Inject your style into a stuffy dress code

When working with a strict dress code, the

simplest way to inject your personality is with a unique haircut or hairstyle. 

Opt

for

a

look

that’s

modern

yet

professional, like a short cut that’s a little

longer on top for a relaxed pompadour. 

For those who like to make a statement, try a close shave on the sides, with extra length on top.



Slicked-back styles are always popular.

Ask your stylist for a square cut that’s a little longer on the top and sides so hair

can be combed back and styled.

Just because you’re required to wear button-down shirts at work doesn’t mean you have

to suffer in boring hues and drab stripes. Shop around for colorful shirts in interesting patterns,

like

monochrome

polka dots or a madras fabric.

When opting for a bold look, always remember to keep the rest of your outfit relatively

simple to balance things out.

William Henry offers a variety of unique accessories to add flair to a rigid dress code. 

Cuff Links: Let your personality shine through with cool cuff links, like a pair studded with gemstones or finished with antique gold plating.



Pocket Knives: A wearable pocket knife pendant will look excellent paired with your new colorful button-down.



Money Clips: This utilitarian accessory gets an update from William Henry, such as the Geneva ‘RMP’ clip with inlaid mother of pearl.

If your workplace dress code dictates a simple suit jacket and pants, let your style peek out with a pair of interesting socks. You can keep things traditional with stripes or checkers, or get wild with animal prints or patterns featuring plants or flowers. Believe it or not, dress socks come in every pattern and color under the sun, so you’re sure to find a pair that’s quirky. We’ve even seen socks adorned with different types of food!

Ditch boring black dress shoes and shop around for something more exciting. These days, dress shoes come in many traditional styles, but are updated using non-traditional colors; for example, cognac-colored wing tip shoes complete with maroon-striped soles. You can also customize a pair of shoes you already own by swapping out the laces for a bright colored pair.

Liven up a simple suit with a pop of color using a pocket square. There are dozens of ways

to fold a pocket square, such as: 

Straight Fold: Fold the fabric in thirds horizontally so it both fits inside and runs parallel to your suit pocket.



Three Point Fold: Fold the square diagonally, with the points just barely matching.

Fold the left side towards the right, and up to the right of the first point, then fold the right side straight across the left.



Puff Fold: Pinch the center of the square, and use your other hand to fold the fabric

in half and bring the hem to the center.

Shop a variety of collar options for

a

subtle

personality

to

way an

to

add

otherwise

simple shirt. 

Club

Collar:

features

rounded points 

Cutaway Collar: a wide, spread collar that is “cut

away”

and

therefore

shorter than usual 

Forward-Point

Collar:

also known as a straightpoint collar, features a narrow

opening,

looks best with a tie

and

Complete your look with a smart briefcase or bag. With this accessory, avoid trendy colors or patterns and instead focus on finding a quality bag that will last for years and go with any outfit. We recommend a sleek black leather bag with chrome zippers and hardware.
