The Mystery of Casual Friday

Ah, Casual Friday. That longed-for day; the finish line is visible, the beginning of weekend liberty. TGIF. Say it twice. TGIF. This is the day you can chat a bit longer with your office mate, laugh a little louder, extend your coffee break by a few minutes, and when the boss may actually leave early to get a head start on the weekend. Friday is the king of days, as far as the workweek is concerned. Casual Friday, however, is another story entirely!

What is really meant by Casual Friday? Is it plain casual, business casual, weekend casual or slacker casual? The idea of Casual Friday has caused quite a bit of debate. You shouldn't wear pajamas or sweats to work, ever. You probably shouldn't wear a leather mini either. So just how casual is it?

I think the whole concept complicates dressing for work. People tend to abuse this collective social laxness and end up revealing a part of themselves that should really be left at home.
