There is a custom, practiced by several cubicle-covered offices in the world, which people loathe, love, or simply do not understand. A tradition that, in part, requires people to arrange their wardrobe according to the dress code imparted on them Monday through Thursday by their employers. It is a ritual that tricks workers into thinking their sartorial routine is going to get the best of them, but then something magical happens. Gentlemen, release the knots from your Adam’s apples and ladies, kick off your heels and rest your feet in a pair of flats! Casual Friday has arrived!
