"Clothes have a lot of symbolism," said Organizational Psychologist Dr. Cathleen Swody in an interview with CBS 21. "When we put on the more formal attire that we wear at the office, it cues our bodies and our minds that we're in that workspace."
A Columbia University study of enclothed dissonance, or mixing professional and casual clothing, also found it lessens productivity.
