[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wear nice dress slacks, a blouse and a blazer. Not that difficult. [/quote]

I do not own any of those articles of clothing. It would be a huge expense to buy that, especially if I had to buy enough to be in the office five days a week. [/quote]

Did you not work before 2020?[/quote]

Of course I did, but my fed job was business casual. I had one suit for when I had a big meeting. Internal facing job 98% of the time. [/quote]

+1. My DH wore suits for the first fifteen years of his career. His 99% internally facing agency went to business casual about a decade ago.  He wears khakis or equivalent and an open-collar button down shirt daily.  Same shirts but nice jeans on Fridays.  Of course the senior leaders in the front office who have to go to the Hill or even the White House wear suits.

He finally gave away all his nice suits since they have become dated, fashion-wise.  He purchased one new one for dress occasions but that's it. Going back to full business attire daily would definitely be an expense.   [/quote]
