Outfit for today. Usually I don‘t wear jeans to the office, but had to bike there in the morning and streets were still a little wet from the rain. To balance the jeans I added the grey tie, that I inherited from my dad. Navy blazer, most versatile piece in any men‘s wardrobe and loafers / driving shoes to go with the outfit..

Monday blues
Blue/White outfit for a rainy Monday at the office, wondering on which crossroad I took a wrong turn, to not end up a firefighter, astronaut, veterinarian or at least part of the avengers..
- Linen Blazer
- Blue slim fit cotton chino
- Blue/white striped shirt
- White/blue/red seankers
All things from Massimo Dutti, except the sneakers. Got those pieces in 2021 in summer sale, Blazer was 99€, Chino was 20ish and shirt was also below 20€.
Great quality for those prices, but wouldn’t by it without discount.
Enjoy you day!

Sunday brunch, feels like spring
Off to some good friends, enjoying delicious food in the almost spring sun.
Blue Linen Blazer, with a white shirt below, some grey wool chinos and slippers. Pocketsquare is a must, (no-show) socks are optional.

Light suit & dark shirt
Really like the combination of a lighter shaded suit and a dark shirt, not to much John Wick, and working good with mir light Caucasian skin tone before I could enjoy the summer sun.
Sneakers always dress down the suit a bit, so I don’t stand out too negatively in the office.
Enjoy your work, or atleast try to tolerate the bullshit as zen/stoic as you can.

Make a tie work in a workplace that doesn’t dress the part
I love wearing ties, but in the modern office environment pairing it with a suit really offends most people, when even senior leadership is showing up, like the just came down the mountains in functional outdoorsy stuffy and birkenstocks.
So oftentimes I swap the suit for a cardigan and some chinos and dress it down even further with some white sneakers.
The cardigan hides the better part of the tie and minimizes the gap to all the coworker.
If you have customer contact, go for the classic suit& tie look, embrace it.
