Every workplace has its own dress code. It is important to adhere to it. Here, we will discuss three office fashion styles to meet every need. Your outfit choice can positively or negatively impact your career and relationship with colleagues. Try stepping into the consulting firm’s office where you work once with ripped jeans or chunky sneakers, and you will understand what we are referring to. The risk of your career in that field ending before the day is over is very high. Of course, the same goes the other way around. No one aspiring to work in an advertising agency as a copywriter would show up for an interview in pinstripes and a briefcase. With our style tips, we will suggest how to dress appropriately, depending on your job.
Formal – Are you a lawyer, a high-level manager, or work in a major bank? Your look must be impeccable. Choose tailored suits (even double-breasted) made from luxurious fabrics like cashmere and silk, crisp starched shirts, and refined ties with subtle motifs. If you hold a prestigious position, opt for classic prints like Prince of Wales, herringbone, or pinstripes. In the gallery: Brooks Brothers, Luigi Bianchi Mantova, Moreschi
“No Ties” – In most companies, a decent yet not overly elegant attire is required. And most importantly, no tie requirement. Go for unlined blazers, casual shirts or knit polos paired with chinos or velvet trousers. In certain cases, even a basic white t-shirt under a navy blue jacket can be a smart choice.

Casual Sporty – If you work in a communication agency, a company in the publishing industry, or have started a startup with friends, you will likely be envied by many because freedom, in this case to dress, is priceless. The opportunities here are almost endless, but be careful not to overdo it. Ripped jeans at the knees? No, thanks. But trendy sneakers, heavy sweatshirts, and plaid shirts are a yes.
