suit comes back as business attire for men, The

Electrical Apparatus, Jul 2003

Introducing a revolutionary concept in business attire. The suit.

An advertisement running in newspapers throughout the country by the 500-store Men's Wearhouse apparel company recalls the time a few years ago when jackets and ties were standard dress in offices. The ad goes on to say:

Along came Business Casual. We lost the suit and half of us lost our shirts. Coincidence? Who's to say?

"We celebrate the suit," the ad, not surprisingly, says, adding that a crisp shirt and tie, as well as pressed trousers, reflect favorably on a person's company.

"It's no secret that productivity is tied to how well people dress," the ad states.
