here's why: http://putthison.com/post/49277992157/professionalism-severa...

The undertaker at the pet cemetery only buries dead animals, why would they care what he wears? The answer is because other people exist.

People who bury dead animals interact with owners of that animals; I only interact with colleagues and I can't imagine them caring what I wear.

We do. We don't tell you, and if we're any good we don't show it, but we notice and we draw conclusions about you.
They don't wear anything fancy too en masse.

I'm comfortable at being more or less adequately dressed comparatively.
