How Men Should Dress for Any Work-Related Function

Curator-in-ChiefMay 26, 2017Fashion
Because looking professional goes beyond just owning a great suit.

The Client Lunch

When meeting with clients, a professional look is important. But depending on the type of client, or the type of lunch, a full-blown suit and tie is not always necessary. For something that's professional, but between dressy and business casual, a cotton suit with brogues and a simple dress shirt—sans tie—is an excellent way to split the difference. Shop similar: Ecru Monaco slim-fit stretch cotton suit ($2,750) by Gucci, mrporter.com; Slim blue dress shirt ($119.50) by Club Monaco, clubmonaco.com; Chetwynd brown leather brogues ($540) by Church's, matchesfashion.com

Happy Hour

It's called happy hour, not "rumpled undone suit at the end of a long day" hour. So go for something that's a little more casual, but still sharp and stylish. Trousers, a light sweater, a denim jacket, and a glass of Jim Beam Black® in your hand will help you nail that whole effortlessly cool vibe. Shop similar: Cotton-blend pique bomber jacket ($205) by Folk, mrporter.com; Casper linen and wool-blend sweater ($155) by NN07, mrporter.com; slim-fit super 120s wool trousers ($720) by Prada, mrporter.com; cotton T-shirt in pebble grey ($90) by Sunspel, sunspel.com; Mulberry plain toe mahogany blucher ($550) by Alden, needsupply.com

The Company Picnic

Though it's the most laid-back of work-related events, the company picnic is still a great place to show off your style. Keep it simple and comfortable with a pair of chinos, a crisp polo, and a classic pair of old school sneakers. Shop similar: Hudson tab front chino pant in peat ($168) by Todd Snyder, toddsnyder.com; tipped cuff polo ($99) by Fred Perry x Raf Simons, endclothing.com; Old Skool Pro '92 LX sneaker ($90) by Vans x Our Legacy, openingceremony.com

Casual Fridays

Casual Friday means business casual, not sweats on a Sunday casual. So stick to dark-wash jeans, a button-down oxford or chambray shirt, and an unstructured blazer. And then add a dose of cool with a pair of minimalist sneakers. Shop similar: Blue Bailey slim-fit unstructured cotton and linen-blend canvas blazer ($875) by Dries Van Noten, mrporter.com; Petit New Standard raw denim jeans ($195) by A.P.C., usonline.apc.fr; light grey brushed chambray shirt ($125) by Buck Mason, buckmason.com; hand-sewn suede sneakers ($520) by Feit, feitdirect.com; 40 Year Belt in brown ($108) by Buck Mason, buckmason.com

 The Office Party

For the office party (when you can walk around holding a glass of Jim Beam Black® on the rocks and no one will think twice), you still want to dress up, but try giving your look a bit more edge than usual. Go with a slimmer suit than you would normally wear to work, and offset it with a stylish heather gray tee—rather than a dress shirt and tie—and some black leather Chelsea boots. Shop similar: Navy slim-fit wool gabardine suit ($2,990) by Saint Laurent, mrporter.com; Co-Mix grey classic crew T-shirt ($78) by John Elliott, johnelliott.co; black leather Chelsea boots ($570) by Common Projects, mrporter.com

 The Big Pitch

You'll want a strong professional look for big meetings with clients, and fortunately, professional doesn't mean completely devoid of personality. Rather than a basic gray or navy suit, try a subtle check pattern. Then round it off with those business-wear classics—a crisp white dress shirt, a textured tie, and a pair of black cap-toe oxfords.
