I have worn a suit, shirt and tie to work every day for over forty years and it would make me feel uncomfortable not to.
Fortunately I love ties and own about sixty.

A rather outmoded approach, no? I work in a high performing organisation in which the dress code when not dealing with external people is whatever you are comfortable with and nobody thinks it affects performance in any way but positively. Any modern organisation that is about outcomes and delivery won't care too much about dress code.
Track suit for me.
With trainers.

+1, modern progressive companies with great CEOs like Google and Patagonia are showing the way - happy employees equates to high productivity.

We don't have a dress code so I opted for jeans and shirt. Shirts are just so much easier than anything else, a good default for people like me who like to get it wrong.

This winter has been colder this year. FACT! Tuesday night it got to -2 plus windchill.
No office for me, attire for work is full orange PPE. (Work trousers, over trousers, boots, thermal T-shirt, wind blocker top, bomber jacket, waistcoat, woolly hat and a snood. All topped off by my helmet and head torch!)
I'm now in my 3rd corporate gig - as the main contact between the client and the company I'm pretty used to wearing suits! Previous 2 jobs were also suit and shirt in the office, tie on when seeing clients. Now at a huge global enterprise, but its just any collar and semi smart shoes, usually jeans which was surprising to me. However, as all my clients are lawyers its full suit on whenever I am out and about!
Chinos & shirt or polo shirt for me. Its that from the MD down.

The best parts of retiring from my proper job & going self employed are:
1. Never wearing a tie
2. Being able to drink alcohol while working.

I was about to say that it was a remarkably mild winter, albeit pretty wet!

I know, it's as if The Daily Express is just making up mental crazy weather stories based on nothing more than pure fantasy in an attempt to scare people and sell more papers! http://www.express.co.uk/news/weath...snowbomb-red-alert-UK-coldest-winter-58-years

Work in the NHS and so can wear smart casual, even when dealing with candidates. Tend to just wear golf gear. I do put a suit on for interviewing as I am just old school and feel it creates a better impression.

I always wear a suit when I'm going for interview. I'm amazed how few interviewers offer me the same respect.
