Weather and Attire

I had to attend a seminar in San Jose today. Typically, seminar attire equates to business “formal” attire, as opposed to just “business” casual…right? Well unfortunately for me today, walking around San Jose was like walking around an overheated oven.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love having a reason to dress up and put my suits to good use, but when it’s like a million degrees outside, wearing a suit is just downright torture. I know I’m letting my wimpy “Bay Area nativeness” show, but my goodness, it was hot today...downright stifling in San Jose.

So as much as I love having the opportunity to show off my suits, I think there should be some unwritten code of conduct against wearing “formal” attire when it is unbearably hot outside. I mean, I’m not saying you can’t look professional when the weather is hot, but do you really need to wear a suit? Seriously...

Since I’m throwing in my two cents about attire as it relates to hot weather, let’s also do away with panty hose too. Who wears those anyway? Maybe people from the middle ages, but now…let’s all just agree that wearing panty hose (especially in hot weather) sucks.

OK those are my thoughts for today.
