my office had casual fridays, but we didn't produce our numbers so it ended. The philosphy of my boss is: your clothes reflect your attitude and focus. I agree. I wore my regular clothes every friday and always made my quota.

You're correct. And it reflects your respect for others around you (nevermind yourself). Despite all the denials, it really does. That is the point of dressing for public. Show it some respect.
As it is, it won't be long before people at funerals (and I've seen it already at weddings) will be looking like !$#@!$#@. FGS people, it's a sign of RESPECT. You show up looking like a gangsta when you meet me for a date the 1st time - you're history. You didn't care enough about me to dress up - well, that's just it.
Incidentally, the "comfort" excuse is way overrated. The only thing about looking really nice that's uncomfortable for me is "high-heeled" shoes (which are often optional).
Are you a traffic cop?
