OK Team, another "business casual" related question. I'm moving into a new role within my company, which will require a different wardrobe approach. I've lived in a world where jeans and t shirt are perfectly acceptable in the office, and jeans and a company polo are acceptable at meetings. In short, I would like to upgrade both to more professional. But, a tie or full suit in 99% of the situations is too formal.
You'll in the pictures I'm a bigger dude. Yes, I'm working on that and happy with my progress. I'd like to stick to well fitted, darker clothing that can be dressed "down" for the office, or dressed "up" for meetings. My initial thought is wool pants or chinos paired with golf style company polo, or long sleeved button down shirt for the office. For meetings, skip the polo and dress up the shirt with a nicely fitted sportcoat. Also, a sportscoat should be more flattering, no?
What are your thoughts and suggestions? I'm aiming for timeless, classic, interchangeable that doesn't require a ton of thought. Are dark chinos and a blazer a good combination? Below are a couple of photos with navy chinos paired with a blazer, chinos with my golf 1/4 zip pullover and my un-tailored dress pants with my company polo. The first thing that needs to happen is to alter my dress pants.
