I work for a tech start-up, everyone above me basically has a PhD.
I dress down for work because I don’t want to A) feel out of place and B) draw attention from dressing better than my boss.
My boss typically wears ratty jeans and a t-shirt (often with graphics on them). I opt for nice jeans and a plain colored shirt most days.
Much rather this than have to wear a suit everyday, but I’ve got all sorts of polos, button-downs, and nice khakis I don’t bother to wear (but have worn at previous companies that were larger and more formal).
Doesn’t bother me, but I definitely know I alter my choices to fit with group dynamics.
