What should a man wear to the office, an interview or a business event? Below are 29 complete work outfits from the Happy Gentleman lookbook: navy, charcoal and gray suits, check and pinstripe suits, and tweed suits for fall and winter. Each look lists the suit, shirt, tie and shoes, and every item can be bought separately.

How to dress for work

Colors: navy, charcoal and gray are the most versatile office colors. Brown, check and pinstripe suits add personality once you have the basics.
2-piece or 3-piece: a 2-piece suit is enough for everyday work; a 3-piece suit looks sharper for meetings, presentations and interviews.
Shoes: black Oxfords are the most formal; brown brogues or derbies work with navy, gray and tweed.
Interviews: a plain navy or charcoal suit, a white shirt and a simple tie.
