Boston Image Consultant Evangelia Souris, of OPTIMUM Image talksabout No casual dress at Putnam

Sept. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Putnam chief: Just say no to casual dress

By Jay Fitzgerald Wednesday, September 3, 2008

".....Maybe it’s a sign of the struggling economy or just a new boss flexing his muscles, but Putnam Investments wants workers to dress more professionally .......Putnam employees, still adjusting to their new chief executive, Bob Reynolds, have been told it’s back-to-the-traditional-basics dress code at downtown and overseas offices ....."

Boston Image Consultant Evangelia Souris, AICI CIP explains to the Herald that she has been seeing a lot of change in corporate dress codes lately.  During economic crisis dress codes become less casual and more conservative, especially for companies that deal with money.  Their clients need to feel safe and look for an image that reflects seriousness and trust in their money managers.  Seriousness is often reflected with more conservative attire.
