The ultimate guide to men’s back to work outfits

The world is up and running and going back to the office is becoming more of an occurrence.  Whether you’re heading back to the office full-time or doing a hybrid, dressing up for work gives you more confidence and tells your co-workers you’re ready for anything and everything. It’s time to replace those loungewear outfits and refresh your office wardrobe. This is POLITIX’s ultimate guide to men’s back to work wardrobe essentials and how to style them.  

For the classic professional

A well-tailored suit is a staple for the traditional businessman. To modernise your look and avoid looking like the rest in uniform, opt for trending tones like our Light tan or Light forest matching suit. Channel modern tonal dressing and keep to the same colour palette for the rest of your pieces. Our mercerised polos and tees come in different colours that work for any colour palette.  

 

Invest in quality fabrics such as wool or wool-blend for comfort, long wear and a polished look. Complete the look with loafers or classic Oxfords.

For the relaxed and casual

In workplaces with a more relaxed dress code, business casual attire is the go-to. Opt for tailored chinos or dress pants paired with a crisp button-down shirt or an elevated tee. We recommend our travel tees as they are made from 100% Cotton, low crease and moisture wicking. Layer with a tailored blazer or a modern bomber jacket. Loafers or white sneakers pair well with business casual outfits.
