Wear Denim To The Office

For most men, a denim shirt is squarely filed under casual wardrobe, to be worn only on the weekend. Most men however are missing a trick. That’s good news for you though: mastery of this often ignored design ensures people notice when you clock in.

It should go without saying that a denim shirt will reduce the formality of your outfit. So, if sartorial dissent is likely to land you in hot water, avoid. This is a move for offices that genuinely embrace more casual dress, not those that half-heartedly suggest dressed-down Friday.

For the rest of you there are plenty of options. In summer try putting a pale blue denim design (sans tie) beneath a pale camel suit and finish the look with black penny loafers. When cooler weather arrives, go for a darker denim and a thicker material. Team with a burgundy knitted tie, a midnight blue suit and the same loafers.

That’s not all the denim shirt can do either, it’s skilled at sprucing up separates. Try teaming a mid-blue denim design with a brown double breasted blazer, grey flecked formal trousers and black derby shoes for a look that feels aeons away from the regulation boring blue suit.

Get Office Style Down To A Tee

Bringing the tee into your tailoring rotation is arguably the easiest and quickest way to revolutionise your workplace attire, with every guy surely having a plain white tee knocking about their wardrobe.

The aforementioned PWT is your best bet for pulling the look off, working as both a neutral shade, while also providing a clean contrast with pretty much the full range of the colour palette, allowing you to go more daring with your suit pattern and colours.

Black is also a nice, crisp option and links up well with green and grey tailoring. Steer clear of hooking it up with a black suit mind as the all-over black can have your look stray back into uniform territory. In the summer months, dare to bare a Breton top under a navy linen suit for an easy, breezy way of mixing up the tee-suit combo.
