Shirts For returning to the office, you want to make sure that your shirt options are both versatile and breathable. Although most modern offices have air conditioning, if you have to leave the office suddenly for an off-site client meeting or impromptu lunch, you’ll want something light and easy to wear if the weather is particularly hot or humid. Gingham Long Sleeve Shirt Our Gingham long sleeve shirts are a must for a comfortable style. Designed with a tailored fit to add to your professional look, these shirts are crafted with super lightweight cotton that allows the shirt to breathe, even on hot days. Available in a variety of colours, this shirt can be left untucked for a more casual look or tucked in if you’re heading to meetings. Look to pair the shirt with a pair of chinos for a more comfortable look or business pants for an on-trend business aesthetic. Easy Care Bengal Shirt Another great option for a comfortable office shirt is our GAZMAN tried and true Easy Care Bengal shirt. These shirts are a staple in the GAZMAN collection, and thanks to their versatility, they can be styled up or down depending on the occasion. Designed with a more relaxed cut in a variety of colours and patterns, this shirt makes it super easy to stay comfortable while working from the office. Even better yet, this shirt is also very easy to care for. Just wash like normal and with a quick iron, you’ll be ready to head out the door in no time. Pants For your pant options, it can be a little tricky to find something comfortable to wear during the hotter months that is also office appropriate. Keeping to a dress code is crucial for office attire, looking professional and making a good first impression to stakeholders or potential clients, and your pants play an important role in your overall look. Chinos The chino pant is a staple for many wardrobes, as they can be worn for multiple occasions and pair well with many different looks. For the office, chinos are a popular option as it allows for a little more stretch and comfortability, especially when sitting at a desk, while also providing a sense of professionalism. For elevated style, add a neutral-coloured leather belt to your ensemble, or if you really need to step up your look, make sure your alternate between dark and light colours – dark coloured chinos with a white or light coloured shirt and a dark tie to match. This will give the impression of professional attire without compromising on comfort. Feather Weight Five Pocket Pant A newer addition to the GAZMAN collection, our Feather Weight Five Pocket Pants is a great option for summer office attire. Designed to fit like jeans without the heavy material, these pants are the perfect go-to for lightweight comfort that doesn’t compromise on style. These pants come in a range of colours, perfect for the warmer summer weather, so don’t be afraid to experiment with colours this summer. Pair with a belt to elevate your style and an easy-care shirt for all-around easy wearability in the office. Summer Workwear Extra Tips and Tricks Bring a Blazer Depending on your office, the hot weather usually means that the air conditioning will be flowing, and although that will feel relaxing initially, it can become a little chilly while sitting at a desk. We’d recommend bringing a lightweight blazer to the office just in case it becomes a little too cold. This will make sure that you can stay at an optimal body temperature without heating up too much. The blazer can be hung on a coat rack or the back of your chair and is a great option for staying comfortable. Have a Tie Handy For those all too often impromptu meetings and client calls, having an extra tie in your work bag or desk draw canquickly and easily elevate your outfit. This will make sure that you always look put together and professional for those important meetings, even if wearing a tie isn’t part of the overall office dress code. Opt for one or two basic-coloured ties, like black and navy, and keep them close by when you’re at the office. Remember to Take it Easy It’s been a long time since we were all in an office together, so don’t forget to take a break if you need it – take a quick walk outside to stretch your legs or go get a coffee if you need. Remember, everyone’s transition back to the office might look different, so be patient and take the time you need to be comfortable.
