Another day and another commute to work. Have you, like thousands of other men out there got a bit stuck in a repeated style rut of shirts, khakis and blazers, wearing the same types of garments repeatedly, best case varying colours or fabrics? A style that needless to say is never wrong, but might lack the pzazz and boost of energy that new rags inject every once in a while? Fear not! Below, we present you with three combinations that add a bit of edge to the everyday ensemble, without making the beholder think of neither a runway show, nor a strictly formal event. Patterns, proportions and the choice of shoes will breathe new life into the ensembles.

Graphic patterns by J. Lindeberg

J. Lindeberg add pop and graphic vitality to the crew-neck knitwear, and we add to the playful expression a pair of black loafers of absolute premium quality. The shirt collar still anchors the look in the well dressed realm, at the same time as the soft Tencel fabric maintains an extremely comfortable sensation to wear. An overall contemporary and energetic mix for the less formal workplace.

Double breasted with attitude, by Oscar Jacobson

The double-breasted blazer from Oscar Jacobson in classic camel wool, brings classic tailoring into contemporary style. The jacket makes the perfect partner in an otherwise all black monochrome ensemble. Wearing it you are ready to close substantial client deals, or just embrace a more tailored, still laid back approach to everyday life. Altogether, you are still appropriately dressed for casual hangouts with friends after work. Details like a good watch and premium level shoes enhance the impression that you know what you are doing, business-wise as well as style-wise.

Retro yellow shirt by Stenströms

The dreamy, creamy yellow shirt from century old Swedish shirt maker Stenströms is an icon reborn from the eighties and nineties hey-days. The fit is impeccable, along with the green pleated pants combo. If you feel lite pressing up the level even further than the sharp pant-creases, you add a tie connecting to the colour of the pants, worn with an attitude like it is the most natural thing you’ve done in ages.
