It doesn’t matter what you do or where your line of work takes you. What matters is that you always look like the best version of yourself, every day. Here’s what to wear to work and beyond in 2018

Only What Suits You

While rigid dress codes and traditional office environments might be on the endangered list, that doesn’t mean suits are a dying breed. Quite the contrary. In fact, some of the world’s leaders in traditional suiting are changing the formula to adapt to more casual, cool or street-influenced style of getting suited up. It’s all about the youth. And the point is quite simple: looking sharp and presentable never goes out of style. 

So why not look the part with a suit that fits your personality or professional point of view? Whether you’re chained to a desk, spend your life on the go, or are subject to the endless demands of a social media following, here’s how to look cool in a suit in 2018 no matter your field of expertise.

GREY OF LIFE When to wear itA grey suit is a traditional work staple and is therefore an investment piece, perfect for an office environment and much more. It works well with all skin tones and is particularly strong with black, white, metallic or earthy pairing options. It’s also great with vivid accents of colour, like red. It’s less ‘junior’ than a blue suit and can easily be broken down into separates. It can also be worn more casually or more leisurely, according to taste.  

What to avoidBeing too traditional or formulaic in your styling of a grey suit. Go for precision tailoring. Grey can read quite flat, so opt for superior quality fabric, with subtle texture or some kind of sheen or lustre, possibly even a slight print motif to enhance your look from 2-D into 3-D. 

How to give it some lifeThis is Africa. Go for a bold-printed shirt in grey, black and white. You don’t need a tie. If, however, you’re stuck on a white shirt, make sure it’s a higher thread count so it really pops. Alternatively, try a light grey shirt for tonal variety. Your tie and accessories will have to do most of the talking. Go for silver details on your accessories, like a tie bar and bold watch. A grey suit is the perfect compliment to black shoes, like a pair of bold monk straps with a metallic detail of some sort. A racy messenger briefcase is also a cool alternative to the traditional style.

It’s all about more relaxed styling and pairing choices

ON SUNDAY WE GO FOR GOLD

There’s no better colour to celebrate the day of the sun than a dark gold suit, paired with a Bluecollarwhitecollar floral shirt, which of course speaks to the idea of generation and regeneration. While you can certainly dress this suit more formally or business-like, this just illustrates that suits can be worn more leisurely for non-work daytime dos, or for a bit of fun in the sun. It’s all about more relaxed styling and pairing choices.

AN HOROLOGICAL ALL-ROUNDER

There are two basic styles of watch that every young man needs in his artillery of accessories: a classic white dial analogue with a black leather strap, and a silver chainlink analogue. The former is an all-access go to that will pair well with most things and can also be worn with a tuxedo, when duty calls, while the latter is just a slight notch above the black option, as it reads a touch more elegant. It will really help you elevate your suited look and is a cinch to pair with most looks. Of course Hallmark is a readily available and easily accessible brand for young men.

SPEND SMART

When you’re a young businessman, you have three choices: spend more on a suit with a fancy label, spend a lot on having something tailor-made from scratch, or spend less on a suit from a trusted retail powerhouse that’s been servicing this country for decades, and then spend a little more on having said suit tailored to fit you like a glove. When starting out, perhaps option three makes the most sense, which also frees you up to spend a little extra on a great quality shirt from Bluecollarwhitecollar.

The Golden Hour

Life is only getting faster, more frantic and noisier as we head into the future. Silence is golden. Keep some time to yourself, so you can stop and smell the flowers once in a while. A Michael Kors gold watch will help you savour those precious moments.
