To me, formal wear is designed for two purposes: when you want to impress someone, or when you want to show respect for someone. If I were going to a job interview, I'd dress formally because I wanted to impress the interviewer. If I was going to a funeral, I'd dress formally to show respect for the deceased. That said, I really only "like" wearing formal wear becuase I look damn hot in a suit and tie. At work, I wear a T-shirt, jeans, and sandals. My company (a very corporate office) has no dress code. I notice that I'm a lot more productive (aside from my TFPing) wearing this than I would be if I had a throat-killing tie around my neck.

Furthermore, women's formalwear is far different then men's. I really don't see any difference between classy flipflops and lacy heels. They both show off the foot, one just raises it off the ground by a few inches; is one really more formal than another?
