A few years ago a local buddy on Oahu (well known in his field) made a pitch to the Board of Directors of a large local company wearing a cheap aloha shirt, shorts, and slippahs. (And pretty sure he wore those shorts to the beach that morning.) I personally would've worn long, dark slacks and dress shoes with a Sig Zane to class everything up. But my friend got the gig because he was authentic, made a connection with the Board, and knew his stuff. In Chicago this would be unthinkable, one big reason I moved here. After reading Steve Job's biography, wondering if Silicon Valley has its own version of this "minimalist" dress code?
