Indochino

While suiting at the office isn't quite as much the norm as it used to be, it pays off to find a reliable source for all your tailoring needs, and Indochino is the star of the show in that regard. The company makes it easier than ever to shop for a crisp, perfectly fitted suit online (or in its showrooms, if you could use a tune-up on your measurements). There's a wide variety of colors, styles, patterns, and looks to be found at Indochino, whether your office dress code leans more conservative or more modern — the company also makes shirts, pants, blazers, outerwear, and more.

Public Rec

These days, the lines are a bit more blurred when it comes to dressing for the office. Some office dress codes are becoming more lax, some aren't requiring employees to venture into the office nearly as much, and nearly every space allows for more flexibility in terms of comfort and casually cool style. Public Rec is the menswear brand for the office in these times, offering supremely comfortable yet polished stretch polos, exceptionally soft stretch pants with the cut of a dress trouser, and even soft stretch tees you can rock under a blazer.

Suitsupply

Recall what we said about dressing with confidence for the office — confidence and variety are all part of the equation. And for menswear that leans a bit more bold, but just as useful for when you need to look sharp in the boardroom, Suitsupply nearly has the market cornered. They're yet another useful online resource for easy-to-buy men's suiting in a variety of fabrics, along with all the accessories you need in case your office calls for you to suit up frequently. And either way, you'll look remarkably sharp, no matter how stressful deadlines might be.

Buck Mason
Buck Mason
Dressing for the office with some of the best work clothes brands can mean plenty of different things based on where your office is located, how many times a week you head into the office, and if your office is a little more flexible. For meeting those shifting demands in a polished yet more laidback fashion, look to the rugged-meets-refined Americana menswear of Buck Mason. For expertly crafted Oxford shirts, work-ready chinos, and even affordable, soft-shouldered jackets and chinos, this brand perfectly bridges the gap between past and present.

Twillory
Twillory
Dealing with the demands of a commute and office life can be stressful — the menswear you're rocking shouldn't stress you out, though. It should move with you rather than against you, it should meet the demands of hot (or cold) weather, and it certainly shouldn't feel restrictive. Twillory's focus on performance menswear, which started with stretch shirting, emphasizes comfort and crisp looks all the way.
Our editors' picks:
Mizzen+Main
Mizzen+Main
For the past decade, Mizzen+Main has been outfitting guys for occasions, more formal and casual, with tailored performance and comfort in mind — both are key tenets to focus on as you dress for the office. After all, the right performance dress shirt can go a long way, whether layered on its own, underneath a stretch cotton sweater, or styled with a blazer. Mizzen+Main shirts (and more) are suited for each of those wearing occasions, and then some.

YChroma Apparel
YChroma
In just a short period of time since its 2023 launch, YChroma Apparel has started to shift the way guys dress — fresh, colorful, more vibrant, and more confident, which includes its key customer base of established men looking to reinvent a wardrobe with a bit more flair and a modern-meets-classic touch. However, its fresh spin on the classics works for just about anyone. The results are eye-catching and refreshing, and many of its styles are certainly office-ready: Perfectly tailored trousers in rich colors, dress shirts that can be, well, dressed up or down, and flattering V-neck sweaters that make any guy look like he's in great shape.

Everlane
Everlane
It can be hard at times for a new brand to make waves when sticking to the classics — like Oxford shirting, slim chinos, and blazers. But Everlane has done that, and then some, disrupting the industry with transparent sourcing and production practices, focused all the while on minimal menswear that's perfectly office-ready. At fair prices, Everlane assuredly makes some of the best men's work clothes, and they often do it using sustainable fabrics and better-for-the-environment factory processes.

Bonobos

There's plenty of competition in this century when it comes to brands that have fundamentally changed the way guys dress, and that certainly includes how to dress for the office. In the world of men's pants, Bonobos perfected the fit and fabric of the chino, using an innovative curved waistband, better fabric, and playful colors. The company has since expanded deep into crisp dress shirts, expert tailoring, and office-ready pants and sweaters at accessible price points. For your 9-to-whenever grind, amp up your closet with Bonobos.

The company takes the same technology that makes its boxers and boxer briefs a bestseller, and incorporates it into a range of office-approved stretch button-downs, performance pants, and even a knit blazer that feels as comfortable as a T-shirt. Once you try Mack Weldon's office menswear, you'll see why they're firmly one of the best work clothes brands for men.
