I get this. I once worked for a firm with a very strict dress code for customer facing employees.
Plain, dark suit, white shirt, sober tie, plain belt, shoes without buckles.

The best sales staff in this firm had hand made suits that I could not have afforded. I made do with Magee suits bought in the January sales each year.

There was a point to it though - suited and booted, it changed how we acted and it made for a much more professional organisation.


I always used to wear an ASDA washable suit for about £30, but now I've upgraded to a NEXT washable one which is a bit posher at £100. I usually wear it for a year, then bin it , and buy a new one in September. However the NEXT ones are better quality, so last a little longer, and there's less chance of catching fire if I run.
