many years ago i was a trader on the floor of a commodity exchange. at the time the dress code stated you had to wear a shirt with a collar and a tie. this was to promote a so called "business environment". if anyone is familiar with what the floor was like back then it was a lot of pushing and shoving yelling and sweating. far from a so called business environment.

so me (and a lot of others) followed the rules to the letter.

polo shirts and hawaiian shirts have collars. so for years until they got rid of the rule thats what id wear . an ugly ass hawaiian shirt and a tie usually with a comic book character or some other tie like that. never bothered to untie them i'd just loosen it to slip in my pocket for the next day. a real business like environment.........

they eventually got rid of the rule but it was years later.
