The GQ Guide to Office Style in 2025 and Beyond
GQ Recommends100 corporate-friendly ways to stunt on your colleagues this year, handpicked by the Recommends squad.By Avidan GrossmanJanuary 14, 2025Photos: Bowen Fernie; Collage by Brittany LogginsSave this storySaveSave this storySaveAll products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.If our feckless corporate overlords have anything to say about it, 2025 is going to be a banner year for office style. We’re not totally surprised: long before folks were kvetching about HR-mandated return-to-work policies, we clocked a shocking amount of fellas getting capital-D Dressed to hit the office once, twice, even three times a week—entirely of their own volition.Is dragging your tired, aching body back to your crowded, hideously fluorescent workplace a tough pill to swallow? It sure was for us. But we’ve got just the sugar you need to help this particular medicine go down: our first-ever shoppable guide to office style, jam-packed with wardrobe stalwarts painstakingly curated by the GQ Recommends squad.What passes as appropriate office attire is, of course, highly subjective—and the etiquette that informs it has been in flux since Wall Street swapped the brash pinstriped suits for branded fleece vests. (We’d suggest familiarizing yourself with our handy list of Dos and Dont’s to help you puzzle through the nuances.) But if any of you sickos skimmed an ominous “Re: In-Person Attendance” email from your employer and immediately rushed to your closet, this guide might be exactly what you need.Take a quick gander and you’ll find no shortage of traditional corporate trappings—razor-sharp suits, ultra-crisp dress shirts, spit-shined leather derbies. Scroll a bit further, though, and you’ll also see a grip of non-corny menswear upgrades ready-made for your office’s newly casual vibe. Just started a gig at a next-gen consultancy with no discernible dress code? Try a fuzzy shetland sweater, rumpled Oxford shirt, and pleated corduroy pants. Five years into a job at a laid-back ad agency with a laughably amorphous remit? A flannel and jeans is totally valid—as long as it’s the right flannel and jeans. Worried about scandalizing the top brass at your white-sneaker law firm? An icy-blue button-up, wooly gray trousers, and black loafers will help you stunt on the associates in stretchy chinos.Keep reading to get a taste of the assortment or check out the entire spread at the official Office Style Shop.The Aspiring C-SuiterPolo Ralph LaurenTailored Glen Plaid Sport Coat$998 Polo Ralph LaurenAnglo-ItalianPoint Collar Shirt Cotton$182 Anglo-ItalianAuraleeBlack Super Light Wool Tie$265 $159 SSENSEMorjasThe Belt$140 MorjasBuck MasonItalian Wool Flannel Graduate Pant$348 Buck MasonGucci1953 Horsebit Leather Loafer$1,050 Mr PorterThe Personality HireMadewellRaglan-Sleeve Topcoat in Italian Fabric$398 MadewellBeams PlusBrushed Checked Jacquard Cardigan$305 Mr PorterMfpenStraight-Leg Pleated Wool Suit Trousers$310 Mr PorterTimexMarlin Hand-Wound Watch$199 $161 AmazonMaximum HenrySlim 3 Piece Belt$155 Alex MillPradaCollapse Mixed Media Low Top Sneaker$975 NordstromThe Nutty ProfessorBuck MasonShetland Tweed Countryman Blazer$798 Buck MasonWytheWashed Denim Pearlsnap Shirt$208 HuckberryKingsmanShetland Wool Sweater$170 Mr PorterOrSlowStraight-Leg Selvedge Jeans$340 Mr PorterTissotPRX GTS Powermatic 80 Bracelet Watch$725 NordstromR.M.
