Had a economics professor who wore cargo shorts and a hoodie to lecture halls. He rode a foldable bike and I'm pretty sure he skateboarded on weekends.

He was getting an achievement award for something and he goes in a full blown suit and tie. I asked him why he didn't go in his usual clothes, and he said, "I need a couple more awards and sit at the top before I can do that."

That's my goal.
