Some mornings the prospect of putting together a men’s business casual outfit that offers comfort, style, utility and versatility can feel like a very daunting task.

As I stare blankly into the closet, a question arises like steam from the coffee cup in my hand.

“Even if you’re dressed in business casual, myself” and “How can I upgrade my wardrobe without spending money on this month’s car payment?”

And perhaps the most important question of them all is:

“In the first place, what is ‘business casual’ in 2022!?”

The definition of the informal office dress code has changed significantly over the years. ::Phew:: Dress shirt without tucks and 5-pocket pants.

Business casual feels more fluid today.

Think about it: famous (or is it infamous?) “Tee-under-blazer” fits, for example. Or the classic Oxford shirt + knit tie + tan chinos combo.

If one thing is clear, what used to run 24 hours a day can now run 24 hours a day…and vice versa! I have a lot of clothes in my closet to wear more time.

Now figure out how to put it all together.
