It used to be that all a man needed for work was a few <a href="/en/shop/suits" style="color:black";">suits</a> and all the fixings. No matter if you were entry-level or C-Suite, essentially any office job required men to wear, at the very least, a <a href="/en/shop/sport-jackets" style="color:black";">sport jacket</a> and <a href="/en/shop/pants?style=Chinos" style="color:black";">slacks</a>.
<br>
As off-duty fashion became increasingly casual over the years, work clothing followed suit, and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused many to question whether they’d ever wear tailoring again.
<br>
Despite some predictions, the suit didn’t die. That said, suits don’t see the inside of corporate offices nearly as much as they once did. Instead, there’s a widening and exciting spectrum of clothes that now fall under “business casual.”
<br>
Here, we’ve curated four business-appropriate looks for you to reference ahead of your next trip to the office.

When in doubt, a classic suit is the way to go. Whether you’re interviewing for a new role, presenting in the boardroom, or simply want to start the week with your best foot forward, you can’t go wrong wearing a suit to the office.

When a full suit isn’t necessary, but you still want to anchor your look with tailoring, a sport jacket is the best in-between. Although less formal, a sport jacket will still help you project an air of professionalism.

<br>
Overshirts have become indispensable to our wardrobes in recent years, and now we’re wearing them to the office too. When a sport jacket feels a little over-the-top, an overshirt is a stylish substitute and a great way to add some structure to your outfit.

We’ve been harping about wearing swackets and thickly knit <a href="/en/shop/clothing?style=Cardigans" style="color:black";">cardigans</a> to the office for years. These combine the comfort of <a href="/en/shop/sweaters-knits" style="color:black";">knitwear</a> with the polished look of an overshirt or sport jacket for the most casual days in the office.
