It’s annoying that you still have to worry about this stuff, despite being one of the best in the business. If your clients really value your shirt more than your reputation, you should be allowed to slap them with both editions of your book! ;)

I love this list thing, it’s got a Kerouac quality about it–ground breaking– in a Filofax sort of way. And look at the SHEEP that are trailing along to follow an Original Thinker.
Figures.
You are doing so much better since your left the Advertising Business. You’ve found your groove, brother. You weren’t meant to be a glassy-eyed hack like Bob Joseph(sorry Bob, but it’s true). You are an Original…and funny as hell. Keep up the good work.
Love, Tom

Get a Harley and use that to go everywhere. Then you can just wear black leather stuff. That way, you only need one wardrobe.

If you go Jobs (in the future, obvy), I think you should vary a bit and go actual turtleneck.

Your color is so beautifully starched in that photo, though, that I hope you went for buying a new dress shirt. You deserve it!

If NYC isn’t clean out of new dress shirts to purchase, perhaps that is an option?

I might go for the Steve Jobs look.

Mock turtlenecks are a sin. Please don’t.

That is another reason why I love to read these articles. You only live on the other side of the world and yet often enough I have this “do you and I share the same cosmos ?” – feeling. Refreshing!

Having been able to dress casually at work, the latest company I work for has a ‘tie policy’.

I don’t think I’ve worn a tie since I married in 2004. It was appropriate then, I feel, but not now – it doesn’t help me to develop things any more competently.

The tag should be deprecated in the dressup markup of modern ‘creative’ business.

Shirt smirt. You have cool glasses and that in and of itself makes up for a lot. You’re good Dude.

As Rudy Vallee says in ‘The Palm Beach Story’, when you’re buying clothing, buy quality, and buy enough so that you have a useful variety.

I tend to be overly formal, so I force myself to dress down a bit once I think someone is comfortable with me. But first time meetings with clients, prospects, whatever – it’s black suit, white shirt, red tie. You still have to dress for success.

And own enough shirts that work to allow for the cleaners’ scheduling issues.

Which, of course, doesn’t help now, does it?

I’m sure I have one you can borrow, but then, Sacramento; New York; handoff issues ensue. Sorry.

The shirt even held its own against our finely-crafted BusinessWeek guest ID. Just in case you opt for The Full Steve…

Jeffrey, I’m with you. I’ve long felt that we all should be living in a kind of pajama colony where uncomfortable duds are banned.
