Blue Moves
April 30 is Jeans Day across the province, an annual charitable event wherein employers and employees raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital by purchasing the right to trade in their workaday pencil skirt or dress pants for a much-loved pair of their Sunday best.
Much as BCBusiness supports an occasional lapse in business formal attire, we feel we must offer the following caveat to the denim impaired: please, no mom or dad jeans! In other words, avoid elastic waists, snap-front closures or highrises that reach just below the armpit. Stonewashed finishes are also taboo. To participate in Jeans Day, visit www.jeansday.ca.
