Solicitors are finally cottoning on to the idea of dress-down Fridays, though, being lawyers, they regard it as an excuse to draw up lengthy lists of dos and don'ts.

A memo issued by Virginia Glastonbury, the managing partner at Denton Wilde Sapte, one of the top ten law firms, informs staff that "smart casual" does not include shorts, sloppy sweaters, shirts with no collars, inappropriate T-shirts or trainers. Neither, continues the memo, does "dress-down" equate with "under dressing" and solicitors are expressly warned not to bare their midriffs to clients.
