I think people can be clad in many "appropriate" garbs, none of the must be a tie and shirt (which minus the jacket doesnt work for me anyhow, stylistically). Frankly, a tie with a short sleeved shirt (uh uh) looks the same to me as a nice 'polo'. Name badges included, of course.
You just wander around asking anyone you see dressed all in black (how uncommon is that???) until someone admits to working there. Now that is silly!

I just do not think it appropriate for me to substitute my fashion preferences for those of the business owner. If that is the image the owner has determined is best for business - you can wear it or work elsewhere. You know the golden rule..."he (or she) who has the gold rules."
