If our feckless corporate overlords have anything to say about it, 2025 is going to be a banner year for office style. We’re not totally surprised: long before folks were kvetching about HR-mandated return-to-work policies, we clocked a shocking amount of fellas getting capital-D Dressed to hit the office once, twice, even three times a week—entirely of their own volition.

Is dragging your tired, aching body back to your crowded, hideously fluorescent workplace a tough pill to swallow? It sure was for us. But we’ve got just the sugar you need to help this particular medicine go down: our first-ever shoppable guide to office style, jam-packed with wardrobe stalwarts painstakingly curated by the GQ Recommends squad.

What passes as appropriate office attire is, of course, highly subjective—and the etiquette that informs it has been in flux since Wall Street swapped the brash pinstriped suits for branded fleece vests. (We’d suggest familiarizing yourself with our handy list of Dos and Dont’s to help you puzzle through the nuances.) But if any of you sickos skimmed an ominous “Re: In-Person Attendance” email from your employer and immediately rushed to your closet, this guide might be exactly what you need.

Take a quick gander and you’ll find no shortage of traditional corporate trappings—razor-sharp suits, ultra-crisp dress shirts, spit-shined leather derbies. Scroll a bit further, though, and you’ll also see a grip of non-corny menswear upgrades ready-made for your office’s newly casual vibe. Just started a gig at a next-gen consultancy with no discernible dress code? Try a fuzzy shetland sweater, rumpled Oxford shirt, and pleated corduroy pants. Five years into a job at a laid-back ad agency with a laughably amorphous remit? A flannel and jeans is totally valid—as long as it’s the right flannel and jeans. Worried about scandalizing the top brass at your white-sneaker law firm? An icy-blue button-up, wooly gray trousers, and black loafers will help you stunt on the associates in stretchy chinos.
