casual Fridays
Relaxed dress workdays
Casual Fridays is a workplace policy allowing employees to wear informal clothing on Fridays.
The practice emerged in American corporate culture as a weekly relaxation of dress codes: Our office does casual Fridays, so I leave the tie at home.
The phrase sometimes extends metaphorically to any scheduled loosening of rules.
