Nvidia hosted its annual conference this week, attracting tech junkies from around the globe to see the latest advancements in AI, quantum computing, robotics, and beyond. And the event, while without a dress code, wasn’t lacking style.

The traditional black T-shirt paired with jeans or slacks remains a staple outfit in the tech world, with many attendees wearing some variation of the stereotypical fit.

But just as popular was the modest half-zip and quarter-zip sweatshirt, as seen on Infleqtion CEO Matthew Kinsella.
