Denim works at the office when it is the jacket and not the trousers. A black Levi’s Trucker over a plain white tee gives the outfit structure at the shoulder, and high-waisted cream wide-leg trousers balance its short, boxy cut: the jacket stops at the waistband, so the leg reads long. The lug sole on the Clarks loafers grounds the wide hem and keeps you comfortable walking all day, which a delicate flat would not. For client meetings, cuff the sleeves once and carry a structured leather tote instead of a backpack. It is a trans-seasonal formula that moves from a morning stand-up to a team dinner.
