I'm really amused / shocked by the amount of people here that feel "awkward" or "bothered" in meetings with someone dressed in business casual versus jeans and a t shirt.
I work at a startup in NYC and most of us are dressed very casually, but a few people do dress up / more nicely (especially those that used to work in finance and at those at the C-level). You know how much that bothers people at my company? Not at all. I've never heard it brought up once.
The clothes someone is wearing barely enters my mind at all when I'm conversing / working with them. If the way someone dresses is bothering you and your coworkers to the point of social friction, I seriously suggest you look inwards to see what the problem is.
The irony/hypocrisy in SV is too much to handle sometimes.
