STAFF are often more productive when they are allowed to dress more casually at work, according to the boss of a PR agency.

White Knight co-managing director Jim Delbridge said the conventional suit and tie look was becoming an old-fashioned uniform for the workplace. His comment came hot on the heels of research by Debenhams that reveals Britain is dressing down at work, with more than a third of workers wearing jeans in the office.

Figures from the high street retailer showed nearly 40% of employees had been given permission to ditch their suits and wear casual clothes instead.
