Here’s the thing, formalwear doesn’t have to feel like a boardroom bore or a wedding weekend repeat. In fact, when done right, it’s downright magnetic. We’re talking effortless tailoring, shirts that don’t just button up but level up, and trousers so sleek they might just come with a warning label. Westside’s latest formal capsule for men is less “office uniform” and more “who is that?” Think structure with swagger, polish with personality, and pieces that transition from client calls to cocktail hour like it’s no big deal. Because honestly? Looking this good should be easy.
Let’s start where all good looks begin; the formal shirt. Neat and stylish luxe textures with an aura that commands attention. These are the shirts that do the talking without trying too hard. Whether it's that sharp white button-down for power moments or a dusty rose or olive tone for a softer swagger, a great shirt is the anchor of your capsule. And rolled-up sleeves? Instant charm.
Forget the baggy blahs. It’s all about precision! Think tapered legs, clean finishes, and fabrics that move with you effortlessly! Because sitting stylishly is still a skill. Pair your trousers with everything from structured shirts to relaxed polos, and suddenly, Monday to Friday is less “ugh” and more ooh.
Wear them with the unsung hero of every formal-ish wardrobe: the elevated polo. With luxe knits, buttoned collars, and tailored fits, these aren’t your weekend tees. These are dinner-date-ready, event-appropriate, and every bit capsule-worthy. Plus, they play nice with everything from chinos to dress trousers.
Now, we know what you're thinking; a blazer? Groundbreaking! But hear us out. The modern blazer isn’t stiff or shouty. It’s relaxed yet refined. It layers like a dream. And in fresh shades like slate blue or soft sand, it takes you from strategy meetings to sundowners like you’ve got a stylist on speed dial.
Yes, even in a formal capsule, accessories matter. Think sleek leather belts, sophisticated watches, and minimal jewellery that gives refined rebel. And a pair of sharp shoes? Mandatory. Loafers, oxfords, dress sneakers! Just keep it clean, classic, and confident.
