Adio, ținută office! Angajații din Tokyo merg la birou în pantaloni scurți din cauza caniculei

Tokyo's authorities are encouraging public employees to adopt casual clothing to cope with extreme heat and reduce energy consumption. The 'Tokyo Cool Biz' campaign promotes shorts and polo shirts instead of formal attire. This shift reflects a cultural change in Japan, where traditional office wear has been the norm, especially during hot months. While some companies maintain strict dress codes, many are allowing more relaxed attire when not in formal meetings. Retailers are responding by expanding their business-casual clothing lines to meet this new demand.
