I guess somebody changed the rules. Marissa Myer is a tech CEO, and she looks like a model. |

Show me an email that addresses people bending or breaking the attire standards in an office and I will show you a place where women are bending the rules. In all my time I think I have seen one email because men were not dressed correct for work. The President is a fink. |

Unfortunately, men are stuck to the dress pant / dress shirt scenario. Some places still expect ties. When we do sales, we always ask what the dress code and dress one step above (where possible). That is, if it's shirt and tie, we wear suits. If it's business casual, we put on a tie. If it's casual, we go business casual. And it depends on location. Pretty much most of Florida is casual or business casual because it's too hot to wear a tie at lunch. |
