It doesn’t fit my style. Personally I think ties are the way to go and tell girls you’re a man. I like more serious “men’s” wear and have never been able to pull of the more flamboyant colors and stuff. That being said, if you can pull off the dapper look, you’d be more like Andre from Outkast.
I had a professor who used to wear only bow ties. Strange dude, 6’7 red head. But he was BSD, bc he was part of a group that tried to purchase a big NBA franchise.
I don’t mind wearing a quality shirt/tie/suit, but if I ran my own firm, we’d probably be business casual. Or I’d just work from home. Whenever I do work from home I’m suddenly struck by how much more comfortable it is to work in a space that is exclusively mine, where I can wear a hoodie and put my feet up on a desk if I feel like it.
I don’t have a problem with the people who do the initial thing. You don’t get to decide what your parents name you and if they gave you a crappy first name but a decent middle name, it’s the easiest route. Sure, you could just ignore the crappy first name and go by your middle name but that would confuse the heck out of people on the occassions where you needed to use your legal name. You could also change your name, but that’s a real PITA unless you’re a woman who just got married.
Kind of interesting that your parents would call you by your middle name. After 2 years they just decided that they made a bad choice for the first name? My best friend’s father-in-law actually offered him $10k if he would name his son Ignatius (after the FIL, of course) and he refused. I told him he was an idiot and should have just called the kid by his middle name.
