The office has changed. Buttoned-up suits used to be the norm — but for the last decade or so, we’ve been loosening our ties and changing workwear dress codes. Even Goldman Sachs doesn’t require workers to dress up anymore.
And, while we may yearn for the days of enforced formality, these newer, more lenient rules have opened up a world of sartorial possibility. So, if you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve laid out four capsules fit for the modern workplace.
