My brother, a political scientist at a Scottish university, has always worn a coat and tie to class. “Why do you dress up like that?” I asked him once. I knew it didn’t relate to his teaching; he runs a very interactive classroom, with plenty of discussion and argument. He’s also a nice, laid-back guy.
“I don’t know, “he said. “I like dressing up.”

My favorite line from Oscar Wilde: “If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.”
When I taught technical writing, I was a suit-and-tie guy. Now I kind of miss the suit, but it’s always a dress shirt, usually a tie, and usually a jacket.

No interior yet. Getting there. Gotta start somewhere. Low-poly background detail for a medieval theater…
This is manageable. Far better than some semesters.

For 20+ years, when my father worked at an electronics engineering R&D firm, he wore three-piece suits to work(until they stopped making them). He said it was to reinforce the fact that when he went into the lab without his jacket on, he still was a professional, not just a lab tech or a wire jock. :)
Having lived 20 years in Florida, and being large, I don't wear ties without an amazingly good reason...
