I'm probably the exception, especially seeing as I am relatively young, but I really don't mind wearing dressier clothing. A tie isn't exactly comfortable, but it sometimes feels nice to dress up.

I remember as a kid I would come home (from preschool, actually), and get dressed up as a businessman. I don't know why I enjoyed it so much--I know it surprised my mother. Maybe I liked it because it impressed the ladies. :)

Nevertheless, I think, like jcwren, that people should be allowed to decide what they want to wear to work, especially those who don't deal directly with people. The casual dress that puck describes is being allowed in more offices.
