In the early 1990s， many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday （but only on Friday）. This became known as “dressdown Friday” of “casual Friday。” “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing，” said business consultant Maisly Jones。Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes？ One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work，” says the owner of a software company， “so its 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 made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of workers said they believe that casual dress improves worker morale。 Only 4 percent of workers said that casual dress has a bad effect on productivity.
