yes, really...........If you can get over the SF groupthink.

This is not about what looks good, what you prefer, etc................this is about creating a standard or middle-ground that all people can align themselves with and consistently interpret so as to avoid what the OP doesn't want.

personally, I wish I could wear grey trousers and a blue broadcloth button down everyday.......would make my life so much easier.

My post was not SF groupthink. It is my feeling.

I'm running a 501(c)(3) political nonprofit. My employees will be interacting extensively with legislators, Hill members, administrative agency personnel, the media, career civil servants, lobbyists, trade association reps, and activist organizations who spend their time on Capital Hill. Hence ... conservative business dress.

You'd think that little needs to be said to them on this ... but I"m telling you, even a large number of Congressional staffers dress life a sartorial train wreck. Hence, "dress professional and appropriately" only means something if you know what "dressing professionally and appropriately" means and a lot of these people don't.
