LESSON 5 · Style Rules for Men

The Office Essentials

Office dressing is where most men struggle, because the rules are unwritten and inconsistent. The safest strategy is matching the formality level of your direct manager, then adding one personal touch that makes you memorable without being distracting.

Start with the basics: well-fitted chinos or dress pants, a quality collared shirt, and clean leather shoes. From this foundation, add your personality through subtle details like an interesting watch, a pocket square, or a distinctive belt.
