5 Men’s Workwear Looks That Always Deliver

If you need some sartorial inspiration to take to the office, we’ve got five failsafe men’s workwear looks that always deliver. From classic tailoring to denim for more casual days – plus pops of colour to keep things spring-appropriate – scroll to recreate some of our favourites.
Look 1
On the surface, this is a classic office-appropriate look. Loafers: check. Mid-blue shirt: check. Trusty chinos: yep. But the addition of a vest underneath the open shirt gives it that extra fashion edge.

Look 2
While navy and grey are the go-to for finance bros, warmer brown and caramel tones will give your look a softer feel. For days when you don’t want to look quite as smart, swap the tailored trousers for a pair of straight-leg jeans – very JFK Jr.

Christian Petty is an Instagram favourite for comfortable yet elevated looks, styled with a masterful mix of high street and investment pieces. Case in point: here, he pairs classic tailoring with indigo denim and some well-chosen accessories.

Look 4
For work environments that don’t feel too formal, a good shacket is key. We love Octobre Éditions’ Will Jacket, which comes in a myriad of shades; this pale blue-green colour is perfect for spring. Pair it with a knitted polo, brown trousers, and a neckerchief for something a little different without going wild.

Look 5
Style influencer Francesco Teddy gives us business on the bottom, but keeps things cool and low-key with a retro Henley shirt up top. Elevate the look with some sleek, minimalist accessories. Men’s bags are big news this season, thanks to the likes of Jacob Elordi and Harry Styles – and we’re not talking about your trusty rucksack. Be brave and add a clutch or top-handle style to your look, or something in-between, like this briefcase-inspired shape from Zara.
