Happy where I am now, can't envisage commuting every day. I will say a bit more disconnected from work, but I don't know if that's a change of roles, getting older or going into the office less.
I too can remember the time spent matching ties to shirt & what shoes you'd wear.
I've now more formal shoes than I'll ever need - mainly wear plimsolls now.
Though this still one of my favourite combos

Cheers
