Back-Office Work Wear - Style Advice For London Man Working At International Finance Company
About this video
Centeno provides style guidance for a man working in back-office finance in London who wants to add personal flair to his formal workwear. He advises building a classic wardrobe foundation with versatile blazers and sports jackets before experimenting with decorative details, and recommends introducing style through interchangeable lower-cost items like ties, pocket squares, and shirts.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends holding off on contrasting stitching and decorative jacket details when building a limited wardrobe, as jackets are high-priced items that should prioritize classic design
- Centeno suggests showing individual style through more affordable, interchangeable pieces like pocket squares, ties, and shirts rather than through jacket embellishments
- Centeno advises acquiring both a classic blazer for formal occasions and sports jackets with subtle details like patch pockets, and recommends fabrics like worsted wool herringbone, hopsack, and glen check that resist wrinkling and wrinkles
