last guy showed up in my office with a tie asked me why no one seems to wear them in our area (resort town with rural surroundings). he was trying to recruit high net worth investment clients and as such visiting local CPA offices and the like.
I told him because we don't have to! told him I get clients based on referrals from other happy clients.
our economic engine is chickens, tourism and small businesses that support them. As such we are results oriented and have no need to signify to some middle management hot air balloon that we belong to the club because we wear a suit and tie. we simply do our jobs.
on a personal note in my 45 years of walking this planet I've seen a negative correlation between desirable traits (intelligence, kindness, honesty) and hours spent wearing a suit & tie. it seems when someone approaches me in a suit and tie they are betting on my paying more attention to their dress than their product.
