I can't help but notice all the replies are about female Ts. I wonder if thoughts would be similar for male Ts? I just wonder if it's like with politicians, that women are always scrutinized in a way that men aren't?

My male T always wore a jacket or sweater, sometimes a tie with jacket, and occasionally a full suit--I always knew that those were days when he had committee meetings or court appearances. This was in his University job.

In his private practice, he always wore a shirt or sweater, depending upon the season. Never a tie or jacket. And always chinos, etc--no jeans.

Always seemed appropriate to me either way.
