This week\u2019s Phoenix Business Journal<\/em><\/a> <\/em>poll asks:\u00a0 \u201cHas workplace attire become too casual?\u201d
\nThe term \u201ccasual\u201d certainly means different things to different people, particularly from a geographic standpoint.
\nIn the southwestern United States, workplace attire tends to be much, much more casual than anywhere else in the world. \u00a0At \u201cbusiness casual\u201d<\/a> meetings and events at our Public Relations Global Network<\/a> meetings, I am always \u2013 by far \u2013 the most casually \u2013 and comfortably dressed.
\nA few years ago, a Phoenix mayor even went so far as to declare during a news conference that neck-ties should not be worn during the summer months. \u00a0Our \u201c100-Degree Rule\u201d also eliminates suit coats altogether when the mercury rises that high.
\nWith summer temperatures well above 100 degrees here, HMA Public Relations goes even further.\u00a0 Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we have \u201cShorts Fridays,\u201d when staff members can wear shorts to work if they choose, provided they do not have client meetings.
\nEven during the winter months in the Desert Southwest, we have casual Fridays, which allow for jeans \u2013 as long as they\u2019re presentable.\u00a0 \u201cBusiness casual\u201d in Arizona can mean jeans and a golf shirt or a short-sleeve button-down.
\nWhile that\u2019s not the case everywhere, it\u2019s trending that way.<\/p>\n
