Men Office Wear Thread (2nd Thread)

[Seannie]

Agreed on the tacky comment.

Contrast stitching on buttonholes, different patterns for collars, double colors all quite "beng".

Not suitable for office wear?! Plain shorts are so boring, no motivation to work lei.

Petia shu shu, can u advise which RTW shirt brand is the best most favoured? I m sick of tailored shirt & wants to find real nice & comfy & classy shirts. Can recommend me? I have renoma shirts, not sure any better brands out there? My ofc is v warm with little ventilation cos boss is stingy to get a better ofc so material should be as cool as possible. Thanks.

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations on where to get RTW trousers other than G2000?

 

[Computeron]

so for a grey pants, its safest to wear a white top and brown belt and shoe?

any other options for a grey pants with what colour top? is it mostly are light colour tops like light pink light blue?

white shirt can match light grey to black pants..
to me white shirt killer combo is with light grey pants, light brown belt n shoes...

but not many ppl can take light brown belt n shoes.. all still wearing black...
but never wear white shirt with black pants n belt n shoes.. too common.. looks like some restraunt waiter..

dark navy blue with light grey pants can match.

 

[Computeron]

those shoes dont look slick enough... the colours are trendy, but not those holes... it make u looks like u follow fashion blindly.

Anyone bought Charles Tyrwhitt shirts in extra slim fit size 14.5 before?

In other words, the slimmest and smallest possible from Charles Tyrwhitt.

Can advise on the fit? I'm particularly interested in shoulder slope of the shirts.

Paiseh nv see the question.

RTW must see fit you or not. My preferred brands are

Brooks Brothers: Online sale during Fathers Day and Boxing day.

Sacoor Brothers: Outlet at IMM used to have 3 for 135 offer.

TM Lewin: sometimes got sale with Citibank promotion

Brogue perforations originated from Scotland and Ireland. They are mean to allow ventilation and for water to exit the shoe after walking in swampy terrain.

I don't see how fashionable can this be, when brogues have been around for a long long time.

Don't like TM Lewin. I don't think they are value for money.

Personal opinion: Crocodile is a good alternative and can support local brand.

I like their supima polo t. Very high quality better than Lacoste.

For workwear, Crocodile have a sub branded called N Tyler. I nv tried before though, but design looks classic.

Robinson in house brand John Harold also very good quality cotton.

Fit wise YMMV and the cost after alterations thats why I dont rtw anymore.

i don't know why but n.tyler shirt sleeves are longer than crocodile. not as bad as zara but once you factor in the time and cost of having to alter, i rather tailor make.

 

[deadbeat]

any suggestions on where to get an affordable selection of pocket squares/ties?

My issue with N. Tyler shirts is that most have fused collar, cuffs and the front. Also they dun cater to unique collar size like 15.3/4. So If I can 1/2 size bigger, the armhole will be bigger alot.

Their suit also don't fit me well when button.


My best experience with RTW so far is Benjamin Barker. Fits pretty well.

What's your budget?

I suggest Vanda fine clothings for their pocket square.

In Town, there's tangs, Robinson, Cineleisure, OG etc that sells pocket square below $50. I got 1 from Benjamin Barker for $14.31 after 10% discount.

Anyway, the pocket square from Vanda fine clothing is around $45 onwards.

I buy my ps online. All the pocket square I seen locally in shops are cheap looking (machine stitched, poor quality fabric) or the better ones are very expensive. Here is a list of pocket squares for your consideration, all the below make ties as well.

My set of basics (white, light blue, pink) are made by a tailor friend in Europe 25 EUD onwards

Fine Quality

Vanda Fine Clothing 45 SGD onwards

Sam Hober 25 USD onwards
Kent Wang 20 USD onwards

Budget Conscious

the knottery (wait for sale) 12 USD onwards
the tie bar 8 usd onwards


For my tie collection knit ties from the knottery and silk ties from Sacoor Bros outlet in IMM (quality is quite decent for $36.)
