Making the Black Friday rounds this weekend, I was struck by how poorly dressed some sales associates are. Here's just one example: An SA at NeimanMarcus had on a well-fitting double-breasted charcoal grey suit, which was very nice. Then, he decided to wear a fire red dress shirt with contrasting collar and cuffs and a yellow paisley necktie. To make sartorial matters worse, the shoes were some kind of tassel loafer made with what could have been crocadile skin.
The man was quite pleasant, knowledgable, and I ended up buying a few things, but his attire was somewhat annoying. This man sells clothing for a living, but can't seem to clothe himself well.
Even Brooks Brothers, traditionally home to conservative, well-dressed SA's had a man who can only be described as Thom Browne gone wrong. Being short and muscular didn't detract this college-age fashion victim from choosing a button-down, french cuff dress shirt, one inch black necktie, and a high-water, high cuffed, short jacketed navy suit.
My question is three-fold. What stores would you say have the best/worst dressed SA's and would the attire of an SA ever alter your purchasing habits. If so, how badly dressed would they have to be?
