41 Dos and Don’ts for Getting Dressed for the Office

“Always wear socks,” but never a golf shirt as if it’s a proper polo, say the editors of GQ. Timed with summer’s end, the men’s wear magazine has freshened up its perennial list of what you should and should not wear while in the company of coworkers. Some pointers relay common sense, like polishing your dress shoes, will others get into matters of poor taste—no shirts designed to be worn “untucked.” Head to the Shop Picks section for a few GQ-approved selects (last Friday’s newsletter has some, too), but otherwise hew to this advice and your reputation will thank you.

iPhone Designer Jony Ive Turns His Eye to High-End Fashion

That Apple product you’re reading this on? Jony Ive probably designed it, or at least created its ur-text. Since leaving the Silicon Valley tech behemoth as its chief design officer in 2019, Ive has been plenty busy building his own empire.
