I wear a suit all the time. Well almost all the time. The closer to summer, the less dressed I am. To damn hot for a tie.

I voted "dress up," but only because I wear a blouse and skirt. I don't consider a khaki shirt and plain cotton or linen blouse to be "dressed up," though.

I probably "dress down" as far as the question goes, but I think I dress appropriately for my profession.

I'm an English teacher, not a businessman, so cotton pants and untucked collared shirts is fine. Sweaters in the winter. If I have a presentation or an important meeting I'll wear a suit. I generally get judged on how well I teach rather than by what I wear. I think it's kind of funny that university English instructors, school teachers, or especially someone at a hagwon would wear a suit everyday.
