What is Business?

Business means a suit: jacket and trousers in the same fabric, with a shirt, tie and smooth leather shoes. The colors stay calm – navy or gray, a white or light blue shirt, dark shoes. More important than any detail is that the suit fits.

Typical

  • Suit in navy or gray
  • White or light blue shirt
  • Tie, muted and without a pattern
  • Derby, Oxford or Budapester in smooth leather

Better not

  • Sneakers and suede loafers
  • Shirt without a tie
  • Short-sleeve shirt under the jacket
  • Light socks with dark shoes

Swap one piece and the first outfit falls apart. Brown hiking boot instead of Dark brown smooth leather derby: Smooth suit trousers with a crease over a clunky lug sole do not fit.
