Scruffy Brits Shun Suits

Recent research has found that jeans are now more common in the workplace than suits and that one in three workers never wear a suit to work.

The study of more than 1,000 workers, commissioned by the Chimes Shopping Centre, reveals that scruffiness of ‘Casual Friday’ has seaped into the rest of the workweek, with 65 percent of office workers admitting to wearing jeans to work.

Notwithstanding this denim trend, scruffy jeans are seen by a majority (70%) as a hindrance to career prospects.
