Dress for Success/Excess

When I go to sc's, I am almost always coming from or going to work. I can count the number of times that I have gone to a sc casually dressed (khakis and polo or sweater, depending on the season) on one hand. However, when I have gone casually dressed, I have invariably gotten less attention than when I was wearing business clothes. This is particularly surprising since the clubs I prefer, including Favorite Club, are most definitely casual, "neighborhood bar" places, rather than the "gentlemen's club" type of place. Last week, on my way east for a trip, I stopped in one club dressed casually. I got a respectable but minimal amount of attention. On the way, wearing a suit, I stopped in at Favorite Club, and got much more attention. Obviously, there were other variables at play, but this has happened often enough to permit me to comfortably generalize that I, at least, do better at sc's the better dressed I am. Anyone else have this experience?
