I know a lot of people who work in less creative environments who always constantly find ways and means to inject color, style and individuality into seemingly cookie-cutter, expected work-attire. The thing is simplicity – something that speaks volume without shouting. It could be shoes, a scarf, pocket square, cufflinks etc. The list goes on.
Another way to inject some color and detail is through this fantastic shirt by Dries Van Noten. The white shirt is every man’s wardrobe staple (be it weekend or work) and this piece gives you the formality of a white shirt with a sliver of complimentary detail – black and red stripes. The stripes look tasteful and polished especially with how they end at the third quarter of the button placket. A design that instantly catches your attention.
The best thing about this is that it is quiet and gracious – it allows you to show it off without looking desperate for attention. Details like that are what sets the ones who know from the ones who blindly follow.
