Offices in Los Angeles are beginning to implement formal dress code days as in the current casual environment it is becoming something of a novelty, according to reports.

'Tie Tuesdays' are now all the rage and office workers are encouraging their friends to join in one day a week and make the office smart again.

Matt Smith, the leader of the 'Tie Tuesdays' quest, began to feel that dressing up smartly could actually be more fun than the now typical casual wear.

The LA Times states: "He would like to wear a suit to work but knows he'd be ridiculed. Instead, Smith dons a tie every Tuesday and hopes other men in his office will follow. So far a couple have.

"Forget casual Fridays. In many workplaces, it's casual everyday as corporate dress codes have gone the way of fedoras and white gloves."

Office design can also help a company premises deliver a professional and relaxing feel.

High standard office design can deliver improved productivity and efficiency as well as delivering a sustainable company environment for the future.
