A comment on Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?. Parent comment
If you look at how everyone dresses though, you’ll find a clear flow from grunts (tshirts) to managers (shirts & slacks) to leadership (full suit).
Everyone is conditioned to that, so just by dressing differently people now perceive you as something different.
Of course there are exceptions, but it’s generic enough that I think it applies everywhere to some extend.
