True. We all reach an age eventually where we care little for the opinions of our peers on such matters. Wisest are those who make that realisation earlier rather than later!
- SkeuomorphicBee 5y agoThat would limit career prospects in many fields.
- t-writescode 5y agoSo how do we tackle that, because that's bullshit.
- esarbe 5y agoSo does calling out sexism and being socially conscious in general. It still has to be done.
- gumby 5y agoIt’s definitely true. I’m basically a T shirt and shorts guy and my son once told me it is a “flex”. I was surprised, and it really opened my eyes.

- gumby 5y agoBasically any activity-appropriate clothing (per social, not practical, rules). In most cases I can’t be bothered figuring out what clothes to wear. I mean sure, a wedding or a funeral I know, but otherwise? A fancy restaurant? Lawyer meeting? Giving a talk? Who cares? I go to board meetings in my normal clothes, and with my dog, and until my kid said something it didn’t even occur to me to do otherwise. I do remember buying a car years ago and my wife commenting, “At home [europe] they wouldn’t even let you in the door”. In the Vally they just want to do business.
