“maintain a certain dignified look and appearance”
My heimishe plumber, electrician, mechanic and roofer all respectfully disagree with you and believe jeans are quite the appropriate attire.
“the way you look is the way you’ll be looked at!”
The heimishe plumber, electrician, mechanic and roofer know this all too well. Its why they dont show up in a jacket and tie.
“jeans are very street-like and casual.”
Is there anything wrong with being casual? Surely you are aware that black is the preferred color of the street.
“in the end of the day the way you look is the way you’ll be looked at!”
Sad, but unfortunately true.
