Turn in Your Office Blues for Purple This Fall

By

You feel like spicing things up with your outfit this week, so you reach for your tried-and-true checkered blue dress shirt. It’s safe and stylish, and you really can’t go wrong. But wait, you also have that new collared shirt you picked up in a color called Lavender Haze after you saw a coworker wearing a shade of eggplant, and you couldn’t get it out of your head. Is purple the new blue for office-ready menswear?

There’s a time and place for almost every color in your professional clothing. Here’s how you can try new shades of purple during the fall season without giving your blues the boot.

 Many Shades of Purple

Purple isn’t just one color. You can find all kinds of high-quality, wrinkle free dress shirts for men in shades of purple like lavender and eggplant. Plus, you can incorporate patterns such as gingham, plaid, and stripes. These options can help diversify your closet with seasonal colors that add plenty of style. You can still wear blue during the week, but spice things up with some purple every now and then.

Styling Purple Clothes

Purple goes well with a variety of other colors, including navy, black, charcoal, and brown. Of course, depending on the shade of purple and the shirt’s pattern, some styling choices will suit your look better than others. You can wear lavender with just about anything, including a classic suit, so get creative and think outside the box. If you’re just starting to experiment with new colors, wear an eggplant gingham shirt with gray pants and a navy blue color blazer.

 A Timeless Design

When you’re shopping for a shirt, some of the most important details are the design and the quality. A high-quality, performance-focused dress shirt can actually help you feel more confident in the color you choose, too. When a shirt feels as good as it looks, you’ll love wearing it, even if you’re trying new patterns or colors. Search for a shirt that’s breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and made with built-in four-way stretch. Bonus points if you prioritize versatility with options you can wear tucked or untucked for a modern take on a timeless design.

Purple isn’t completely replacing blue in the menswear department. But it is another addition to your closet that can help you look stylish and feel great throughout the fall and winter.

Is there a bigger boost of confidence than a compliment at work? It could be recognition for the hard work you’ve put in on a client’s account or noticing that you dressed your best for a presentation that afternoon. But if you overheard someone say, “His shirt is looking pretty wrinkled,” it could easily have the opposite effect. Maybe no one would actually say that to you. Perhaps you’re thinking about it too much. But if it’s on your mind, wouldn’t others notice too? Make wrinkles and comments like these a thing of the past with a high-quality mens collared shirt . Search for a design made with wrinkle-resistant fabric that doesn’t need a steamer, iron, or dryer on the permanent press setting (you should hang dry your work shirts, anyway). Here are a few examples you no longer have to think or hear about your work wardrobe. “That Looks Uncomfortable” If someone made this observation and you were wearing a high-quality collared shirt, you’d know it’s not true.

It’s a typical workday. You leave the office 10 minutes before 5:00, briefcase in hand, blazer hanging over your arm, and the top button of your collared shirt undone. You do your best to leave your worries at your desk. If you didn’t get to a task today, it will always be there tomorrow. For now, it’s time to unwind. So, where are you headed? The Coffee Shop When you need a quick pick-me-up after work, you head to the coffee shop, especially if you pass it on your route home. From a single shot of espresso to a relaxing cup of tea, the coffee shop has plenty of options that can help you feel ready for the rest of your day. Because the day doesn’t end after work. If it’s your night to make dinner for the family or you’re coaching the kids’ soccer team and have to lead practice, you might need a bit of a pick-me-up. So hang your blazer over the back of a bistro chair and take a couple minutes for yourself at the coffee shop. Navy Blue Blazer The Grocery Store Oh, no. Y...
