What does casual apparel mean exactly?

To continue on what we started last week here I go about explaining more on what casual apparel means to employers and employees. The main aim of the employer to establish a business casual is to allow or let the employee work comfortably at the workplace but is this followed in the right manner by all employees. Here comes the question? There are a few employees who feel any casual is allowed in the workplace but they forget that it has to be presentable and you should be looking equally decent rather than not taking away attention of other fellow workers. Here are a few casuals that may not give a professional image: tank-tops, shorts, miniskirts, flip-flops, beach wear, night wear, and skin showing clothes, underwear visible clothing and many more to add. Of course each person has his/her own right to dress the way they want but keeping in mind they can be called for a meeting anytime or any client may visit the company. So to look presentable in front of these people we need to wear a casual that looks formal and is comfortable for you to work as well.

The topic has a lot to discuss and debate about. I sometimes feel that when companies have dress code policies do they keep in mind what is the status and image of the company. Yes, they do because reputation is very important. Every employee should respect the company they working for and such policies need to follow strictly and they should keep themselves decent in order to keep up their image as well. When I do my research on this topic I see that most of the companies nowadays mainly keep Fridays as their casual wear day and also have dress codes.
