I work in IT. We have a culture that basically says the more slovenly you dress, it must be because you have the skills to get away with it. I wear polo shirts and jeans with tennis shoes most days.

Executives also wear suits. I don't see them often. Politicians often wear suits. They are often trying to sell me something that I don't want.
When I was head of IT for a software company I wore shorts, polo and tennis shoes in the office or at the customer site. It was SoCal and it was always warm.

Nowdays it is dress slacks and shoes with a polo. Coat now and then as well, but I actually like the coat.
