Hello there - I'm late to the discussion but I agree with deborah.kent jenny.brown and mat.tenison3 standards and expectations have changed a lot over the years. As I get older (wiser?) and more confident in what I do (I'm nearly there but not quite) my clothes are a better reflection of my personality and are also a lot more comfortable. The main change for me over the last few years is not wearing heels daily and accessorising with some hand knitted creations. If I'm feeling a bit fancy, I'll wear a jacket, maybe something more dressy, if I'm in a JFDI mood, then it's more relaxed.

It's also important to lead by example with your team as like it or not, they are taking cues from the leader.
