When it comes to men’s fashion, it’s easy to think there’s not much scope for change, especially for business wear. But I’m here to tell you that there’s a lot of cool – and I mean cool – stuff out there!
You can still look crisp and smart, while flicking between the aircon and the outdoors. Keep that freshly-ironed “uppercrust” look by using certain fabrics; and get some fresh colours into your wardrobe, too. Try these stores for starters.
From classic formals to quirky casuals
The Shirt Bar has a huge selection of casual and workwear. The Eco-ol Bamboo Collection is one that the “non-ironers”, in particular, will love! Among the key benefits of this collection is that it’s intrinsically wrinkle-free, and remains that way even after many washes. It also has a soft and silky feel and is antibacterial, anti-UV and odor-resistant. The pieces are very comfortable and cool – a perfect fit for our climate – and they’re available in short and long sleeves.
Another option if you don’t have to wear a suit and tie to work or an event is a blazer. It transitions from casual to smart really easily and you can be a bit more adventurous with the colours. The Shirt Bar has some super-cool tailored-fit blazers – here are the deets:
• They’re knitted not woven, which gives them some stretchability.
• They’re single-breasted and half-lined, allowing for air to move much more freely through the fabric.
• The right inner-chest pocket is lined with technologically advanced fabric that acts as an RFID (radio-frequency identification) blocker to keep your digital information from your cards safe.
