Even the most archaic of workplaces have designated at least one day out of the week for casual wear—yet some guys still can’t get it right. For those sporting ill-fitting, pleat-front khakis and logo emblazoned golf shirts, here are some helpful hints to get you through the summer workweek—or at least for days when the boss is out. Slim fit, trouser-style jeans in a dark wash will not only give you the appearance of dropping 20 pounds, you’ll look more put-together, too. For more formal corporate cultures, adding a jacket in a lightweight summer fabric—yes, they’re supposed to look lightly crumpled—keeps it professional without being stuffy.
