In my office yes, but it depends on the region. NYC, Philly, Miami, SF/Palo Alto and LA all dress baller. Phoenix, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Seattle all dress way more casual for some reason. In Latin America (at least in Mexico and Brazil), APAC (Singapore and HK) and Europe (London, Zurich, Geneva) they dress baller.
People in Palo Alto generally dress like crap… This is probably part of the reason that I have no fashion sense. It is part of the Silicon Valley “I am still cool despite being rich” thing. San Francisco is full of hipsters.
Everyone in Cali thinks they’re cool, it’s not limited to the rich of Silicon Valley.

interesting article about italian ‘spezzato’ style in the WSJ http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323894704578114882615634490.html

COLLAR A FOLLOWER of fashion and ask him to define spezzato, and chances are he’ll furrow a well-groomed brow. Outside Italy, even industry veterans don’t seem to know the word. But if spezzato isn’t on the lips of menswear aficionados, it’s everywhere they look—including, in all likelihood, the mirror.
Not to be confused with sprezzatura, which is the art of unstudied elegance, spezzato literally translates as “broken in two.” Quite simply, it describes a combination of jacket and trousers that’s not a matching suit.
Technically speaking, throwing a blazer on with khakis or jeans qualifies as spezzato, although that’s a bit like putting gas station coffee in a tiny cup and calling it espresso. More deserving of the moniker are those jacket-and-trousers combinations, increasingly common on runways and menswear blogs, that push the boundaries of formality and yet still get the balance of harmony and contrast just right.

Well-dressed Italians are familiar with the concept—no surprise, considering they’ve got a word for it—and seem to practice it with more bravura than their American and British counterparts. “Spezzato is a common aesthetic in Italian menswear,” said designer Brunello Cucinelli BC.MI -1.66%. “Men are comfortable mixing fabrics and patterns in Italy, and they embrace this style in both casual and formal situations.”
In his window displays and his own wardrobe, Mr. Cucinelli often pairs unstructured jackets with casual trousers. He favors lighter, subtler tones; even the bold colors in his latest collection are speckled with beige or gray for what he described as a “dusty” effect. “We tend to stay away from shocking combinations,” Mr. Cucinelli explained. “We believe in wearing one bright color at a time, and complementing it with more neutral pieces.”
“Italians practice it with more bravura than their American and British counterparts.”
Sartorial types of yore obsessed over the interplay between shirt, suit and tie, but the rise of spezzato requires a re-orientation of sorts. “In the modern workplace, the formality of a suit is not necessarily mandatory,” said Alan See, co-owner of the Armoury, a menswear shop in Hong Kong. “This opens up a world of possibility of looking smart in separates.”
“Spezzato is a bigger idea now. It’s become stronger and stronger in the past few years,” said Giovanni Bianchi, product director at Lubiam, which owns the menswear labels Luigi Bianchi Mantova and L.B.M. 1911.

Mr. Bianchi explained that, in Italy at least, a jacket with “a tailored cut and a luxurious fabric” accompanied by a necktie usually fares just fine in a job interview or other situations that traditionally called for a suit. For weddings, he suggested, a self-possessed groom might opt for a “half-tuxedo,” or a dinner jacket with contrasting pants. But one caveat: regardless of quality, an Italian-style, deconstructed jacket tends to work better than the fully lined and shoulder-padded one that’s sold with the typical American suit.
Spezzato practitioners agree that it’s best to let one piece take the lead—but which one? “The Italians are very jacket-driven,” said photographer Scott Schuman, whose recent book, “The Sartorialist: Closer,” offers plenty of examples from the streets of Milan and beyond. “You don’t see as much going on with pants and pattern—it’s more about neutralizing the jacket and establishing a tapered silhouette.”

American men are different. Owing, perhaps, to the preppy tradition of the loud “go-to-hell” pant, they’re more likely to let the bottom half do the talking. “I think most fellows would prefer the jacket to be the stabilizing piece in the outfit,” said Kevin McLaughlin, co-founder of the New York-based label J. McLaughlin. His fall collection has brushed-cotton trousers cut like jeans, available in half a dozen colors that include autumnal reds and oranges. Mr. McLaughlin said he made his purple trousers with a specific pairing in mind: a heathery Harris tweed jacket.
Of course, men have been wearing jackets separately for years, even if the rules for doing so were once much stricter. In “Ivy Style: Radical Conformists,” out last month from Yale University Press, fashion scholar Patricia Mears traces the history of the modern sport coat to the interwar years, when Princetonians liberated tweed jackets from their matching bottoms. Collegiate blazers with bold stripes or piping, perhaps the most flamboyant components of the “Ivy look,” were worn not with matching trousers but with crisp white flannels.
For much of the 20th century, it was custom for Ivy League graduates (and their imitators) to keep at least one “odd jacket” in their wardrobes to wear with khakis, gray flannels or wide-wale corduroys, rather than slim cargo pants, purple chinos or the “winter whites” that are now a trend in Italy. Such pairings would have seemed odd indeed; happily though, for today’s spezzato practitioner, it’s all fair game."
I have a strong desire to punch all of those people in the face.
Does it say where I can buy that last guys outfit? (the beard guy)
Tell me you’re still in character from a walk-on part in “Once Upon A Time in America”.
Seeing those pics make me want to hurl
Those fools in Italy know nothing about fashion…here is what you want:
Look at Ocean’s 11 or 12. The men in those movies can dress to impress!
Fck what you think, those wops are styling as a motha fucka.
^ I bet they bang HCBs too. We might find them douchey but they don’t give a crap what we think when they have hotties in their bed every week.
Please don’t use racial slurs here. Not trying to be mean or rude, just requesting.
I’ve seen hipsters with HCB’s before. But you won’t see me wearing plaid flannel and skin tight jeans.
^ Even if it means you get to hook up with the girl of your dreams?
Let the casual racism begin !
I usually draw the line at white pants
I know there are a lot of metro/homo/fashionistas here on AF who think you can’t get a decent suit for under $1200 but Men’s Warehouse really offers great prices on relatively high quality stuff
The service/fitting is very professional.
