In formal business environments, employees are allowed to wear business casual clothes instead of suits on this last day of the work week. Sometimes given a theme, it is intended to alleviate stress and bolster employee morale.

In smaller companies where business casual is worn every day, this day should be called just "Casual Friday" when lower-quality clothes are allowed.

When in doubt, it is better to overdress than to wear clothes too casual, so as not to be reprimanded by the suits.

The term used by places of buisiness that allow the employees a slackening of the dress code on the final day of the work week. Commonly known as "Biz Cas Fri". Well, not really.
"Oh, how I love to wear unique-colored pants and a belt full of metal squares rather than just plain khakis on BUSINESS CASUAL FRIDAY."
