Men Office Wear Thread (2nd Thread)

Guys, just to check whether any recommendation to get a suitable jacket which can fit the business shirt and pants in office?

What type of jacket I can look around and any recommendation where to get?

Are you referring to the sweater jacket kind or suit "jacket"?

zara's sleeves are so ridiculously long that even their models have to tuck in the sleeves's excess cloth into the cuffs

Tts why before I do mtm, I only buy from Zara. Almost just right for me even though sometimes still a lil short.

Hello all. Can I ask if Ben Sherman shirts are any good?

Wanna buy good quality OTR slim fit shirts.

Not suit jacket, I only wear long sleeve shirt with pant in office so looking for some kind of sweater jacket just in case the air-con too cold.

Check out Zara's jacket collection. I think it might be easier for you to find and try on what works for you there.

Prices can vary also so there's a chance it'll end up within your budget. I picked out a few for you based on function and prices:

$139: Suede jacket

$159: Faux leather combination jacket

Another faux leather combination jacket <--- I like this a lot!

$189: Limited jacquet jacket <---- if you want something "cooler", but I'd still go with the previous one


Went with black because I thought it'd suit most office people. Take note that you'll need clothes that fit you well to look your best in this. Otherwise you might end up looking like a wannabe-hipster...

Hope I helped!

Personal experience: They're expensive, and even if their fabric is nice to touch and the shop experience is nice, remember that ultimately its only the shirt you wear on. So I'd recommend you check the fit (because everyone sells their own fitting sizings), length and material before buying. What kind of shirts are you looking for, casual, officewear, or polo?

100% cotton is the way to go for our brand! We do custom MTM at a lower price, if you're interested

Hi guys, may I ask how big should the shirt cuff be (say my wrist is around 6'')?
And if you are wearing a watch, should the watch be hidden in the cuff?

This depends on whether you're going for a buttoned or a french cuff.

We're usually adding 2 inches to your wrist circumference for a buttoned cuff. The average wrist measures 7 to 7.5 inches so 9 to 9.5 inches is a good base measurement for a buttoned cuff. For a french cuff I would add another 0.5 inches.

As for the watch; some people prefer to not obstruct their watch with the cuff, some prefer to have the cuff easily slider over the watch - it's a pure matter of preference. A 0.5 inch addition should do the job and cover the watch nicely (depending on the thickness of your watch, of course).

Hope that helps.

Any recommendations for best fitting office pants? I know G2000 pants are cheap but like to get any feedback on other brands like Goldlion, Renoma etc.
