Office style has changed. In 2025, it’s about looking approachable, put-together, and professional—without feeling stiff or out of touch. You don’t want to be the guy in a basic golf polo and tech pants. But you also don’t want to be the guy in a boardroom suit when no one else is wearing one.

The key is finding that middle ground: sophisticated, but inviting.

One way to master the balance? Swap the traditional blazer for a knit cardigan worn like a jacket. It gives you the polish of tailoring with the comfort of a sweater—smart, but effortless.

Another move: introduce more texture. A guncheck sportcoat paired with quarter-weight trousers immediately feels more casual (and far less corporate) than a standard navy blazer. 

Stick to an earth-tone palette—think olive, brown, tan—which feels warm and approachable without losing professionalism.

And yes, you can still wear a polo to the office. Just make it smarter. Skip the logos, skip the shiny tech fabrics. Instead, opt for a tailored cotton or cotton-silk polo and pair it with a sharp, properly fitted trouser.

At the end of the day, it’s about dressing for the culture—while still standing out for all the right reasons.
