Depending on the "type of business climate". Office wear has people with many different styles, so it would be no problem, again, it depends on the type of business environment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just buy what I like, If its has a brand name its Ok, if this is what I like, but I have never gone to a Designer Store owned by a Particular Brand. I think many of the clothes are made in various Asian Pacific Location and in China. So, I don't put a lot of concern about it. there are some things I like by brand, because they are made better. I like to buy Stacy Adam's Shoes, the "Madison Model", ( Retail: $120), I have a sole protector added at a shoe shop before I wear it, for $27. So the shoe ends up with around $150 invested in it. but now I see all sorts of shoes with Stacy Adams name on it, some with cheap plastic soles. I stick with their traditional brand and model, Madison. the one with cheap plastic soles, some look good on top, but the shoe shop does not like adding sole protectors to the plastic bottom shoes, I only own a few pair with plastic bottom soles, "only to wear on rainy and wet days". When it comes to clothes, I've seen some by brand that I like, but often they can be found in a variety of stores, without going to the "Designer's Store". When I was in HKG years ago, I noticed on the night market, one could buy any brand, for very small amounts. It changed my perceptions about wasting too much money on a brand name. I am very conscience of "material quality", I like good light weight well sewn materials. There are times the best quality of materials can be found at high end places, but at times it can be found in other locations. From what I have gathered, some designers make clothes that are specific to their brand store, and THEN, they mass reproduce it to sell a less quality material quality of the design to their bulk distributors. I see people pay $65-85 upwards for shirts, I don't do that, because I wear a shirt once and it is sent to the cleaners, $25-35 is enough for a shirt generally for me. One Items I've found that is frustrating is "belts", I don't see why they can't just make it out of 100% leather !!!! I don't like that so many are made of some simulated material, which one does not find out until it cracks. I guess I have to switch to the $65-Upward belts to get the real thing. When it comes to ties, I like the light weight silk ties, more than I like the bulky material some ties are made of. I had lots of pants made in Thailand, the good thing about having it made was that I could get "1/2" lining without the high cost of commercial brands in stores. I would like to have a trip to a location and have some made, but at present, I have more than 60 pairs of dress slacks, so I don't really need any at the moment.
