Good morning,
Workplace attire has never been more casual.
As the global pandemic has kept people out of the office--and mostly in their homes--pajamas and athleisure wear have become the new slacks and button downs. The question is, as vaccination rates rise and people start trickling back into work, will they be willing to part with their sweatpants?
The short answer: yes and no.
Just as some people will embrace the momentum of casual wear, others could lean into a strong desire to return to pre-pandemic “normal.” Business casual, or even more formal wear, might be a psychological reminder that we’re moving past the pandemic. “Some will long for a return to the old normal,” Jeff Galak, associate professor of marketing at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, tells Inc. “And some will forge a new normal.”
In other words, your company’s professional attire will matter more than ever before. Read our story to learn how small businesses across the country are adapting their dress codes, along with recommendations from top experts. |
