I always like the look when a lady is wearing one. but all glammed up with make up and wearing heels.
I thought it was something to do with modesty.

[Sir C]

Wrong, imo.

You don't think employers should be allowed to enforce a dress code?

I used to turn up in a suit. Then this south London mob joined the office now I come in in my trainers.

Not wrong. Outside work, one may do as one wishes, but in the workplace, the employer gets to set the rules.

I used to enjoy wearing a suit every day. It was like putting on a uniform; it concentrated the mind. Now I dress like a slob, think like a slob and work like a slob.

An important distinction, I think. And - sadly - I'm with Monty on this one.

suit gives you confidence. You walk differently. People treat you differently.

I made the error of walking into a guitar shop whilst wearing a suit. They proceeded to put multiple expensive guitars in my hands.
and I don't like playing guitars in shops.
