ITSM Fashion Tips
Just noticed that the top trending topic on Twitter is #WhatNotToWear. OK, so now I can get these off my chest! I can imagine a few people in the office and in my family who'll think it's a real hoot that I'm giving fashion advice, but these have been bugging me for years. Men - please - no brown belt and black shoes, or black belt and brown shoes. Men - please - no ties with a logo shirt. Everyone - please - no socks with sandals! The whole point of sandals is the air - think about it! Boys (and some men) - please - underwear goes inside the pants. That's why it's called UNDERwear! Finally, when you show up at a meeting with Adidas, don't wear Puma (and vice versa). Believe me, it doesn't work out too well - I know from personal experience!

When I worked for CA, one of our more hostile clients used to come to meetings with all their staff in BMC sweatshirts

This topic belongs in the exhibiton hall bok.
1st: If it is your first time at a ITSM show, make sure the puke is off your blouse before heading to the first session after the party.
2nd: The person NOT in a logo’ed shirt at a vendor booth, and not talking to anyone, is the head cheese, skip the BS talk to that person.
3rd: Just because they gave you a trip to vegas and your coworkers are not around, doesn’t mean you get to look 17, you are still over 40, and WE ALL KNOW IT.

Wow, this is one of the better posts I have seen in awhile. It’s great to see someone other than myself who really notices things like this. As for the experience of wearing Puma while meeting with Adidas, I have no comment but I will say I’m impressed that you mentioned that. Great post and hopefully people will read this and take it to heart.
