When the office demands a suit, there's no confusion about what is appropriate. In the casual office setting, it can be hard to get the look just right. Sometimes, the outfit is too casual (jeans); sometimes it seems formal and stuffy (heavy wool sport coat ). The pieces above offer a great solution. The traditional herringbone sport coat gets an update in fit. Notice that the jacket ends at the high hip and has a fitted (but not tight) shape. The windowpane dress shirt and twill pants create a nice line because of the similar tones. Adding a knit tie and dress boot is a bit fashion forward without risking too much. Accessories finish the look: a simple yet elegant watch, tie bar (go for it!) and beautiful scored leather belt. The lines in the belt reflect the lines of the windowpane plaid. And finally, choose an unexpected bag: a nylon backpack rather than the traditional leather briefcase.
