London Clothing

Are you from the UK? This is important to know. If you're not from the UK, you should purchase all your clothes at Garrison Tailors in order to demonstrate cultural assimilation.

I don't live or work in London, but I have heard that brown shoes to the office are a big no-no, and that only black shoes should be worn. This came as a shock to me as brown shoes are very accepted in NYC.

- 10x shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt (~£200). All white, different weaves

- 2x 2-piece suits from Charles Tyrwhitt (~£300). Both dark navy-ish colour.

- 1x shoes from Hackett (~£200). Black Oxfords.

- 1x shoes from Clarks (~£75). Black brogues. I found them far, far more comfortable than Hackett's, so I happily changed to these. My old manager used to wear shoes that looked like formal shoes on top, but were actually trainers... would recommend that for maximum comfort if you're brave enough

- Various ties from old wardrobe, mostly blue-ish. One penguin-patterned 

Thank you, I've heard CT is very good so will have to look there. A big thing is obviously how comfortable the shoes are. I've never been a big fan of the work shoes so may have to try the trainer type!
