IT Workers Dubbed "Worst Dressed"

More than 150 tech professionals attended a corporate fashion show in Sydney last night as organisers officially dubbed the industry "the worst dressed" in Australia.

Short sleeved shirts, man-made fibres and the wrong coloured socks were some of the most common fashion faux-pas cited by corporate stylist, Melanie Moss, who hosted the event.

"Because the majority of IT people are not in front of customers all the time, they tend to slack off," she said. "The internet is now such a massive industry but people haven’t caught up in terms of their dress."
