Oh man to know you might have to dress up is criminal!
One of the big projects we were part of was flying the damage after Florida's last major hurricane. We had to have special permission to even be in the area, and headquarters was an airport with no electricity due to the storm. Most of the other companies there were from large corporations and all the pilots had to have on pilot uniforms and look professional. It was 100 degrees, no electricity, and they were sleeping on the floor in the FBO on inflatable mattresses. My wife's aunt and uncle lived a few miles from there and they had electricity. So my business partner stayed with them had a nice AC comfortable bed, warm breakfast, coffee, and felt great.
He put on his standard hot weather "uniform" of an old tee shirt with the sleeves ripped off, and shorts, and flip flops. He came into work all fresh and ready and all the others had slept on a air mattress in the heat and, no shower for days, and no coffee, yet they had to put on the pilot uniform. They were not happy.
That is when we decided that corporate policy was shorts and t-shirt for company uniform. Of course we wore that same thing before then, but that made it official!
