Accessories for your office space can be worn by you as the wearer, and they can improve the style of the room you are in. Small details often set the tone, so chose them carefully.

Umbrella

Surely we have all rushed out on an errand during lunch and been surprised by an unexpected downpour. Make sure to always have an umbrella ready as a companion on the walk. Not infrequently, one strolls out with a half-torn, broken umbrella adorned with logos from the company that services the office's coffee machines. A well-invested umbrella does a thousand times better job, and most importantly, does not break during the first use.

Your office is your face to the outside world when customers and suppliers visit the company. Many companies underestimate the importance of how their own office should harmonise with the message, which they claim to stand behind. As you know, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the office you are in becomes, together with the clothes you wear, the most visual message you give. Make sure they go hand in hand with your promises.

Briefcase

Your briefcase follows you wherever you go, and often contains important documents or your laptop, filled with vital information. Make your bag an integral part of the clothing style you wear. Sure, it might be tempting to settle for the black tote bag made from coarse nylon, emblasoned with some company's logo embroidered in a contrasting colour, but just as little as you wear a uniform to the office, it's necessary to wear advertising. A briefcase gives you much better control of your important papers and (at least gives the appearance of) order and order.

Shoe care box

Although the home is the best place for the moment of contemplation you get when caring for your shoes. Most of us probably remember the times we looked down at our shoes during the workday and realised that they are in obvious need of a facelift. A beautiful box with a complete set of shoe care equipment will benefit everyone, as well as a beautiful decorative detail in the office.

Watch

Your watch is the biggest style marker that sets the bar for your style. Of course, it also tells the time, and it is probably so much more elegant to glance down at a piece of well-crafted stainless steel, than to turn on the mobile screen, which often leads to you also having to check the latest story on Instagram. Always invest as much as you can in your watch, and then some. Most men who have invested in a quality watch at first, may be a big expense. After that, the majority thank themselves for the rest of their lives for having the foresight to see the value of the purchase.

Music affects the mood, the brain and the body. When we listen to music we like, signals are sent to the same part of the brain as when we enjoy a good piece of food. Listening to the right type of music in the moment can, for example, increase your motivation, improve your attention and your mood. Calm and fast rhythms can affect your heart rate and thus your stress level.

Maybe you prefer to listen to instrumental music at work, while others prefer to hum along to 80s tunes. A calm and pleasant Für Elise Bagatelle No. 25 by Beethoven, for example, can help you focus and concentrate, while singing along to Joanna Gimme Hope can put you in a slightly happier mood and boost your energy levels. Listening to new music from time to time, and not just the same old, has a positive effect on the brain's capacity. The brain then gets to register new synapses that challenge and activate your brain.

The editors have created three playlists for three different moods throughout the work week. Choose to listen alone with noise cancelling headphones, or spread some vibes to your colleagues in the office.

As much as you wish that summer and that, the holidays continue it is time to start thinking about the autumn - to go back to business. The office has changed in recent years and become more flexible, for many the office and home share the same building. Although it may seem comfortable to sit at home in front of the computer screen in a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, we still think it is nice to get back to the office. Partly to meet colleagues for a small dose of social stimulus, but not least to skip those pyjama pants and dress reasonably respectfully again, even if it does not necessarily mean that you have to wear a suit.

The relaxed look – overshirt and jeans

With the green-tinted overshirt from Eton, you get the perfect blend of style and casual, in a design that is reminiscent of a blazer, in a more casual version with a chest pocket and camp collar. Wear a grey t-shirt with ecru coloured jeans, which is enhanced when paired with the black loafers, which in their entirety create a seemingly simple but well-thought-out everyday look. If you wish for an even more casual approach, then wear some black leather sneakers with a white outsole.

The business look with a twist – suit and polo shirt

This dark grey suit from Morris Heritage gives a slimmer fit that creates a favourable silhouette. A finely knitted merino polo shirt under a blazer contributes to a sophisticated and tailored expression, where the polo shirt’s colour together with a more monochrome base, brings forward a more colourful twist. By buttoning all the buttons on the polo shirt, the lines in the look are emphasised. A pair of black loafers are perfect here too, but why not try a pair of shiny Chelsea boots with a slim leg for an extra autumnal feel.

Look sharp - in light blue and black

The subtle houndstooth patterned Stenströms shirt is made from a soft and comfortable cotton, which makes it easy to wear with rolled up sleeves, or with a blazer for a more formal office feel. Choose the light blue shirt instead of white to allow the playful shirt to be easily self-sufficient. The tailor-fit suit trousers allow a straighter and more styled silhouette where the loafers from Crocket and Jones keeps business centre stage.
