When did dress down day become dress down week?

It may seem like a stretch of the imagination, but I believe this may well be linked to the disappearance of the classy, tailored suit. Dressing to impress commands respect and displays professionalism, it is assertive.
More and more workplaces allow their staff to wear whatever they please, and in doing so may also be allowing their workplaces to become overly relaxed. However, it should also be noted that freedom of expression is of huge importance to a great many people and the freedom to wear what they please makes most people feel at ease and relaxed.
I’d suggest there is a happy medium – bring back class, bring back style – but bring it back in a modern way – there is no reason why we cannot be ourselves but in a smart, sophisticated way.
