'As you can see, when it comes to workplace fashion, The Five Brothers have deemed my sartorial choices as 'Unacceptable',' he wrote in a humorous post on Facebook.
'Why? Clearly, Five Brothers prefers the look of freshly-laundered, malnourished millennials who go belt-less and wear dance slippers.
'Am I offended? No. But clearly, if I'm unwilling to change the cut of my jib, I won't be providing default management solutions anytime soon. And I suppose I'll just have to live with that.'
He joked that his lawyers would be in touch with the consulting firm.
