I'm curious about people's attitudes about the importance of clothing quality in terms of professional perceptions and career advancement. Obviously, a lot of the people who visit this site are interested in the finer aspects of clothing out of their own personal interest, but how important do you think it is for your career?
I see many people who dress neatly and professionally but either can't afford to spend a lot of money on clothes, or don't know a lot about clothes, or just aren't 'into' clothes or what have you. In your company or industry how important is it that people dress in high-quality clothes? If someone in your company had a neat, professional appearance but tended to wear stuff like cotton-poly blend shirts, Macy's suits and Florsheim shoes, do you think it would it affect his career and the way people perceived him?
