Throughout history, attire has been used as a symbol of authority. By wearing certain clothes, specific messages are transmitted and often it is about the wearer itself. Clothes reveal more details about the person even prior when they try to verbally communicate with others. Business attire is a sign of respect for the institution where employees work and its goal is to suggest a successful company image with clothing. Therefore several organizations started to see a demand for applying written policies because employees didn't dress like they were going to the job, they were more dressed as if they were headed to the playground. The attention that an employee pays to his/her appearance shows his/her attitude towards both, the company and the work he/she does. Lately, several organizations have returned to a traditional standard of dress and some of them are embracing uniforms or clothing with logos of the company and use “casual dress days”. The goals of this paper were to analyze the role of workplace attire in organizational settings and employee preferences for various styles of workplace attire and how wearing different styles of attire influenced their self-perceptions. For the empirical part, data were collected by a questionnaire, on a sample of 179 employees from two large organizations in Croatia. The research determined that business casual attire is favourite attire among employees, by more than half of respondents prefer that style. If combined with responses of employees who like casual attire, the inclination for more informal workplace attire is supported by 80% of respondents.
