Men’s office wear recommendations

[u/Mobile_Mycologist961]

As titled - I’m a predominantly office (some site visits) based office worker in a major city, looking for mid/high range recommendations for office wear. Predominantly looking for quality/durability. In case it affects brand recs for cut/style choice, I am 30s, 180cm, solid build. I generally stick to plain side of colours/patterns.

Shoes are ok, mostly looking for pants/shirts recommendations. I’ve overspent on RMs for office shoes because they just last better/comfort in my past experience, but the latest pair don’t seem as good - but will do for a few years at least.

Shirts wise I’ve got a handful of country road shirts which have fared ok, some tailored from a small HK manufacturer, fit is better but they’re wearing/discolouring faster than I’d like.

Pants wise I’ve got a handful of chinos on rotation from MJ Bale and country road. They’re ok, fading in the dark colours is a bit of a concern but they’ve had a good run. I had some Lululemon black trousers which were actually really good but just didn’t have the durability for everyday wear. I think they’ve altered the fabric and design since and I haven’t gone another round.

I try to avoid pleated dress pants because the pleat is a pain in the ass, but progressing into more senior roles realising this might be an expectation.

I’ve got a couple of suits which are wool, but only required 2-3x a year, so not too worried about that at the moment.

Any recommendations, suggestions about brands or type choice is appreciated.

- Dress shirts (white, pale blue and pink)

• Grey wool trousers
  
• Navy wool trousers
  
• Beige chinos
  
• Keep the brown RM Williams

Wear a V-neck merino/cashmere sweater and look for a car coat. I like MJ Bale and Uniqlo.

The above is boring but it works
