The Thinking Housewife on Business Casual

The photo she chooses to exemplify this can be found with the post: The Male with No Plumage. I think what the Microsoft execs are wearing can be called business casual. She writes: "Here is a picture taken a few years ago of Bill Gates and other Microsoft executives. I chose it because it seemed to typify the dress of men today, the schleppy, non-descript, I-wouldn’t-hurt-a-fly look." So what is missing? "Bling"? Other ornamentation? Or is it the clothing itself? There are plenty of males who dress like this at night -- does it hurt their chances with women? I think the physique of the execs hurts their image more than their clothing. What is it about them that cries "beta"? Their lack of posture and gravity?
