If you shag about in jeans and a tshirt, how can you even convince yourself that you really take yourself seriously?
I agree.
However. Most technical people will stereotype you as dumb. This is largely justified considering the sort of people they see in suits. Luckily, technical guys are generally reasonable.
Where do you guys get your ties? It would be nice to just buy a complete spectrum of ties in one go instead of getting them one by one...
Re: ties, I think it is far better to take your time with buying them. People really miss a trick when they buy ties. A fine tie collection gives you a great opportunity to discretely show character. It is the height of style and refinement to be able to show flair and imagination within a strict set of rules - much as a poet might show their genius through use of the sonnet form. A classically tailored suit, a white shirt, shiny black shoes, and a fantastic tie with something playful or distinctive as a pattern is far more eye catching and debonair than a gaudy suit, a flash stripe, multicoloured shirt, brown shoes (shudder) or whatever could ever be.
Take your time finding ties, and try to reflect a little of yourself in them.
