Solving Your Biggest Style Dilemmas

Q This year, I’m ditching my briefcase, since it’s falling apart. Should I just get a replacement?

A. We’d suggest going for a hybrid instead. The way we move through the world now requires a durability that a leather briefcase can’t quite offer. Plus, thanks to our phones, we need both hands free most of the time. The solution: a backpack in strong technical nylon that can flip to briefcase mode as you glide into the office. This backpack has a built-in compartment for your power bank that connects to a USB socket, so you can charge your devices whether you’re stuck in morning traffic or sitting in a meeting.

POWER BACKPACK R1 999 K-WAY AT CAPE UNION MART, CHECK BLAZER R1 599 ZARA, BOMBER JACKET R 6 6 9 9 CALVIN KLEIN, DUST EVO LONG-SLEEVE TEE R199 SOVIET, JOGGERS R950 ISSA LEO, GEL-LYTE V SANZE TRAINERS R1 400 ASICS.

Q. I’ve got broad shoulders. If I buy a dress shirt that fits my arms, it’s always puffy around the waist. What should I do?

A. The tough answer: pay a visit to your tailor. He can take in the waist if your shirt fits in the arms and shoulders. The better answer: find brands that make options cut for broader guys, such as Hugo Boss’s “sharp fit” shirt or Thomas Pink’s Athletic Fit shirt. It shows off your work at the gym when you have to be at actual work.

AVIATOR SUNGLASSES R4 299 SUPER AT MOSCON OPTICS, MERKANA SHIRT R1 900 TED BAKER, TIE R899 CALVIN KLEIN, NAVIGATOR WATCH R5 995 HUGO BOSS AT BACHER & CO, BELT R959 CALVIN KLEIN, PANTS R679 ZARA.
