The casual business wear backlash may be upon us. The article hints that a “Dress-Up Thursday” is being considered in some East Coast firms. I remember my dad going off to work every morning with a tie, no jacket. And when he was traveling on business, he would go off to the airport with a big flowing trench coat on. He had half a dozen slender ties from way back when they were in style, and I borrowed them to look trendy when they came back in style for new wavers in the eighties.
