CHANGE: The UBS Dress Code Memo. “If business casual was a by-product of the tech bubble, where everyone was making so much money we didn’t care what we looked like and anyway the richest people are wearing jeans and sneakers, then the current fiscal realities are turning back the clock to office conservatism. . . . Wear black, gray, navy. Skirts should be mid-knee. Men should leave the earrings and bracelets at home.”

They told me if I voted Republican everything would become stuffy, uptight, and buttoned-down. And they were right!
