Preppy Business Casual: A Blend of Fred Perry and Chicago Cubs Flair

Oct 16, 2024 | Blog, Joakim, Look of the day

This look blends Fred Perry’s sporty edge with classic preppy style, topped off with a Chicago Cubs cap that adds a touch of laid-back American sports culture.

The red jacket, checkered shirt, and striped tie create a sharp yet casual vibe, while the khaki pants and cap strike the perfect balance.

It’s an ideal smart-casual business style, merging professionalism with preppy values of semi-formal elegance and a hint of personal flair.

The sun is shining brightly for another day, and today’s dress code needs to match the vibrant weather. I’m looking forward to a lunch presentation about the outlook of Asia in transformation.

While the suggested formal dress code is navy blue or light grey for everyone, I’ve decided to embrace my bold side. As a business designer in communication, strategic management, and corporate governance, I like to stand out. So, today, I chose a striking white outfit with blue stripes. It captures the essence of summer, balancing business style with a touch of eccentricity, and adds a unique personal flair.

Revamping Business Attire: A Fresh Take on Summer Colors Bolsters Confidence and Transforms Brand Perception

Jun 22, 2023 | Board meeting, Joakim

I’m fastening my cufflinks and fine-tuning my style in preparation for the committee meeting. Today’s setting isn’t strictly business, which allows me the opportunity to shake things up a bit. I’m introducing a splash of colour with a summer-friendly blend of pink and white. This approach allows me to express my personality while maintaining professionalism, thanks to my unique take on the summer tie.

I aim to evolve the conventional dress code slightly by incorporating fresh colours, all the while ensuring that everything remains well-balanced for the summer. Moreover, I’m making a statement that pink isn’t exclusive to one gender – we should confidently embrace it too. The objective is to step outside the box, yet maintain a business-like demeanour as an official representative. My goal is to instill confidence and value, thereby bolstering our brand for future collaborations.
