Who said anything about functionality?<br>
<br>
However, since you asked: They're great for catching things that would<br>
otherwise land on your shirt. Back when I wore suit & tie I usually<br>
had a spare tie at work. I've NEVER kept a spare shirt at work.<br>
<br>
Personally I never really minded wearing a suit - it was like garanimals<br>
for adults - no need to coordinate top and bottom - just wear a neutral<br>
colored shirt and a conservative tie with the suit. :-)<br>
<br>
What's the functionality of wearing pants instead of a kilt? Why wear<br>
clothes at all on warm days? We all conform to some degree either due<br>
to custom or law. Those who don't, typically end up living under<br>
bridges or in jails.<br>

Unfortunately, over the last many years I've only worn suits to<br>
funerals.<br>
<br>
I think that for me I would wear some slacks, nice button shirt, and a<br>
conservative tie.<br>
No jacket. For one it is Summer and not jacket is needed :)<br>
<br>
Also wear a nice pair of shoes. If you wear a black belt, wear black<br>
shoes. Same rule applies for brown. Have your outfit pressed at the<br>
cleaners. Do not pump gas on the day of the interview unless<br>
afterwards. Be conservative with any cologne.<br>
<br>
As far as interviews, I've really not even cared to read any resumes.<br>
If I do it may only be for contact information. To me what is important<br>
<br>
is what the person knows and what the person can do.<br>
<br>
