Common Projects Achilles Low

“I’m a few years older than you but work in Architecture and the vibe in my office is very fashionable. I avoid the obvious fashion trends that the 20/30’s are wearing as I’ll look absurd but my day to day is something along the lines of Chunky knits - Castart (Belgian I think), Folk and YMC (UK). I like cardigans and big knit sweaters and those 3 brands cover me. Usually a slightly baggier trouser, chino or cords (Uniqlo xs or s are great for these) rolled up and a pair of Air Max 1, 90’s, Converse or Vans. That look seems to work well for me and I get a lot of complements. It’s not flashy or show off but obviously has some nice pieces in it. If I need to go smarter I slim the trousers down a bit and put a pair of Common Projects sneakers, loafers and a trenchcoat maybe. It’s hard though to strike the right balance. I look at some of the other senior guys in my company and wonder how on earth they left the house looking like that. They probably think that about me though as my MD did ask why I was wearing my nan’s sweater one day.”
