Review: I had worked in the east and west coasts and find that most office workers in the east wear more appropriately (my standard). Office workers in the west are too casual (T-shirts, jeans). I prefer more formal attire.

Review: Dear Sir: Us human beings, cant buy "class", we can learn "class" at home, college or from our friends or other "well to do" person, from whom we get a good impression of his education and good manners. Dressing is about "class", just like that, if you have it you will look good even in jeans and "alpargatas"(cheap canvas shoes, used by the paisans in Argentina) Thanks.

Review: What many of the previous comments miss is the fact that there is a time and a place for being impeccably dressed. At a conference, business meeting, or interview one should always be sharp. When a business manager meets with subordinates or contractors is not the time to be over- dressed -- this createsszvccc the social barrier and hinders the leadership factor. This article is an important reminder to dress for success -- always! I live in a small town and rarely even go to the grocery store in unpressed clothing. You never know who you're going to run into at the checkout. Thanks for the reminder!

Review: The TV-evangelist snappiness of Reagan's shirt reminds me why we were all so scared of having him as Chief of Staff during the nuclear winters of recent memory. To the rest of the world he is the poster boy of the triumph of form over substance, President as packaging. Bad example. Sartorially, wrong-headed sums up Donald Trump. He looks like that because he can, precisely because of his wealth and influence, not the reverse.

Review: Bill Gates is an exception. If you develop a product that is so revolutionary and technologically advanced that you have no competition, dress isn't as important. When you are in heavy competition with others, however, it is your presence that can tip the scales in your favor. If two financial advisors presented competitve packages that would shape your future, you would most likely select the one in the well-fit suit who appears successful over the one in jeans and a AC/DC T-shirt who appears to have done some research online and in magazines but has never actually been successful themselves. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people who choose to dress in jeans and T-shirts, and no one is judging them in whole due to their dress, but it is a common fact that the packaging is often as important as the product. Mr. Gates may not dress the part himself, but you don't see Windows packaged in a plain white generic box that reads "Windows Operating System" either!

Review: If that is the case, why do we find Bill Gates, the biggest business leader of our times, so shabbily dressed most of the time? I have seen many people aquire business deals, contracts, tenders etc., based upon their confidence and competence. And I know for a fact that these people did not have the slightest idea of how to dress.

Review: What about Steve Jobs? Long black t-shirt, jeans. Is he an exception or will you argue that his style fits his particular business culture? Good grooming helps, yes. But when I attend a seminar, conference, etc., my attention is focused on what the person says. Rarely does the costume make much difference, in the end.

Review: Tony Blair is English, English gents always dress fashionable. Actually this is where fashion transcends.
