Men’s Officewear: Style Tips for Work February 26, 2018February 25, 2018 Mo Mulchandani In most workplaces, men’s officewear has changed drastically over the past several decades. Gone are the days when employees were required to don a formal suit and necktie to the office. Unless your company culture is a conservative one, it’s highly likely that you have some leeway when it comes to your outfit choices. Here are some tips on how you can express your personality while still looking professional and feeling confident in the workplace. Pay Attention to Fit While attitudes towards men’s officewear are now considerably flexible, you risk coming across as lazy and unprofessional if you wear ill-fitting clothing to work. Ensure that every item of clothing you wear to the office, be it a jacket, trousers, or your shirt, is well-fitted. If you have difficulty with sizing, visit your local tailor and enlist their help in determining the correct measurements for you. Wearing items that fit you correctly will go a long way in giving you that smart, polished look that you seek. Choose Shirts that Reflect Your Personality When choosing a shirt for the office, think about your personal style and preferences. After all, you don’t want to feel like an imposter all-day! So, ask yourself whether you feel more comfortable in understated neutrals or eye-catching colors. Do you prefer solids or patterns? This stunning Daniel Ellissa Solid Charcoal Grey Cotton Blend Dress Shirt gives new meaning to the terms neutral and solid. Designed in Italy and made with woven cotton blend fabric, it features convertible cuffs, single needle tailoring with silk threading, and a pointed collar. With its stylish European cut, it is sure to help you create a favorable impression at work. If you love colors and patterns, or both, there is a multitude of choices available to you, like this snazzy Axxess White / Blue Handpick Stitching 100% Cotton Dress Shirt that strikes the right balance between trendy and professional. Stick to Neutral Colors When Choosing Blazers and Trousers Even if men’s officewear has changed significantly, work-appropriate blazers and pants come in a limited number of colors, mostly classic neutrals, such as black and navy, although increasingly, camel, grey, and beige are beginning to assert themselves as office staples. These exceptional-quality Gianni Vironi Navy Blue Wool Dress Slacks are versatile enough that you can mix and match various shirts and blazers to create unique office-appropriate outfits.
