While not every office is a bustling hub of perfectly preened professionals, looking your best is essential in today’s workplace. Revise your style CV this season with the three key concepts to help accelerate your climb up the career ladder
PLAIN TALKING
Keep your style statement to the point by employing a
plain, block-colour suit as the base for your look. Playing
it simple with a mid to dark tone makes deciding what to
wear in the morning a breeze
Often an underused colour, a dark
green accessory such as this knitted
tie is a sophisticated alternative to
traditional blues and greys

WORKING PATTERNS
Wearing anything too loud in the office is a sure-fire way to
stand out for all the wrong reasons. A check, in all its guises,
is a classy solution, allowing you to subtly switch up your style
makes for a more understated, yet no less
impressive, impact
GREY MATTER
A beautifully cut, modern suit in a mid-grey shade carries all the gravitas you’d want from your workwear. A crisp pocket square provides the perfect highlight
PASS THE CHECKS
This classic Prince of Wales check has been refreshed in indigo, the ideal tone to team with stripes and spots

ALL OVER IT
Your office attire doesn’t stop at a suit – incorporating
knits offers another option should your workplace allow experimentation, while the addition of an overcoat creates a more put-together look
For a lightweight way to protect yourself from the elements, consider a single-breasted, water-resistant mac. Its simple yet technical design will keep your tailoring in top condition

A FINE LINING
Come rain or shine, when the
weather can’t make up its mind,
a jacket with a luxury removable
lining is just the job
START THE ROLL-OUT
A left-field option, perhaps, but the humble
rollneck jumper can look sufficiently formal,
while a wool overcoat is equally appropriate at
work and at play
