MENS BUSINESS ATTIRE GUIDE

Today we explore a myriad of men’s business attire guides. From the SAO classic power suit to our MTM and Bespoke dress shirt, we help you strike a powerful impact that commands respect and seals success in every boardroom encounter.

First impressions are everything, they say. In the business world, your attire is your armor, your persona, and your power all rolled into one. Whether you are stepping into the boardroom or attending a corporate event, your outfit speaks volumes about you. 

SAO Classic Power Suit

The timeless SAO power suit is the staple of the boardroom and the pinnacle of sartorial elegance. This ensemble consists of a well-tailored single-breasted navy blue suit available in a variety of fabrics, paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a tasteful silk tie. It exudes authority, sophistication, and an unwavering sense of professionalism. This symbolizes the epitome of men’s business attire in the sartorial world.

Formal Men’s Business Attire

When the occasion calls for the utmost formality, nothing surpasses the impact of formal business attire. Black-tie events, galas, or important corporate functions demand a sleek, well-fitted tuxedo. At SAO, we offer a luxurious range of fabrics to choose from when it comes to your tuxedo. You can pair it with a crisp dress shirt, a black bow tie, and our Chisel toe tuxedo shoes in black patent leather shoes. 

The Three-Piece Suit

For those who crave sophistication with an edge of opulence, the SAO three-piece suit is a match made in tailored heaven. It consists of an MTM or Bespoke suit jacket, matching trousers, and a complementary waistcoat. This ensemble exudes a sense of refinement that never goes unnoticed. Opt for daring patterns like pinstripes or window panes to exude confidence and impeccable taste.

Business Casual 

Embrace the best of both worlds with the ever-popular business casual attire. This style infuses comfort with a touch of dashing flair, perfect for more relaxed work environments or casual Fridays. Pair our SAO tailored khaki or jeans trousers with a button-down shirt. Add our MTM or Bespoke jacket to elevate the look and effortlessly transition from the office to after-work gatherings.

Contemporary Smart Casual

As workplaces evolve, so does the definition of business attire. The contemporary smart casual look strikes the perfect chord between laid-back and polished. Pair dark-coloured jeans or tailored chinos with a well-fitted SAO Bomber jacket and our stylish band or club collar dress shirt. 

Casual Fridays do not mean you throw style out the window. Flaunt a polished casual look with our West African-inspired senator suits. You can choose a crew neck or half placket shirt, well-fitted trousers, or dark-coloured jeans or khakis, and complete the ensemble with SAO staples, our velvet slippers, or even the stylish SAO runners when appropriate. However, remember to maintain a polished, well-groomed appearance in the office.

Conclusion

When it comes to business attire, versatility is the key. Navigating the spectrum of styles can elevate your professional image and create lasting impressions. From the commanding power suit to the laid-back contemporary smart casual, each piece of attire offers a unique canvas for self-expression and confidence.
