Fair enough. I definitely agree that 'holding' yourself in a professional manner in the office is a big thing; however, clothes are just part of that... IMO, it's a lot more important how you communcate with other lawyers/staff (as you mentioned). Don't get me wrong -- I always try to 'look the part', but I'm just saying there are a lot more important things to worry about.
BTW, I do work in one of the big corporate firms... let's just say (at least in the department I'm currently in), I'm pretty sure the other people aren't discussing what brand of suits they're wearing!
