"Business casual," or "biz caz," is a clothing style that was foisted into the mainstream of American business offices during the early 1990s. The trend was started by the left leaning, East Coast, Ivy-League, Tim Robbins types of the world in an effort to discredit everything Ronald Reagan brought to America during the 1980s. Business men and women were forced to trade in their stylish pant suits and sports coats for barbaric loin cloths and garter belts in an effort to create a more "relaxed atmosphere" in the work place. "Relaxed atmosphere" being just another term for passing the water bong around at lunchtime and engaging in casual sex in the break room.
