If that's not conservative . . .

So the Globe & Mail is carrying a little piece entitled, How to dress for career success? It may be time to think conservative. Although the story doesn't actually define "conservative" dress, here is the final graf pointing to what's obviously NOT conservative:

OfficeTeam noted the following fashion faux pas in the workplace: wearing cause-related T-shirts, midriff-baring shirts, torn clothes, excessive jewellery and overpowering fragrances.

There seems to be a lot of room for interpretation -- or the bar has drifted a lot lower than when I was first told to dress conservatively -- meaning blue suit, white shirt, single-colour tie (no pocket puff), and brogue lace-ups over black socks.
