Business casual and the evolution of the American workplace.

As stupid as it sounds, what I'm wearing at work drastically effects my productivity. Not only that, where I'm working does too.
My most productive days are usually Saturdays spent sitting in the conference room with my feet up on a chair, some futurama playing on the projector, and hacking away at my laptop.

I can think better when I'm comfortable, everybody can. Every design firm on the planet knows this, I just wish more regular businesses did.
(To be clear, my dress code at work is pretty lax, I usually wear dark colored jeans and a polo shirt, but I wish I could wear flip flops, board shorts, and a t-shirt).

Yeah, but also, you're not getting interrupted/distracted all the time when you're in on a Saturday.

My colleague jokes that we should have "formal Fridays," we're both working at school right now so nobody cares what we wear.

Personally I'm really glad they don't...I have never found women's business wear I can stand, let alone putting together "outfits" for every day. I can do formal for interviews and dressy for going out, but women's business casual is wayyyy too complicated. :)
