I am required, but I am not technical. Financial consultant for a government client.
If you have to, I suggest getting the best pants you can afford. I wear dress pants that are slim fit but have some stretch to them, making them infinitely more comfortable.
It sucks horribly. I am very into fashion and dressing up and buy nice clothes, but holy shit ties on a daily basis are the worst thing ever. And I don't even get to wear fun formal wear - I am stuck in conservative colors and such.
I am going back to school this Fall and am looking forward to dressing more casually day-to-day.
- artsyxxx 8y agoTotally understand your sentiment. If I may ask, when you look at men like Don Draper in a suit and tie or politicians etc. do you surmise they too are uncomfortable? In other words do you believe it's impossible to be comfortable in a suit and tie? In my case, like a swaddled baby I'm happy as a clam in strawberry jam. Ironically, tightening the tie makes me more comfortable. I agree on getting the best you can afford. I'd estimate paying about 2-4% of pre-tax income yearly and buying Brooks Brothers suits exclusively. There are added benefits to $1000+ suits. And shirt collars matter. Stiffer collars at your exact neck size distribute the pressure of the tie and make it super comfortable. At this point my suit is as indenspensible and trusty as my top-of-the line retina MacBook Pro. I've understood why it's called an investment. Edit: the same rule applies to shoes and of course I'm talking sticker price, not register price. There are seasonal sales.
