Tiesday to Tuesday Tuesday became the name for the day of the week when the Romans adopted the practice of wearing a shirt and tie instead of the traditional Toga.

The practice was similar to the modern practice of "Casual Friday" in many offices when employees who usually wear more formal business attire started dressing casually on Friday. In some offices with a strict formal dress code policy, such as IBM starting in the 1950's, men who had to wear ties to work every day came to work on Friday without a tie. In those offices, being without a tie was referred to casual. Friday was chosen because that was the day many people who normally dealt with customers and the public spent in their offices doing the reports and other paperwork for the week. Thus the term "Casual Friday".

As the popularity of Casual Friday spread, dressing for work became more casual and the idea spread to almost every workplace where employees were free to dress as casually as they pleased. Some businesses developed a casual dress code to prevent too much deviation from what they considered how an employee should look when representing the company.

In the last few years many companies have abandoned more formal dress codes and Casual Friday is disappearing because the employees dress casually all week.
