Working a 9-5 every day is exhausting, so why should there be a struggle to stay comfortable? Although a full suit may look professional, it is not always practical or comfortable. There’s no need to go the extra mile when a shirt is sophisticated enough on its own.
The conversation around a suit grew with the Covid-19 Pandemic. People worked at home for so long that they wondered, “Is it still appropriate to wear a full suit to work?” While many are still working remotely or working hybrid, there is a greater desire for comfort in professional wear.
You can achieve a professional look without compromising comfort with a lightweight performance dress shirt. W.R.K’s 4-way stretch performance dress shirt is designed on 4-way stretch fabric that stretches and moves with you. It also contains moisture-wicking properties which keeps you dry and cool all day long. From solids to intricate prints, you can transform an outfit from casual to business casual with a sleek performance dress shirt. The additional effort of a suit is unnecessary to achieve a business look.
Another top option is a shirt that looks like a dress shirt, but isn’t actually one. Meet W.R.K’s Reworked shirt, a mixed media shirt with a woven front and perfectly matched knit/jersey sleeves and back for extra stretch. Customers say this shirt feels like their favorite t-shirt on.
To complete your look, you can opt for a soft knit pants that are equally stylish as comfortable. W.R.K’s Olana Plaid Pants and Khat Texture Pants are soft knit fabric pants in a sophisticated tapered fit but provide the comfort and mobility of sweat pants.
Lastly, if you want to give an added touch of dapperness without wearing a full-blown suit, a nice tie is always a great final piece. A solid color or patterned tie can effortlessly dress up your oufit.
Yes, there may be special occasions where you feel inclined to wear a suit, like an important meeting or going to court. However, these are not everyday occasions. A nice pair of knit pants and a performance dress shirt (and maybe, a tie) are the perfect combination to be ready for work. That effortless work style and comfort will carry you through those long work days.
