Men's Work Wardrobe Under $500

Cohesive pieces to effortlessly step out the door in style

The secret to a functional no-fuss men's wardrobe is less items, and more combinations. Take the hard work out of getting dressed for work every day with a modern uniform capsule. Each piece works cohesively for various styling options to take you from professional presentations to office casual to long Friday lunches. The capsule wardrobes we've curated also give you trans-seasonal layers so you can have it all for under $500. 

Our uniforms are tried and tested by over 45,000 crews worldwide, so you know they are built to last. Our unique wholesale direct pricing allows you to build a fuss-free work wardrobe for under $500 and easily reorder whenever you need. Let's go!

The Three Piece Suit Work Week

The ultimate must-have for any capsule work wardrobe are a vest and shirt variation for your everyday suit. Maximise a completely tailored look by incorporating a suit vest and tie for days in the boardroom or remove the jacket for stylish polish. Reach for an oatmeal shirt and leave it untucked or open with a tank and silver chain necklace to go from day to night or keep things classic with a blue chambray shirt buttoned up with a belt for your everyday look.

Mix it up with the Fred Shirt in Chambray Blue - roll up the sleeves and add a tie to keep it smart-casual.

All in the Details

Cotton's inherent strength makes it ideal for shirts that need to withstand regular washing like uniform shirts. Being a hypoallergenic material, 100% cotton shirts are less likely to irritate the skin, making them ideal for daily wear. Our bi-stretch 3-piece suiting allows for movement at work and is designed to be styled seamlessly with our whole range of shirts, so say goodbye to the morning stress of deciding what to wear each day.

When working on the move and out on the road, you can't look past the wardrobe must-have, the polo tee. No smelly promotional polos here, elevate with a tailored trouser for a sharp look or tuck into a chino for smart professionalism that takes you from client meetings to the golf course. Now that's working smarter, not harder.

For a truly trans-seasonal capsule, add a puffer vest or softshell jacket to each look and rotate your shoe choice for a pop of personalisation.
