Especially for men, the so-called “office look” should be considered an easy task, since – bad lies – the options are limited. Come on, but even under these conditions, it is not at all difficult to fall into some stylistic offense, in an area that you would not want to risk it at all? Don’t panic, getting dressed in the office can become a breeze if you follow some basic tips and “build” your wardrobe on them.
Although everything depends on the type of work you do and the prevailing dress code, in a general context, a successful office look consists of some basic, common elements. Below you will find 5+1 “golden” tips for the office look that will make you look “white-faced” Monday-Friday:
1. Right size matters
Choosing clothes that fit your size is essential. Both too tight and too loose clothes are not suitable for the office. Find the perfect balance.
2. Stylish sneakers
Although sneakers are increasingly common at work, prefer options with dark colors or classic designs if your environment is more formal. Avoid overly sporty pairs to maintain a professional look.
3. “Smart” shirts and t-shirts
Avoid unbuttoned shirts and low-V t-shirts in the work environment. Button your shirt up and choose t-shirts without bold prints and colors.
4. Pay attention to details
Ripped or faded jeans have no place at work. Maintain a smart and professional look, even when wearing jeans. Opt for straight lines and avoid pants that are too baggy or fancy, which can detract from the formality of your look.
5. The right prints
Although the safest choice is monochrome and earth tones, you can always include some print in your look. However, prefer something geometric (e.g. a striped tie) and avoid the most intense, bold designs, as well as prints.
The professional profile
In the work environment, it is quite important to maintain a professional profile. As much as you want to experiment with your style, it is good to prefer clothes in more subtle colors and prints in the office. In other words, avoid standing out too much and unfold your aesthetic in a quieter way.
