Hats and double breasted jackets in airport food courts, with all the sweat panted and pajama wearing people, -the contrast just looks silly to me.
Just my opinion, I may be wrong

Word is, the lipstick is optional but the hat is not.

The more contrast, the better. We are the only protectors of our "brand," and it's only worth what we demand for it, both in terms of respect, and in terms of compensation.

Besides, there's something to be said for professional pride. Looking the part makes one feel the part, to a degree.

Sadly, most people don't (seem to) care, which is ironic, considering they've likely invested more in their career than their predecessors!

I just want black so I can color match my pants from Wal-mart.
