> No one needs to wear any clothes at all, or at most a paper bag would do. Clothes aren't optional because of public indecency laws and also because most places don't have perfect weather year-round. A paper bag won't do because it'll rip in a couple of minutes, or not offer enough protection against the elements. Same deal with a plastic bag or anything else that's not real clothing. Being shirtless or barefoot restricts your entry to many establishments, but if you don't care about those places then yeah shirts and shoes are optional. All the same, no one needs to wear expensive clothes. If they cover you up, keep you warm, and keep you employable, they're good enough. For a programmer that may mean free swag t-shirt and jeans, and for a rich banker, a $2k suit. But wearing suits every day would be a pointless indulgence for the programmer and wearing $20k suits every day would also be a waste of money for the banker. (I have no idea how much "high-powered finance" suits cost, numbers are estimates)
