Casual Friday?

Do you have "casual Friday" at your job? We used to, for many years, but I think "Friday" crept into the entire week, so now anyone who doesn't directly interact with customers wears "casual" attire all week long.

Re: Casual Friday?

Every once in awhile, we'll have "jeans day" at work, usually before a holiday or for a party or if we donate to a charity. We can wear jeans today and all next week. I'd rather get out early, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

ETA: Every Friday in the summer we can wear jeans, but who wants to wear jeans when it's hot as hell out??

At my old job we did. Even better was they occasionally did dress down Mondays if you donated $5 to charity. That was the best!

I wear jeans and a nice top every day. I used to dress more formally, however it seems overtime less formal is the norm where I work. Some people continue to wear suits everyday

Re: Casual Friday?

Technically yes, we can wear jeans on Friday, but to be honest, I see people wearing jeans all the time at work. Unless a customer is coming in etc, it's a very casual office.
In our NYC office it's more formal and you don't see jeans at all except on Fridays.

I work from home most every Friday so yeah, I voted keep the webcam off! LOL

Only time we are allowed to be casual is when it snows. Other than that, unless a partner specifies it, casual everyday. I would LOVE to have casual fridays. :(

I work in construction, so it's jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and boots everyday. Probably my favorite thing about my job.

Most of the people in my office dress casually every day. I don't because at pretty much any time I could be called to a meeting with "the powers that be" - even though it doesn't happen often, I always (or almost always) dress professionally (dresses, dress pants etc). Until I started this job (3 yrs ago), I always had jobs where I had to dress very professionally (suits, dresses etc) every day.

Re: Casual Friday?

Also wanted to add that even when I do go in the office on Fridays I rarely wear jeans because I hate how I look in jeans and to me they are not comfy. I am more comfy in a dress to be honest.
If I could wear leggings to work, that would be good for a casual day.
I live in leggings all weekend.
I don't find jeans at all comfortable- in fact quite the opposite.

I love dressing up though. I love wearing dresses, skirts, etc. Most of the time I look overdressed in my office because quite frankly, the majority of people there dress like slobs every day.

I just got a new job and we can wear whatever we want, which is new for me because I always used to get dressed up every day.

Now I have a million and one work dresses and nowhere to wear them!

My job technically does not have a dress code so you could wear whatever you want any day, but the collect $ for scholarships to dress down on Friday. Meanwhile, a lot of people dress casually every day anyway. I prefer to dress up but dress more casually on Fridays.

That's pretty much how it is in my office. We were always bussiness casual M-Th, and casual (jeans) on Fridays. They guys even used to wear ties M-Th unless it it was over 90 degrees

Now it is pretty casual all the time, which makes Fridays a free for all. 1 assistant wears workout clothes with a flannel over it most Fridays.

I still dress business casual M-Th & Wear jeans on Fridays. In the summer I will wear a more causal skirt or dress on Fridays.

We are casual all week, but no jeans, flip flops, beachy attire allowed.
Business casual is the official term. For important meetings, business attire is reqired.

My old office was super casual. I was just transferred to a diff office where its a little more professional. I personally wear jeans every day but others may wear dresses or dress pants.
