"Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is as famous for his Adidas sandals and sweats as he is for his low-key-gajillionaire lifestyle, but apparently, the Wall Street honchos are hardly impressed with his signature style. In fact, his wardrobe on a recent fundraising visit to New York left some totally miffed, and led to what we now know as &amp;quot;Hoodiegate.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookFacebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers the opening keynote address at the f8 Developer Conference April 21, 2010 in San Francisco, California. Zuckerberg kicked off the the one day conference for developers that features breakout sessions on the future of social technologies.\nPHOTO: Getty ImagesZuckerberg made New York the first stop on his public offering road show last week, and he met with potential investors in, yes, a hoodie (much like Steve Jobs in a black mock turtleneck, it&amp;#39;s just his thing). According to the New York Times, &amp;quot;The hoodie in Manhattan prompted, as Mr. Zuckerberg may have expected, a gush of approval and disdain. Hoodiegate, it came to be called, and it began to show signs of a culture war between the two coasts - Wall Street versus Silicon Valley. His critics saw it as a sign of immaturity and disrespect for those whom he expected to finance his company...His defenders said the hoodie signified Silicon Valley ethos: a brash, youthful self-confidence.&amp;quot;\n#zuckerbergshoodie was soon tearing up Twitter, with plenty of people on both sides of the debate. His &amp;quot;anti-fashion fashion statement&amp;quot; is, as past evidence has shown, his way of saying he&amp;#39;s in control of his own company and doesn&amp;#39;t have to answer to anyone--plus, he represents a new generation of CEO that worry more about pushing their product forward than looking neat and trim while doing it. But! Should he have conformed to expected dress codes while making a visit to investors (and, um, asking them for a serious amount of money?). Or does his refusal to bow down to Wall Street standards make you respect his business model more? Should Mark Zuckerberg have worn a suit (or at least a collared shirt!) when visiting prospective investors? Discuss!\nPLUS!\n\nAttention, aspiring entrepreneurs: Time to slip into some sweats\n\nAND...\n\nHow strict is your office dress code? One bank banned new shoes and non-nude undies!\n\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
