Circle shirt & sport coat

The classic 1950s circle skirt is back, and for those going into the office, it remains an ideal casual-Friday go-to. Speaking of casual, with the surge of hybrid workspaces and coworking offices, gone are the days of needing to wear a tie Monday through Friday. This sportcoat can be dressed up or down, but forgoing the tie is totally acceptable.

While the classic look of a black pant suit will never go out of style, it can always use some refreshing. The straight-leg pants give the fit a tailored feel, while the sheen of the black button-down adds extra texture to the ensemble.

Business fashion has never looked better.
