would anyone here wear a shirt and tie to show a sense of proffesionalism and smartness about yourself,
NO - I don't even wear a tie to work for gods sake!
Comfort is the priority - wear what makes you feel comfortable.

If you need clothes to express that rather than personality and attitude something is seriously wrong.
