Thanks for clearing some things up NSM. I guess in the world of high academia attire does reflect one’s personality and they way he or she conducts him or herself. But, if I were in your situation (or in the business world, etc.) I wouldn’t pay attention to anyone’s attire - as you put it, an interviewer or whomever can “feel” a person’s personality by his or her responses, without any mentioning about the attire or any other appearance features. That’s why I consider myself different; I don’t follow “society’s” definition of people, whereas I think you do. If you were asked to describe the attire of a high academia/business person, I bet you would say a suit and jacket and tie for men and business formal attire for women. For me, I would be more casual, like a collared shirt and regular pants for men and dresses/skirts/pants for women. But you could even respond saying that people go to work in Hawaiian shirts! (like all the internet companies, who are very loose in their business skills). So I guess it’s just a difference in generation. Maybe it will take longer for Harvard to loosen up, or maybe the trend will go back to the way you see it, but it will change nevertheless. And I don’t care if you wear sleeping clothes to a future employment of mine, I’d still hire you ;)
