Bickle & Brewer, a storied law firm in based in New York City and Dallas, enforces the dress code. Brewer, co founder and a managing partner, speaks of never having been a fan of even the nicest rubber soled loafers and khakis to the office. Their dress-code is deeply rooted in the formality of business and the decorum of the workplace. “Even the mailroom clerks wear suits and ties” write The WSJ.
In 2007 there was a push from a group of lawyers who wished to wear Uggs, jeans, and t-shirts at the office, claiming that they “needed to be comfortable at work. They felt entitled.”
Brewer, at right, takes a great deal of pride in his crisp attire. Mr. Michael Gardner, a hiring partner at the firm, once said to a new employee, “We gotta get rid of those shoes.” They both hold a large disregard for the “square-toed club shoe” that many new applicants and employees wear regularly.

“Pope’s sole the work of Christ, not Prada-
This may be from the summer but we recently saw it online. Check out these papal italian loafers. Note also the vestiments he wears them with. It is safe to say that Pope Benedict XVI is a bit of a dandy.
