Employment trends expert explains why every day is now Casual Friday<\/em><\/p>\n

\"CasualA recent U.K. study found that\u00a0only 1 in 10 people<\/a>\u00a0now wear a business suit to work. Meanwhile,\u00a03 out of 4 workers<\/a>\u00a0say that they \u2018dress down\u2019 every day.\u00a0\u00a0And, 69% of the surveyed employees say that they are more concerned with dressing comfortably rather than dressing for success.\u00a0Other recent studies<\/a>\u00a0on American sartorial choices also show that we are very guilty of eschewing suits and heels and instead reaching for yoga pants and comfy shoes when we dress for the office.<\/p>\n

Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment trends expert says, \u201cI have seen this time and time again in my line of work. Casual Friday is no longer just a once-a-week affair\u2026now it\u2019s more common to see men wearing button down shirts and chinos rather than business suits, and women in leggings and tunics instead of blouses and skirts.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the reasoning behind this new casual dress trend, and should employers be concerned about this new lax style of dress?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can blame people like Steve Jobs and other tech moguls for the new casual dress trend. They proved that you don\u2019t have to wear a business suit to make millions\u2026you can wear jeans and a T-shirt and still be a CEO,\u201d explains the employment solutions expert. \u201cAdditionally, the new remote-employee trend means that many workers are now Skyping into meetings or working half-days, so they are less likely to put on that power suit and instead just show up in their jeans and tee.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Wilson thinks that this could be a troubling trend. \u201cWhat I have seen is that many employers don\u2019t know how to approach the issue of a dress code. They want to be politically correct and they are afraid of being accused of being sexist or inappropriate, so they say nothing\u2026meanwhile, workers dress more and more casually. It\u2019s important to nip this in the bud or you are going to wind up with employees wearing flip-flops when they meet with your clients. While casual dress might work in Silicon Valley, studies show<\/a> that people are more trusting and have more positive opinions of people in professional dress, so it really could harm your image if your workers are dressed for the beach rather than the conference room. Additionally, other research shows<\/a> that the way we dress actually impacts our performance, so casually-dressed employees might not perform to the same heights as those in professional attire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employment trends expert Wilson admits that there are new concerns that employers and H.R. managers need to consider when they are creating a dress code. \u201cYou have to make sure that your dress code doesn\u2019t use gendered language and that the rules are equal for men and women. It\u2019s also important to consider political messages on T-shirts and pins. You want your office to be a place for work, not a place for political debates.\u201d<\/p>\n
