Business has always been about portraying the right image and nothing has changed in this regard; take a walk around Sydney CBD at lunchtime and you will see a range of fashion trends for businessmen. In this short article, we offer an insight into what the Sydney businessman is wearing this year.
Made to measure single breast business suits
The traditional way to show up at the office, the single-breast business suit is still very popular and by talking to a leading Sydney tailor, you can select the finest wool fabric for a bespoke business suit. Two visits are required, the first to choose the cloth and style with a full measurement and the second is the final fitting and a couple of days later, your made to measure business suit will be ready.
The informal look
Smart casual pants, a tailored short and smart jacket are perfect for an informal setting, with an elegant men’s crossbody bag designer by Louis Vuitton with slip-on shoes to complete the look. Smart and casual is getting more popular with tech entrepreneurs, a younger generation that likes to turn away from traditions. Indeed, if you went to Silicon Valley, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone wearing a business suit. Of course, every businessman should have at least one suit in his wardrobe, even in this liberal climate and you can find top-rated tailors in Sydney CBD.
Slim-fit business shirts
Tapered shirts are in vogue, along with an array of colourful ties and your local tailor can make fitted shirts; you choose the material and style, the number of pockets and whether the collar is button-down. Some businessmen have shirts made by the dozen, to bring some variety to their wardrobe and what better way to show the world you mean business? Click here for a few trendy men’s haircuts in 2024.
Quality accessories
Regardless of your dress style, you should always choose top-quality accessories; belts, wallets, credit card holders and a business attaché case. Top brands such as Louis Vuitton are available at reasonable prices from a leading Australian supplier and you can find them with an online search. People do notice the small things, the watch you wear, the digital device you use, your wallet, in fact, everything should be on point if you wish to project a winning image.
Wool sweaters and cardigans
The Sydney winter can be chilly, and the well-dressed man would wear a wool sweater or cardigan over a business or polo shirt. Smart casual wear is now a common sight in the business districts; you even see some business moguls in jeans and T-shirts, which is a real turnaround; thirty years ago, this would be unheard of!
Are shorts in this summer? That all depends on the company culture; best check before arriving in your beachwear and make sure you have long trousers and a shirt hanging up in the car.
