Your Cart is Empty
You’ve probably noticed folks dressing up for the office again, but not in the way they once did. To help you navigate spring’s shifting sartorial currents, we’ve asked a few of our more stylish colleagues to share their trade secrets, including the right way to wear jeans and a tee to work.
Robert Storrow, Merchant
Your style in a nutshell?
Deconstructed, classic, tailored.
Who's your style inspo?
Paul Newman. The man embodies my entire personal style. Combining basics into outfits that look put together but not overly done.
What’s the special sauce of your look?
I love taking tailored pieces with "rules" and mixing in more casual styles for an effortless feel. For example, opting for a linen tee or lightweight sweater instead of a button-down shirt makes a sport coat more of a jacket, and not as stuffy.
How has work dressing changed?
The biggest change has been playing around with fits and silhouettes. I was always a slim, tailored guy but more recently I've given more classic, straight cuts a run.
Joel Fuller, Designer
Your style in a nutshell?
When getting dressed, I always consider comfort, a sense of humor, and balance: proportions, masculine and feminine, classic versus trend.
Your style inspo?
There are celebrities whose style I like — Dev Hynes — but don’t necessarily emulate when putting a look together. Instead, I'm often inspired by people in the real world that I see walking around the city, in art museums, at bars and restaurants or at the park on a spring day.
What’s the special sauce of your look?
The Belmont Suit is a great option for me because it’s a modern take on a classic style, and I always like to dress down suits to make them feel more me, which I’m doing here with my black beanie, a chunky high V-neck sweater and comfortable ASICS sneakers.
How has work dressing changed?
My style evolves pretty regularly every few years, and working in the office has gotten me thinking about outfits that feel appropriate for multiple occasions. Especially during the warmer months, when I have more plans after work.
Blaze Best, Designer
Your style in a nutshell?
A relaxed, modern sporty combination of classical silhouettes. A Samba and selvedge chino with technical on top…capped off, of course.
Your style inspo?
Me, myself and I.
What’s the special sauce of your look?
I’m a big fan of a vest for the layering opportunities. Arsenal is in my heart, so anytime I can wear the crest in a less athletic manner, and make a poly stretch football kit chic, I try my best.
How has work dressing changed?
The people I work with have elevated my style and the sense of thought I put into what I wear. Not only what I wear, but more importantly how I wear them; I think people often neglect that, and let their clothes wear them, instead.

Your style in a nutshell?
A New Yorker in Paris…“minimalist, but not minimalistic,” to quote Victoria Beckham.
Your style inspo?
My mental filter is Eugene Tong meets Jenna Lyons.
What’s the special sauce of your look?
When wider trousers came back around, I wasn't really wearing button-down shirts. So I just paired them with T-shirts and sweatshirts. Kind of a high-low look. And that combination just stuck with me…I probably wear some version of this to the office two or three times a week. It’s my work uniform.
How has work dressing changed?
I started my first job in the #menswear heyday of the early 2010s. So I was in overly tailored shirts and ties and skinny jeans.
