It probably does help in hostile business meetings. It is always funny to watch older people and their fashions. They are long enduring fashion statements by those over fifty. I guess I will find out in a couple of decades. Then again I don't think that tongue rings mix well with gray hair.
Some uniforms are impressive some comical.
I miss the image of the railroad conductor with his starched white shirt, navy blue coat, gold buttons molded with the corporate logo, matching pants, and officer cap. We need more of this in our service industries. I hate the goofy striped shirts, and hats that you see in fast food restaurants. Fly Southwest Airlines to see a neat clean impressive uniform. In my perfect fashion world everyone would wear what is comfortable except for railroad conductors who would wear their historic apparel.
