when you tell a Scotsman "we have an important visitor and press pack coming to the workplace tomorrow, you should dress a bit smarter than usual".

1.) Couldn't help but also notice which finger he's flipping that switch with...
2.) I didn't previously realise that there's history to this kind of Tshirt choice, too!

I'm not Scotish, but I'd probably do similar. I think it's more a "when you tell an IT engineer…" thing.

I mean, when a prior employer implemented a dress-code that said "no blue-jeans and you must wear a collared shirt," the day the code went into effect, I came in in black jeans and very "upholds the letter but not the spirit of the law" collared shirt (and it began the trend of my wife custom-making my shirts since you can get all sorts of non-traditional printed fabrics from which to make "business" style collared shirts).

@JoeD That's the polite version. He could have turned up in Highland dress, which would mean he could wear a dirk, a short sword / long dagger. And then challenge the Prime Minister, very politely, to a duel.

Sunak could just refuse, and it may well be against company policy, but it would be legal.
