Three ways to dress for the office

Of course everyone has experienced ”business casual”, ”casual Friday” or ”semi-formal”. It’s sometimes vague, but still there are expectations and wishes about how we should dress. The majority of workplaces do not have a dress code, however you are both expected and want to dress fittingly. Light jackets, tweed blazers and over shirts set the tone for combinations that says more about the user than fulfilling the paragraphs of dusty, old rulebooks. Be bold, set new frames and try new things. Why think outside the box, when the true geniuses already know that the “box” doesn’t exist. At the same time you will see the garments in more than one combination, to show how versatile the garments really are.

Corduroy and flannel

A corduroy over shirt creates a timeless feeling, especially when combined with black woollen trousers and handmade Derby’s from the British company; Crocket & Jones it’s the perfect non-conventional option for the office. The shirt worn underneath is as much a warming compliment as it is an interesting accessory with its classic chequered pattern. A familiar colour, in a new vintage style. Sturdy Vibram-soles function just as well at the office as in the urban jungle, due to their excellent grip and durability.

Blazer and shirt

With a tweed blazer worn on top of a short or long sleeved polo shirt you get a proven office garment, new energy through a less expected but at the same time easy-to-carry combination of garments. In addition to the blazer’s gentle construction, we have also chosen a soft and pleasant shirt, which with a minimalist houndstooth pattern still has edge and intention. It’s a shirt that triumphs with or without a blazer, tucked into the trousers with rolled up sleeves.

Overshirt and light trousers

This over shirt, made of brushed wool is already a classic. With endless combinations to build your style with, we choose a layer upon layer variant where a cardigan from the Danish company Sunflower gives an exciting colour tone and uniformity with the Oxford shirt. The shirt, which is worn without being buttoned-up gathers inspiration from Japan. A pair of ecru coloured chinos are bright enough to create a pleasant contrast, without sticking too much out from the crowd, much as a pair of white jeans easily does.
