Didn't know adults wore tracksuits when not training except in 'emel town centre

Its all about the loungewear these days. Onesies had their day in the sun, this year its all about the snuggle top

It is nice to smarten up for a change though, I always wear a suit to the races.

I used to have a Paul Smith suit that was so comfortable it felt like you weren't wearing any clothes - that could be a bit disconcerting at times.

My current job is the first office job I've had where I don't wear a suit - which makes me sad, but it would be a bit incongruous to do so when the Managing Director doesn't.

My impression is more and more places are getting rid of the necessity of wearing them but any commuter train into London I've been on has shown that any idea of the 'death of the suit' is about as premature as the 'death of the book' was when kindle came out.

Global IT consultancy. Maybe 1% wear a tie, 2% a jacket. Everyone else is chinos/jeans/casual shirts. I'm usually one of the 1% but frequently ditch the tie now.

A current client is a global law firm and they have dress down Fridays - and dress down summers. The whole of July and August are casual as long as they're not meeting a client.

Back in the 90s I worked for a small consultancy who landed a division of Nike as a client. Our boss was old school, we had to be suited and booted with tie every day. Eventually Nike told our MD that we *had* to turn up in casuals - not their style to have suits walking around.

Shirt and tie every work day....a suit if I'm meeting the Home Office  Smiley

Last time I wore shirt & trousers for work was when I was in the mob Cheesy

Don't mind a suit, but never wear them anymore, and not even sure where mine are.

When working, always wear a shirt and suit except Friday.  Most don't do jackets theses days in the offices I work in.  Long time since I have worn a tie, but there are a couple of guys I havd worked with recently who wear ties every day and they do look smarter.  Am sure it is a good career move to do so, but am too old to care enough about it.

I do interim contracts and have worked at more than a dozen companies in various industries over the last few years. With one exception, every company was no-ties at all levels. In one company, there was a rebellion with the establishment of a 'Friday Tie Club'.

The only one with traditional dress was Southern Co-Op, where the men all wear suits and ties and the women, certainly at any management level, power-dress for work every day, not just in suits, but as if they are going to a dinner-dance.

Thought your industry might have followed the doctors in their no tie regime to appear more in tune/aligned Woodsey?

Suit trousers, shirt and shoes for me most days. Sometimes wear a jacket sometimes just a jumper.

Depending on which clients I am meeting I will wear a tie and suit and most Fridays I dress down.

Shirt, Jeans & Shoes

We actually have to talk to new staff occasionally to ensure they don't wear a suit to meetings or exhibitions as we think it portrays the wrong image for our company!
