What are some work outfits/brands that you guys wear to the office? Looking for some recs as I plan on going into the office more (I go in once in 2 weeks now).

Back in the US, it was pretty standard lululemon abc pants with a CT dress shirt and a quarter zip. Is that similar here or is that looked at weirdly?

Just do the same, it’s a bit boring but safe. Try other things if you want and your office allows it, the younger lot dress a lot better these days. I like Zara, Massimo Dutti and Reiss

Good shoes are key here. They make or break the attire everything else you can cheap on but shoes. You don’t need to spend $350 you can get decent Allen Edmonds if in US for $200 online outlet or Loake, Herrine, Barker, Cheaney in the UK. Goodyear welded shoes can be resoled and will last ages. I bought my first pair as consultant in 2010 they are still looking great and have been resoled twice.

In a similar vein, anyone has recommendations for good work backpacks that have good space, good compartments, and decently priced?

Stumble and Co, good budget option

Just go to Charles Tyrwhitt and get chinos and a shirt. Black or dark brown lace ups. Light and medium brown shoes are gross.

Dark Brown leather loafers are perfectly fine with formal grey and navy suits. Black will be slighlty more formal. If the workplace / client site is very formal just go with a pair of classic black oxfords

Suit Supply, lardini, Hackett, CT- find good pieces on sale and mix and match looks ways better.
Get good shoes 350$+, hurts in the moment but lasts 5+ years

Just go to Charles Tyrwhitt, buy x2 navy chinos, x1 sand chino, x7 white / blue / stripped blue shirts + x1 navy suit. Office wear atm is smart casual with a suit really needed for interviews, exec meeting and day to day banking clients

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
