CORPORATE TO EDGY

- BY USIADE ISIOMA

Transition­ing your style from corporate to edgy is about owning pieces that are interchang­eable and versatile. One piece can remain the same while you swap the shirt for a jacket with maybe an accessory or two. This way you can pack light and take clothing items that will completely transform your style from the corporate guy to the edgy guy. Another swap you can make is with your cologne. Your daytime scent has probably faded after eight hours of working. Throw on a night time cologne that’s great for close encounters. Nothing that announces your presence, but is subtly discovered.

DAY LOOK

The fit and pattern of the suit is key here. The pants keep things business casual and if you end up losing the shirt to replace with a polo shirt, make sure the sleeves end mid-bicep. This is a great look for a business casual work environmen­t.

NIGHT LOOK

This look is also good for an evening out. Throw on a jacket and wear a hat for a fun night out especially when you end up having to stay late with no time to go home to change. So you kill two birds with one stone while seamlessly defining your style.
