clothes make the man

I was sitting at my desk doing work this morning when a co-worker came into my office with a guy I did not recognize. "I'm just introducing Mr. Gomez around to everyone in the section," she said. So I stood up and shook hands with Mr. Gomez and introduced myself. We chatted for less than a minute about what I did, and I welcomed him. Then, before they had even fully exited my office, Mr. Gomez said,

"So there's no dress-code here?"


I thought I was dressed nicely today.
