Pants and shirt: Gap |
Shoes: Cole Haan

Who says you can’t have some color when in formal mode? Without a doubt, the laws of formal attire have seemed to change since our father’s time. Simple white shirts and black slacks have gone out the window while patterns, pastels, and fitted pants have taken over. With this change, have come the rules of office attire and regular outer wear.

With all that being said, we recently had an opportunity to catch up with our friend Kris. Today, Kris shows off one of his transitional, office looks.

He explains, “I have worn this to work, business meetings and went straight to happy hour.”

The lovely thing about a blazer is that you can switch it up from the cramped cubicle in the office to drinking your favorite grown man drink.

Although ties can be worn with blazers, it was not needed and would have taken away from this styled olive oil look. Kris agrees, “A tie is absent with this blazer because it is hard to go a blazer like this justice with a tie, especially since the blazer is decorated enough to make a statement.”

So, if this post teaches you anything, remember to switch up your plain khaki office attire. Add some color to your life!
