No more suits.

At last, not wearing a suit or tie at work is cool!

What exceptions would I make, a funeral maybe, getting my OBE? Probably!

But not much else.

If I can avoid it, I will.

I’m not comfortable and I would rather be respected for what I say and do rather than how I look.

I was told just a few years ago that as a ‘senior professional’ I should be setting an example.

To who? Anyone I respected didn’t give a **** what I was wearing.

Those that might have been bothered, I have no respect for anyway. 

I wonder how many ‘senior professionals’ working from home are dressed up above the waist and below…Oh dear!

Clean, and tidy yes, beyond that it doesn’t matter.

Times have moved on. We used to wear powdered wigs, hose and a codpiece (the good old days). Then we had to wear hats, suits, and ties.

Now…?

I still have about 20 ties in my wardrobe – definitely time for a clear out…

What do you think? Let me know here.
