FAQs
Start with your workplace dress code and a combination you enjoy wearing. Try a button-down shirt with ankle pants, or a short-sleeve polo with chinos, if those styles fit your office. Choose coordinating colors so you can mix pieces throughout the week.
Try the pieces on together and check the fit while sitting, standing and reaching. Notice whether the shirt pulls across the shoulders or the waistband feels tight when seated. Compare each item's size chart and fit notes before choosing a size.
Keep the combination simple and pay attention to proportions. Pair a patterned shirt with solid pants, or choose two complementary solid colors. Check the shirt's hem length and styling before deciding whether to tuck it in.
Choose a small group of coordinating colors, then select shirts that pair with each pair of pants. Changing from a solid shirt to a stripe or print gives the combination a different look. Plan a few pairings ahead of time to simplify busy mornings.
