* Choose pieces that while appropriate for the office environment, still allow you to express your individualism.
* Mix up suit separates to keep things interesting and versatile.
* Even if your work requires a fairly conservative look, don’t be afraid to play it up with layers and colors.
* Wearing a suit does not mean you have to look boring – mix it up with different hues or a sophisticated vest.
We’re pretty sure being dressed to kill increases workplace productivity. Just don’t take any fashion hints from Meredith of Dunder Mifflin…
