The Office Formula

What works depends on your workplace culture. A traditional office leans formal: tailored trousers, a dress shirt, leather shoes, and optionally a blazer. A business-casual setting relaxes it a notch, swapping in an oxford shirt and chinos or dark jeans.

The goal is looking intentional without being overdressed. A three-piece suit in a hoodie office misses as badly as shorts in a corporate one. Read the room, then dress one small notch above the average.
