I look like a tramp most days
I let my hair and my beard grow until they start to annoy me and then I clip the hair to 10 mil and trim the beard... then the process repeats.
I work in a law firm office and they have a smart dress code, with ties and everything. I just ignore it to be honest. I wear smart trousers and shirt, but also my Osiris trainers and a hoodie or a jumper. If they value stupid dress code more than my skills, they can sack me
I never really cared about dressing "to a standard/code". People say it's lack of respect not to dress appropriately, but I say the respect is what you do and how you behave, and not what you are wearing. Maybe I can't afford nice clothes? Screw the dress code!
