Drop everything because your work wardrobe is about to get a glow-up. As a fashion director who’s basically a style wizard for Holt Renfrew, I’ve mastered the art of looking polished without breaking a sweat. The secret? Low-effort hacks that make you feel like you’re slaying while still being comfy. Let’s be real—dressing for work shouldn’t feel like a chore, especially when you’re juggling meetings and coffee runs. Here’s how to elevate your work attire without overthinking.
First up: the tie. Yes, the tie. But not the stiff, corporate kind. Think Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut—reimagined with a laid-back, off-duty vibe. Tie it loosely over a quarter-zip sweater, and pair it with dark-wash jeans. It’s like a sneaky fashion flex that still feels totally chill. Pro tip: Keep it relaxed, no need to look like you’re about to board a plane.
Next, layer with a field jacket. Who needs a blazer when you can rock a denim-wool blend? It’s structured enough for meetings but soft enough for a lunch break. Pair it with tailored pants and you’re basically a CEO who’s also a chill vibe. Bonus: It works indoors or out, so you’re basically a fashion chameleon.
When working from home, skip the hoodie and go for a refined sweater. Look for textures that read polished on camera—think cable knits or subtle patterns. Balance it with wide-leg linen pants to keep it relaxed yet intentional. And yes, swap fuzzy slippers for sleek boat shoes. You’re not in a Zoom call, but your feet still need to look like you’re ready to crush it.
💫 Add cargo pants for a modern, utilitarian edge.
Lastly, suit separates are your new BFF. A linen-blend jacket in brown adds polish, but pair it with a wool-silk knit instead of a traditional shirt. It’s relaxed but still sharp. Add cargo pants for a modern, utilitarian edge. You’re basically a fashion hybrid—part professional, part trendsetter.
