How Can Men Look Stylish and Make the Right Impression at Office?

Listen to this article

In our present world, where we are constantly bombarded by images of people (we are talking about the dudes here) posing perfectly on various social media platforms, we feel a kind of pressure building on us to dress stylishly. On the bright side, there’s more acceptance in our social and corporate cultures where men can dress in a stylish way than the previously rigid standards of an oxford shirt, trousers and laid back loafers. That being said, it doesn’t mean you go off showing your biceps in a quarter sleeve shirt at the office because we are still conservative about that and yes, there’s an exception to the rule and those are the casual days when the office rule is relaxed and everyone is allowed to come in casual wear.

The basics for men in the corporate world remain constant but that’s a good thing because without spending a ton on your wardrobe, you can create an aura of stylishness. Let’s get at it:

Invest in Tailored Suits/Pants in Light & Dark Colors

Understandably, you don’t want to go through the hassle of going and buying the material, finding a good tailor, going in for measurements and getting your pants tailored. But all those guys on the cover of those glossy magazines and the red carpet are wearing tailored suits. You may argue, I have always worn regular pants and it fits fine. Be honest, does it? Make the effort once and you won’t regret it and your bespoke tailoring will make a lasting impression whether you are attending a meeting or another day at the workplace.

Avoid Checkered Shirts & Say no to Jeans

You can go for a thin striped shirt in traditional colors but not in more than two colors, one for the shirt and one for the stripes is all that you need. If you need to spice up your look then check out the collection at ABC, as they have some incredible apparel, footwear and accessories just for the office. Jeans fall good on most physiques but they are a no go for the office if you want to appear well-dressed at all times.

Pay Attention to Details 

Since men’s wardrobe consists of solid color palettes such as black, blues, greys, browns, people’s eyes subconsciously pick up details so match one accessory (in this case, it can be the belt) with either your shirt or pant. If you are wearing a sea-green formal shirt then pair it with a belt that closely matches that color. At Namshi Code, you can get an array of belts at bargain prices by redeeming the Namshi Code.

Your Watch Should Reflect You

Wear a watch that represents your personality. For example, if you think you are a serious and reserved kind of a person then go for a watch (a smart watch works well too) that looks dark and mysterious even if you choose the metallic version instead of the leather watch. Likewise, if you are open, make friends easily then go for a watch that easily catches the eye, with its strong color or the design of the dial.
