@hpierrejacques But what about track suits?

@justingordon212

@hpierrejacques I can’t speak on boardrooms because I’m not there yet but, as a male poc, it’s necessary to be taken seriously in the field.

@PhilipLilavois That’s the problem

@hpierrejacques Made same decision when I sold by true company in 2013! Weddings and funerals only!!

@davidrgoldberg Wear I’m trying to be to

@hpierrejacques I agree in principle but I kind of like wearing suits.

@RMSolitayre Like them too, but just not for work, for play at weddings, galas and events

@hpierrejacques As someone in the fashion industry I see the flip side of it. I believe that we should comfortable and happy in our clothes but eradicating professional and formal dress codes creates new issue.

@marissadanid Don’t think they should be removed, just the perception of the status without them

@hpierrejacques Casual > Everything. West coast already knows this. Except for when you look this 😂

@dchase36 Lol boyz 2 men

@hpierrejacques Made that choice in 2016

@hpierrejacques Anyone that judges my business acumen by my attire is not someone I want to do business with.

@hpierrejacques World War I - Americans led by a civilian in a suit closed out the incestual squabbling of a bunch of aristocrats wearing fake medals.

@hpierrejacques I’m torn on this for one reason and one reason only. I have so many suits and dress clothes. What am I going to do with them all?

@hpierrejacques But a good sport coat on the other hand…

@hpierrejacques I have not worn a suit not have I shaved with a razor in nearly a decade.

@hpierrejacques I generally concur but I’d note two things. If you don’t fit in, you might not see the rules around acceptable informal dress codes. Also, if you’re at risk of not being taken seriously then a suit can help you get taken more seriously.

@hpierrejacques Perception formed back when they used to wear suits to the grocery store and to bed. They gradually phased it out to only professional settings. Needs to be phased out completely…only as a choice.
