“I’m going to guess that the younger male generation dress like slobs. Brooks Brothers has no chance.”

I am a employee benefits broker. 35+ years in the business. Still wear a suit and tie for new clients or to give a proposal etc but usually wear button down shirt with tie and kakis for current clients for service work. Always a tie though minimum.

Nearly all my competition mostly young folks wear golf shirts and I have seen even jeans. rarely see a tie.

Insurance Underwriter here, 24 years.

When I first started in the home office it was a suit every day. At some point is was business casual Fridays. Which then became business casual everyday. The it was simply casual Fridays. I’ve worked remote now since 2007 from my home (which, LOL, is shorts and T-shit) but have routine trips back to the home office for meetings, clients, just some face time. It’s pretty much jeans and a nice shirt now. Amazing the dress code change in 20-some years.

I work in a very casual office where I am the most formally dressed person there. I always wear slacks with a long-sleeved dress shirt, usually a button-down. Because it is so hot here, I occasionally wear a short-sleeved button-down, but I never wear polo type shirts to work. I always wear slacks with a long-sleeved dress shirt to church, and a blazer and tie if the weather is cool. It is sad to see people in public in attire better fitted for their backyards.
