Should you “Dress up” to go to work – what do you think?  (This was prompted by an article from the BBC site, Are work suits on the way out? by Tom de Castella).

It ends with this paragraph, and I’ve got a hunch this is right:

“If you put on a tailored suit and pressed shirt you are putting on a suit of armour. You will walk a bit straighter and taller and people will take you more seriously.”

But I also think it is a losing battle in this less than formal, increasingly casual age.

What do you think?
