With the relaxing of rules surrounding what and what not to wear to work, it is any wonder that people are questioning whether there are in fact, advantages for adopting a dress code policy for the workplace at all.
A report out last week on the new dress code filtering through Wall Street suggests that the tie is on the way out, and even jeans and sneakers are allowed.
Having spent my whole career dressing for success and educating others how to do the same, I find this an interesting phenomena and trend.
I call it a trend, because we don’t know for sure if it is going to last, however, I do see the trend emerging for more flexibility in how dress codes are applied.
I certainly feel that there are clear advantages to adopting some form of corporate dress code policy even if the standards are being lowered a little accommodate individual preferences.
