This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing. ” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

　　Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?

　　One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work, ” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. ” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.

　　In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company,

　　85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employees’ morale(心境，士气).

　　Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.

　　Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive,

　　if you have to wear one every day, ” one person said. “For the same amount of money,

　　you can buy a lot more casual clothes. ”

　　从20世纪90年代起，美国许多公司开始允许员工星期五可以不统一着装上班。现在越来越多的公司许可员工穿便装上班了，这对调节他们的心情，调动其工作热情有一定的作用。
