Abstract
The Millennial generation, in addition to technological advances and ever-changing societal norms has drastically impacted the business world, both internally and externally. Over time, significant internal changes, such as expectations of “proper work attire” have occurred. What once was a non-negotiable suit and tie for men, and dress pants, dresses, pantyhose, and so forth for women, is now turning into polos, jeans, and even flip flops. The traditional professional business attire is no longer a universal and required dress code. In fact, many companies display their lack of a strict dress code as an employee benefit. This chapter aims at categorizing and understanding the three different types of attire in the workplace, analyzing different companies that implement these dress codes, or lack of, and examining the arguments from both sides. Final recommendations are offered based on the research and presented companies. Implications are also discussed in the conclusion.
