Most office jobs, no. Certain industries are hold outs, but it’s very rare to see office workers in suits nowadays

It depends a lot on the field you work in, your company's policies, what part of the country you're in, and, to some extent, personal preference.

The average rank-and-file, working stiff, pencil-pusher type? Probably not. They're probably wearing business casual- slacks, maybe a shirt and tie, or maybe just a polo shirt or something along those lines. Maybe they wore a suit to their job interview, and maybe one or two important meetings and events.

Higher-level management and executives might, certain sales positions, lawyers, politicians, finance/banking jobs, etc.

But even then it can vary a lot. They might only wear a suit for certain meetings and such but change into more casual clothes for the rest of the day, some parts of the country are stuffier than others, I'm pretty sure you're going to see more people wearing suits in the Midwest than on the coasts.

And of course, some people just like wearing suits, I work for my county government, one of the higher-ups I saw around a lot, the director of some department or another, tended to show up in a full 3-piece suit. He didn't have to, no one else at a similar level in the county dresses that way, and the guy who replaced him usually just wears khakis and a shirt & tie, and sometimes even just a polo, but this guy liked wearing a suit (his last name had the word "vest" in it, and I think he found that amusing)

Only the ones who still think the american dream is cash, private jets, and yachts.

I’m in an insurance industry and it’s pretty common to see our sales guys and execs in suits

Only if you're in sales or live near DC.

DC area still has lots of suits, even for not political white collar jobs.

I only wear a suit when going to see a client or certain professional events, which hasn't changed since COVID. Only the CEO commonly wears suits to the office, but that is because they are commonly visiting clients and professional events.

People are still dressing down in the office, though. I started wearing a tie and dress shoes as required in the dress code. We're at the point now where collared shirts aren't mandatory.

Maybe in sales or if you're working at a small digital SEO agency run by a sociopath who threatens to fire you if you dont wear a suit and get your hair cut once every week yet outsources to a team of account managers in india who dont get hair cuts every week so why the fuck would i need a hair cut each week if im not even meeting with fucking clients

So, a good example of wealthy fashion is Frasier Crane. He's appeared in three TV shows across the decades. In Cheers and the original Frasier, he is typically wearing a suit. In the reboot, he isn't. Same character, but the wardrobe changed over time.

Not where I live. "Nice" in our office for men is a button-up tucked into actual pants, and good shoes. Maybe a sweater or blazer if it's cold (not often here) Just looking put together. Some guys wear that everyday, others are more casual.

Women gave up formal office wear completely because that involves heels and pantyhose. For "Nice" we have a similar outfit as the guys, or a dress or skirt & top combo. Some women dress like that everyday in our office but just like with the men, most of us do not. I wear jeans and a good T-shirt or button-up or a light sweater.

Personally, I'm glad they're almost dead.

Suits were a consequence of the professionalization of what would otherwise be trade workers. Most of those that put on suits didn't get to get a union, either.

A software developer is a machine monkey, just in air conditioning and no grease under their nails. For some god damn reason they have to wear a collar and tie. This pushed most of the devs with career mobility to reject that and you get the sandles-and-t-shirt techbro stereotype.

Suits are too expensive to get tailored and off-the-shelf ends up looking a bit tragic on the majority that are compelled to wear 'em.

As others have said, it depends on the industry. I've worked in government in DC and most people there wore suits/nice attire. There was also the one agent I saw with his service pistol tucked into his dress belt 🤦

I've since switched jobs to private industry and it's much more lax here but still no shorts or graphic tees sort.

Sounds like 90+% scammers...

It depends on the region. For almost the entire country, no unless you’re in sales or an executive. However, the Northeast is still pretty suit heavy for office jobs and I was asked to at least wear a suit jacket when visiting the office as a software guy.
