact with every day. probably not enough to justify a suit, but hey, if they're paying me the big bucks, I might as well look good. :) |

Hello Dear:
I think it's all about first impression. |

Probally because some idiot thinks you will work better in fancy dress (suits/ties/etc)than being casual and relaxed.I think some of these managers want to look at GOOGLE and their working conditions.They might learn something. |

Each workplace sets its own dress code. Often, a place where everyone dresses professionally will be a company that has been in business a long time and has been quite sucessful.
Some of the newer companies promote a casual atmosphere, and often, that deteriorates to jeans and t shirts. Places like that are the home of huge turnover and disgruntled employees. |

They have to look professional and they probably do see someone besides the staff. |

I learned a long time ago that some companies require professional dress code (your suit & tie) so that you will have a better self confidence also, if you are talking by phone with anyone your body language is heared in your voice so it presents the company in a more positive and professional manner. |

I think for many reasons. To promote a sense of bonding and a community, an example, if you are all wearing suits there aren't going to be many discussions about the best trainers. Also, if some managing director or board member walks in they might be put off if they see hunderds of different colour tops etc, that one is wierd, I didn't know how to put it into words. Also, if you go out to lunch, and someone sees you go back into work looking like a tramp, they might think, "hey, that business doesn't look very smart, I don't want to trade with them!" or something like that. I don't mean you are a tramp, but I was just over exageratting the piont.
see ya! |

Because a suit lends itself to a business attitude better than a pair of birks, jeans, and a t-shirt. |

Yeah a bit stupid I think. I think people need to look smart, but doesn't have to be a suit. I mean, you don't notice it after a while anyway. |
