I didn't say I don't own professional clothes. For me its a shirt--the ones you iron--a suit jacket and jeans, no tie. It's just that I am not willing to compromise on my interpretation of "business attire". I consider it quite offensive to openly criticize based on looks. If anybody would consider my jeans unfitting then that's their problem as I have a very good reason to wear jeans (exclusively). I wear clothes because I like them and I consider them fitting. On weddings and funerals: Depends on the wedding or funeral, chances are I wont be going to "suit-weddings" and on funerals I reckon the dead person respected me well enough to trust my choice of attire. > So sure, while this is working for you right now, keep it in mind in the future when this bubble bursts. I am not in a bubble. :) I have chosen a profession which is unlikely to die off very soon, I invested a lot into being good in my profession and when my industry is no longer my market then I am in the wrong industry. Edit: For context, I am not an employee, I am a consultant. I don't have a boss, I only have customers. I was an employee before and I didn't like it.
