How To Make Your Office Outfit Evening-Ready

Does your meticulously planned office wardrobe work after hours? Here are our top tips to staying stylish even after you’ve clocked off.

1. Change your shirt

Be prepared for post-work events by keeping a fresh shirt at the office. When you’re heading out, lose your tie and undo a couple of buttons.

2. Add a pocket square

Inject some flair into your conservative suit by tucking a soft-coloured pocket square into your jacket pocket.

3. Roll up your sleeves

For an easy way to achieve a look that’s more casual than corporate, try rolling up your shirt and jacket sleeves.

4. Ignore your phone

Checking emails over drinks or dinner won’t win you any friends. Instead, set your phone to silent and enjoy yourself.

5. Lose the briefcase

Swap your work bag for something more manageable. A streamlined wallet or cardholder is a chic way to store your after-work essentials.

6. Swap lace-ups for loafers

Show some personality and stand out from the regular evening crowd with a pair of tasselled loafers. Roll your trousers up and lose your socks for a more relaxed look.

7. Business scents

Refresh with some fragrancefree deodorant and a splash of cologne. But remember not to overdo it – keep things subtle with no more than a few wellplaced spritzes.
