MEN’S TIPS
6 ways men too can
elevate office style
M
en should focus on fit, colour and accessories to
look chic at work, says an expert.
1. Fit
First and foremost get the fit right. It should neither be
too small nor too large; neither too short nor too long. A
smaller and tighter size doesn’t flatter those gym workouts nor does bigger size reflect power or masculinity or
weight loss. Get the fit that fits you well and flatters your
body.
2. Style
Fuse some colour into your ensemble. Just because you
are going to work doesn’t mean you need to stick to the
regular blue, white and grey that just makes you a part
of the crowd. Try colours like lavender, yellow, or even
pink. And if you want to go a step further, then move to
stripes and checks.
3. Leather
You have worn black shoes throughout your school life.
Black shoes are great but not when you wear them every
day. Try mixing it up with brown, tan or oxblood. Same
goes for belts. Try and match your belt with shoes. Apart
from colours, try different styles like oxfords, brogues
and monk strap. They all add a bit of edge to your daily
attire.
4. Layering up
Invest in good blazers and sport coats. They help you
dress up or down very easily depending on the occasion. Apart from summer blazers, in winters, you can
layer up with sweaters or knitwear. Even waistcoats are
a good option for your corporate wear.
5. Accessorise
A carefully chosen accessory adds an extra ounce of
chicness to your outfit and boosts your appearance.
Play around with your tie, use clips to break the monotony. Pocket squares are always neglected, but make
them a part of your requisites when wearing a blazer or
a suit.
6. Wallet
Also, make sure to slim down your wallet. You don’t need
those three-year-old receipts anymore. A wallet should
fit in your back pocket comfortably when you sit and not
make you feel like as if you are sitting on an ant hill.
