If the CIO has this much time, time to look for another job. It's too small
a company...
I would tell that guy, "If I was paid for my looks, I would be a model for
Ralph Lauren, and make $35,000 a day". You are paying me for what You don't
know.

In some hi tech companies, this can mean wearing sneakers instead of
flip flops. In some law firms, this may mean a suit. It also varies by
coast. I find that even within my own company, that the west coast tends
to have much more leeway regarding style of dress then the east coast.
I personally vary my dress. I normally have slacks and a button down
shirt, and might wear a sport jacket in the winter. When I do interviews
i wear just that, my normal work clothes.
