“Designer jeans brigade?” Where do you live, bizzaro world? Newsflash: techie dudes are 99% geeks. Their socks usually don’t match and they nonchalantly venture into public with bits of toilet paper stuck to their shaving cuts. If anyone can give a Eurocrat’s lack of sartorial sense a run for its money, it’s them.

I solved the dilemna (when I have to give a speach in those circumstances) by wearing a grey suit with a tie (and I always start my speach with “I am one of those guys in grey suit from Brussels”). Then the presentation usually does the trick. And I untie my tie as soon as I’m off the stage: this provides my personal cool factor. Not to mention I hate ties.

“Of 28 speakers, only three are women. I’m pretty sure they won’t be wearing ties.”

You know: I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them did just that.

As somebody who has never even owned a tie, I’d say: Go for what you feel most comfortable with. After all, you will be seen as that Eurocrat dude.

I’d say it’s more about attitude than about clothing.

You made a very relaxed impression when we met some weeks ago, and I cannot recall what you were wearing – I just recall that you look comfortable and interested.

If you can put this kind of attitude into your suitcase, together with the clothes you feel most comfortable with, I am sure nobody will realise that you are a eurocrat… :-)
