I also don't see Mark Zuckerberg worrying about what he wears, lol. He's laughing himself all the way to the bank.
Mark has been the same way but people already know the estimate net worth of Mark and Warren also.

I am solidly middle class, but most of the time you'll find me in a dress or a skirt.

I have only been to a country club a handful of times.
I have worn slacks for a long time. Now it is annoying to have to remember to hold my legs in a 'ladylike' manner when in skirts. Ok, I'm lazy, too, and don't always remember to shave the legs. Yes, and wearing pantyhose or having to tint my legs so they look good in skirts, as well.

Mark Zuckerberg's look is absolutely a calculated marketing move. It's not JUST that he thinks hoodies are comfortable. It's branding.

The Junior League and country clubs are filled with middle class/upper middle class women dressing to impress each other.

Agree... Just as Hugh Hefner's work attire of silk pj's and robe was branding!

When Zuckerberg and Buffett need a suit for a global presentation, it is unlikely they are shopping at Sears for it.

Actually, the only time I can see Zuckerberg wearing a suit would be a funeral or wedding of a family member or close friend. I don't believe he wears suits to any corporate meetings with any execs/investors.

True, which is why I brush off my sister's attempts to get me to join. But I love to be nosy and go on the home tours. I just love checking out peoples houses (and how they are decorated/composed).

I feel the same way. We have a Spring Home Tour coming up that I'll attend. The Junior League does a lot of philanthropy, but the politics crack me up. One of my friends was a president. I have never had the desire to join. I have my fill with school/church volunteer projects with large groups of women.

It seems like he's wearing more suits lately, maybe to woo investors on his IPO. But his suits don't look too expensive to me. Maybe he does shop at Sears!

Are you sure those photos aren't all from the g8 summit in '11 as opposed to being taken recently?

When was the last time you saw a man sporting a blue blazer and an ascot in Walmart?
