I just put an extra premium on looking well put-together in my own time (like a lot of members, apparently!?). On a Saturday afternoon or night, or even a Wednesday evening at the mall, i want to be wearing a nice pair of jeans, great pair of shoes, nice looking shirt and nice blazer. If i run into anyone i want to convey the type of image of someone that is with-it, confident, etc. For networking, respect, etc. People treat me totally different (sadly?) when i am like that then when i wear an old t-shirt and old pair of jeans....
Not to say casual looks aren't important too, and i have those as well, but the thought behind it is the same. (Without trying to be obsessively stylish or anything. Even a really nice white dress shirt or cool black t-shirt with jeans and good shoes for example).
Saving a few dollars on cheap shoes or jeans is more visible than a lot of people who don't do it sometimes realize, i think.... ??
