i've heard that it's good to have a jacket at the office in case you have to run off to a meeting with a client or something. but i imagine it would look weird if you were wearing a suit blazer with pants of a different color that clearly did not match. so what does everyone do in case you have to put on a suit at the last minute? do you all just keep an extra suit at the office?

I think it's weird to wear blazers WITH pants of the same colour if they're not part of a suit. It just looks off.
In general I only wear charcoal/grey pants and have a spare jacket of the same color in the office in case something comes up. I also usually stick to white/blue shirts so that they actually match the jacket. I guess if you're really worried you could actually have multiple spare jackets in the office but in general the safest bet is to stick to 1 or 2 colors and make sure the spare jacket goes with your pants. It's boring but the safe thing to do.
i feel like it might just be easier (and even cheaper) to keep a spare suit, maybe my least favorite suit, in the office. how frequently do you get caught off guard and need to throw on a suit at the last minute?
My former boss used to keep a suit, tie, and shoes in his office for client meetings. He would just close the blinds and change when needed.
Bumping this thread.
Where would an analyst keep a spare jacket at the office? Shoes?
It probably depends where you work, but I have a coat closet with a hangar rack in my cube.
Why don't you just wear a suit for work and take off the jacket? In that case the dress pants is a part of a suit.
Nice thought Dresscode. But I would suggest keep a black jacket with you, helps makes good contrasts with almost everything you might be wearing. If you get clients and meetings daily, its much better to keep a spare suite and tie with ya.
Why would that be better? And why would you wear a black jacket? It doesn't look good with anything except black.
It's much better to just wear a suit and take of the jacket. Its takes much more time to change the whole outfit.
