"Where I work (electronics company and software development), a golf shirt is dressing up. "

I once went to a meeting with the vice-president of a large bank (not the branch, the whole multi-trillion dollar bank) trying to get a contract for a new product.

I was the tech guy, the rest of the team was marketing and other assorted overdressed types. Before we got there, they trashed me for wearing sandals. When the VP came in, he looked at my feet, shook my hand and said "you must be the tech guy". I looked down and he was also wearing sandals. We got the project.
