What We’re Wearing

Fall Office Style

What is “work style” anymore? Most of us are no longer required to wear suits to the office anymore. Hell, the vast majority of us aren't even going into the office five days a week. But that doesn't mean your professional attire has to devolve into bland button-downs and nondescript chinos when you are there. If most nine-to-fivers are sporting business casual these days, stand apart from the dull worker bees and go against the grain—ever so slightly. Think about pulling on a relaxed knit shirt jacket (that fits and feels more like a cardigan) that elevates a comfortable T-shirt to boss-level style. Pair it with some textured trousers and lug-soled loafers for a silhouette that feels modern and yet still professional. In short, you look sharp, feel good, and are ready for anything happening after hours as well—be it drinks with a client or a dinner date.
