Casual Friday Is Getting Really Casual

Everyone loves a good Casual Friday—goodbye, constricting pencil skirts and four-inch-tall high heels; hello, pants and practical flat shoes! But a new poll from the Advertising Specialty Institute shows today's workers may be taking casual a tad too far. The poll, released this week, shows more people wear pajamas—three percent—on casual Friday than those who dress formally—just one percent. (Everyone else gets what "casual" means.) Two possible explanations: These folks are working from home, or they are working the pajama trend—and we can get behind both of those. If we're talking actual pajamas at the actual office...you'd better be sleepwalking.
