When interning in a professional environment, it can be tough to incorporate your personal style with the standard button ups and blazers. However, it’s important to stand out and let your superiors know that you’re an individual. Let’s face it, if you can’t dress yourself by now, you’ll never make it at that law firm.
For Fashionistos in particular, it can feel like business wear is limited. Don’t fall into the black hole that is the basic suit and tie wardrobe. Of course the classic black suit can be a simple and chic ensemble, but you’ll have to work hard to make it say, “Look! I’m me!”
This Fashionisto’s outfit speaks to his style and his personality. His navy blue suit is perfect for summer’s nautical themes. The white button-up is clean and crisp, helping his trendy striped bowtie to pop! His attention to detail brings the look full circle with a matching handkerchief.
Many would be afraid to mix neutrals like navy and black, but this Fashionisto knows that pairing the two can create more interest and draw attention to those pieces. This trick is exactly why his black Fossil watch caught my eye immediately. Its timeless black dial and leather strap can pair with any outfit. Fashionistas can even be inspired to incorporate beautiful menswear jewelry like this into their internship looks.
One Simple Change: When this Fashionisto clocks out, he can easily leave his suit coat and tie behind, unbutton one or two buttons, and catch dinner and a movie with his significant other.
