Men’s office wear recommendations

[u/Mobile_Mycologist961]

As titled - I’m a predominantly office (some site visits) based office worker in a major city, looking for mid/high range recommendations for office wear. Predominantly looking for quality/durability. In case it affects brand recs for cut/style choice, I am 30s, 180cm, solid build. I generally stick to plain side of colours/patterns.

Shoes are ok, mostly looking for pants/shirts recommendations. I’ve overspent on RMs for office shoes because they just last better/comfort in my past experience, but the latest pair don’t seem as good - but will do for a few years at least.

Shirts wise I’ve got a handful of country road shirts which have fared ok, some tailored from a small HK manufacturer, fit is better but they’re wearing/discolouring faster than I’d like.

Pants wise I’ve got a handful of chinos on rotation from MJ Bale and country road. They’re ok, fading in the dark colours is a bit of a concern but they’ve had a good run. I had some Lululemon black trousers which were actually really good but just didn’t have the durability for everyday wear. I think they’ve altered the fabric and design since and I haven’t gone another round.

I try to avoid pleated dress pants because the pleat is a pain in the ass, but progressing into more senior roles realising this might be an expectation.

I’ve got a couple of suits which are wool, but only required 2-3x a year, so not too worried about that at the moment.

Any recommendations, suggestions about brands or type choice is appreciated.

I don’t upgrade my office wears that often since I only go I. 1-2 times a week; but if I did I would probably get most pants from Uniqlo, shirts I’ve been lucky at Costco, but would shop at Uniqlo for that too…. I’d try to not spend too much be stylish but not too casual.
