Even in a business setting, there are ways to "stand out" in how you dress. As I'm typing this now, working at my 9-5 business casual job, I'm wearing a bright pink collared shirt with a striped bow tie. Why? Because I look damn good in it, and people notice. Just because I'm not wearing a tee-shirt and jeans doesn't mean I'm "conforming". Absolutely stupid.

Right? In another couple of years it'll be "disruptive" to wear a suit instead of looking like a slob. Congrats! You're ahead of the curve, not behind it.

This is the very definition of fashion: it has to do with trends and popularity rather than utility or fundamental reasoning.

This might be true already.
