Menswear Trends for the Following Season

If you pay the slightest attention to what people wear in the office, you’ve surely noticed how men’s business attire has changed over the years.

Men’s office wear is now a lot more casual than ever before. That’s not a bad thing. Being more casual at work breaks the rigid style rules and gives you more space to express your personality.

But it also opens the door to many more faux-pas. You’ve undoubtedly noticed around you a few men who don’t seem to know how to dress properly for the office.

If you’re reading this guide to professional business attire, you know how important it is to dress for the part. Whether it is for an interview, your first day in a new job, or to or to upgrade your wardrobe as your career progresses, your professional business look is a reflection of how much you care about your career. Your clothes show the level of respect that you have for yourself.

So what do you need?

1. A suit that means business

A business suit is a set of garments made from the same cloth. A two-piece suit consists of at least a jacket and trousers. A three-piece suit includes a waistcoat underneath the jacket.

We will focus here on the two-piece suit as it’s the most commonly worn by men in the office.

Every grown-up man needs at least one suit in its wardrobe. If you expect to wear a business suit every day for work, you should buy two or three more of different colours.

For your first suit, start with a plain dark navy colour with no pattern. Navy is the most that can easily be combined with different shirts and ties. Your second suit should be dark charcoal or even black. It’s also easy to combine with other colours and can be worn for more formal occasions.

2. A set of button-up collared shirts

Next on the list are your business shirts. Stick to the timeless classics when selecting your shirt. Begin with a few simple white collared shirts.

When selecting your business shirts, make sure that they look good when fully buttoned-up.

3. Carefully choose your dress shoes

The last critical element of your professional business attire is a pair of dress shoes. The most commonly worn business shoes are called Oxfords.
