Now, formal business attire is said to be making a comeback. The relaxed but polished look that gained acceptance during the last decade is most likely here to stay in one form or another. For starters, they are becoming more buttoned-up than they have been the past few years.
Fashion tends to reflect the economy.
When things turn shaky, people dress more conservatively. Also, because many employees took their company's casual dress policies to extremes, many dress codes are being revamped. Worried about the negative impact of employees coming to work dressed either too sloppy or too provocative, human resources professionals are issuing new dress guidelines that suggest that employees return to a more formal business look if it will better position them with customers and colleagues. The best course of action is to step back, take a deep breath, and tap into your own common sense. Start by looking at your own industry and the culture of your workplace.
