"Another reason is that people seem happier more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and & Co. , 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said. "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes. /
