It's becoming more common. My shop has a similar rule, dress how you want as long you're not meeting clients or running the risk of meeting clients. No reason to wear a suit if I'm just gonna be crunching in excel all day.

My group is the same. I've heard of more than a few groups in NYC are ditching the strict suit policies
This is a cool trend, hopefully something more banks take notice of. I could see this being a way to attract talent.
