Dress up monday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dress-up Monday (Also known as Shicki Micki Mondays, or Formal Mondays) is a new trend spreading in American companies where casual attire is the company dress code. Employees are encouraged to dress fancy or dress formally (e.g., Business shirts, ties, suits and dress pants) in order to encourage a sense of organization and professionalism. This can occur when a valued customer comes to a company which is looking to engage in new business. This can also occur due to an abuse of the casual or business casual dress code.

Some companies that offer a casual Friday now feel inclined to also incorporate a dress up Monday in order to give a sense of balance and give employees a chance to show that they are prepared and eager to start a new work week.
