Male office wear ?

Question

We have an argument in our office at present over suit colours.

I only ever wear High end black suits and decent coloured shirts from white through to black, although tend to avoid lime and obscene pastels. Footwear is always formal and of a brown or black.

My colleauge on the other hand wears very neutral shirts and diffrent coloured suits from black through to almost cream. with varying shoes and styles to match whatever he is wearing.

We work in a fairly laid back office but must be smart at all times. Although when seeing customers ties are not required.

Which do you think is best ?

Answer 1

Go with the black suit summer & winter. Its smart and enables you to wear any colour shirt.

Answer 2

Well black is certainly more formal. I also work in a company where we need to be suited (during meetings with customers and negotiations). We generally break out the black suits only when we want to look formidable and professional.

The attire is usually more casual during ordinary work days- navy, gray, or beige suits with shirts (tie being optional).

Answer 3

The formal black/navy suit..not really bothered about colour of shirt.. but shoes must match suit.

always gives a good impression.. my personal preference is navy suit

Answer 4

Right!

Black Suit, White Shirt, Gold,Pink or Red Tie
Black Shoes - laces not required nowadays!

Thats what i wear!!

Answer 5

Your style ie Black and dark suits is more office like & professional so keep doing what you are doing. Don't worry about it so much you both sound smart & its only work - its what you look like outside the office that really matters!

Answer 6

The very previous rule is White after easter yet no longer after labor day. It holds actual for the two adult adult males and ladies. he's no longer incorrect in wearing white pants to the place of work. i'm able to't remark on the outfit as an entire i haven't considered it. only element i'm able to assert is he's a braver guy than I. I wera something white and it finally ends up getting stained.

Answer 7

I personally would not wear brown shoes with a black suit. Otherwise, I say, to each his own.

Answer 8

They both sound OK - although a dark suit is more business like.

Answer 9

Sorry to say this but you did ask - variety is the spice of life and if you are not restricted would say that your colleague has got it right.

Answer 10

As long as it's smart the rest is up to you, what you feel comfortable and well dressed in.
