For some people , it's easy to get dressed for work . Pilots and police officers , for example , don't have to make decisions about their work clothes . They wear uniforms to work every day.
For many office workers , however , it is more difficult to choose clothes for work .They do not wear uniforms to the office . Also ,many employers are changig their dress codes . They are allowing their employees to wear casual clothes to work .
The change to casual work clothes began in the 1990s . As first , many companies in the united states allowed employees to wear casual clothes on one day of the week - Friday . Friday became " casual Friday" or "Dress -down Friday . " Today , however , many companies are allowing their employees to wear casual clothes every day of the week.
Why are companies allowing their employees to wear casual clothes ? Some studies show that people are more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes . Employees also like the casual dress code because they don't need to buy special clothes for work .They can save money this way .
Unfortunately , a casual dress code can also cause problems . Sometimes employees dress too casually. They think they can wear anything . Many companies have rules about casual clothes . They list the kinds of clothes that are not "business-casual " clothes . Blue jeans , sandals , and sportswear are examples of clothes that are usually too casual for the office .
