  Not at my office

  These choices are waaay too trendy. The first guy's jacket and shirt don't even fit him. Leaders should wear structure pieces and layers to increase formality and a sense of competence. They should do this regardless of dress level from casual to formal. In our office none of these folks would be percieved as professional. Too bad. I was looking for something to show my young upwardly mobiles how to dress. This is definitely a "don't" video.

  The entry level guy looks like a dork in that pseudo monkey suit!
  With that stupid blue tie, he looks like he's a Yakusa wanna-be!
  The "stylist" looks stiff and lifeless. I wouldn't even bother to check her pulse.
  The polka-dots on the girl look very 70's and is beyond her age.
  The middle manager woman looks like a stewardess.
  
  "His shoes match his belt"...WTF? Who gives a F***? Look, if I go to an interview and I don't get a job because my shoes don't match my belt, then I don't want the job!
  
  In my estimation, a "stylist" is a made up job that people have because they can't get a real job...

  Well, Ed, maybe stylists do "make up" their jobs. But don't you wish you could, too?

  Ed,
  
  Shoes matching the belt is very fundamental to what you wear.
