Does anyone get mocked for over-dressing at work?

Dress well, be confident, don't apologize for it, and disregard how others want you to dress.

Amen, brother. Amen!

Listen. Ignore. Keep styling!

I hardly use a tie but u consider myself well dressed, and in some occasions other colleagues were always laughing by the way I overdressed. My statement once was
: I am not the one overdressing, you are the ones that look like sh...t

End of the story

So here's an update almost a year later...

I took most people's advice and bought better fitting clothing, shoes and sport coats. I often wear a sport coat with odd trousers and a pocket square. Over time, people started questioning less and started to compliment more. Actually, I've started to get a lot of compliments from co-workers. In addition, some colleagues have started to follow in my footsteps (buying sport coats and pocket squares), yet there's still the question about the quality of clothes they're purchasing.

All in all, it seems to be more accepted. Thanks for all the helpful, and some not so helpful, responses.

Bond is a cad. He wears dinner jackets during the day.

I used to get mocked for dressing nice to school. And I went to a "preppy" high school, where everyone was dressed in shirts, chinos and leather shoes (not school uniform), but the fit was terrible and they didn't know how to combine clothes and fabrics.
The funny thing is that I don't come from a rich family, and that's why they mock me. Everyone else is children of billionaires and millionaires, and therefor is it for granted that they dress nice. They laughed me at because I didn't wear Polo Ralph Lauren, which I don't like, but instead I wore quality brands and MTM clothes.

Hate Fu*king snobs
