As such, it’s only fitting really that ‘dress down Fridays’ have been supplanted by ‘dress up Fridays’.

Ordinarily, some ‘fun’ offices allow employees to not dress up smart on the last day of the week, but people have become all too familiar with working from home in their PJs/underwear and have decided to flip the paradigm on its head and revert back to normal work attire on Fridays:
