warm biz

During the summer, there was a government coordinated fashion movement in Japan called "cool biz". The idea (and a clever one at that) was that by asking private corporations, and forcing government offices to slacken their dress codes (good by necktie!) for the summer, they could get away with turning the air conditioners down, thus saving a bit of energy and making a very long run-on sentence.
Now it's time for the real winner, "warm biz". Save energy by wearing cozy little vests under your suit jacket.

Word is that cool biz was a pretty big windfall for the men's clothing industry, and warm biz will be too.
