Boston is a suit & tie startup scene completely different from the West Coast. You won't find anyone wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt in office.

That’s because Boston is cold and we think Hawaiian shirts are dorky. Casual culture is alive and well, but different

I used to be from East Coast, those pocket protectors are not just for pens but snack storage.

Google Mitch Kapor Hawaiian shirt. Nobody in Boston VC or angel investing wears a tie. They might wear a jacket and laundered shirt meeting a limited. Nobody pitching them wears a tie.
