Trend from Casual Back to Conservative Business Attire
Rapid Growth of Business Casual Dress During 1990 s 1992 Companies with dress-down days 24% Extent casual dress allowed 72% One day 1999 95% 40% Every day
Downside of Dressing Down • Relaxed manners, morals, and productivity • Increased on-the-job flirting, harassment, tardiness, and absenteeism • Confusion over appropriate casual dress resulting from unclear dressdown policies
The Way Back to Conservative Business Dress • Slowing economy linked to overall lack of professionalism • Formal dress code reinstated in the Bush White House • Many large businesses returning to formal business attire • Fewer companies offer casual dress policies
Analysis of Conservative Business Dress Advantages • Improved attitudes • Increased productivity • Enhanced image • Greater versatility • Increased respect for women and minorities Disadvantages • Additional wardrobe expenditures
Isn’t a guess with business professional dress
Clear Policy Sets Rule for Acceptable Dress Simple but specific In writing and well distributed In agreement With Title VII of Civil Rights
