Passage Two
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled. " Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I’m working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable. "

"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. \
