Comments on: The Suits http://www.odrakir.com/blog/2007/01/18/the-suits/ my site / my stuff / my thoughts / my way Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:52:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Paulo Abrantes http://www.odrakir.com/blog/2007/01/18/the-suits/#comment-6680 Paulo Abrantes Fri, 19 Jan 2007 01:40:35 +0000 http://www.odrakir.com/blog/?p=477#comment-6680 I don't really think that suits are "a gimmick to be accepted" but rather a "must have" in many of the portuguese companies. I work as a software developer and gladly at the place I work we can go casual, although I have many friends who work in companies that "invite" (notice the "") them to wear suits. The only thing they do is sitting in front of the computer developing software, not talking to the client! And I also think that even if you have interaction with the client, there are other ways of dressing that can still make you look profissional without using a suit. But maybe I just say that because I'm still young and naive :D Also, great link about Mark Cuban's blog. My two cents, Paulo I don’t really think that suits are “a gimmick to be accepted” but rather a “must have” in many of the portuguese companies.

Numa outra por onde passei muitas vezes tive de tirar a gravata e despir o casaco para conseguir chegar melhor ás pessoas, o fato e gravata está mal visto. Felizmente agora uso um guarda roupa informal. Experimentem andar de sapatinhos no campo ou andar a visitar obras :D Saúde e bons negócios.

A suit _and a tie_ is a synonym of professionalism, power and therefore respect. Nonetheless I don't use any of them, unless my employer specifies so, but I'm a geek, it's in my blood to hate all of those things even though I do realize that's important to wear a suit in "proper" occasions.
