I moved from the corporate world back into Education. When I was out in Industry ( as us Ed folks call it ) I wore camo pants and whatever shirt was clean. One day, I went out to buy a Washer-Dryer looking like this and could not get a lick of service.
Now, when I wear my sport coat, turtle neck, and slacks, I can get all the service I want.
I don't really think that dressing well does anything for my ability to teach or to code, but it makes a huge difference in how people react to me. In a business environment where you have a lot of contacts with clients, that can be extremely important.
