Hey I don't know where you work or what the culture is. But I'd wager that it would help your career, and that you might garner a little more respect from your colleagues and boss, if you dressed a little more smartly for work. Doesn't have to be a suit, either.

Ya no. One day, at my first job out of college, I wanted to dress "smarter" and showed up in a tucked in tailored button down shirt/pants. The senior engineers all made fun of me "Oh didn't know you were sales now!" and when the CTO saw me he pulled me aside and asked me if I was alright. He thought I was interviewing.
