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.
