Dress Code

The guide to dressing in the new hybrid world.

The pandemic redefined what it means to dress for the office. But what is an "office" these days? With most people working a hybrid of at home and in person, it can be challenging to find a wardrobe that works across occasions and environments.

As new office styling continues to evolve, it's important to invest in versatile pieces that can grow with you.

Discover the virtue of versatility.

There isn’t enough wardrobe space for separate work, play and home clothing. Especially not in a New York apartment. The key is versatile pieces that work across occasions, and are durable enough to be worn multiple times a week. For example, the Vanta Pant features a concealable drawcord making it perfect for alternating between office and a dinner out, or lounging at home. The matching Orion jacket is a lightweight streamlined layer, and a great alternative to a blazer for a smart casual look. The Forma 2 Jacket and Vanta Pant can be worn as a coordinated suit, or be mixed and matched with other styles. Its 7 days of dressing with 5 - 6 pieces.

Invest in classic silhouettes. They're trend agnostic.

Although some office dress codes are relaxing, that trend isn’t being followed across the board. To make sure your wardrobe can work across any occasion we suggest investing in classic silhouettes. Tailored, textured blazers, and tapered (not skinny) trousers will stand the test of time. The Forma 2 Jacket is a modern adaption of the classic blazer — it’s soft structured for sweater-like ease, with light canvassing to maintain shape. The Vanta Pant is perfect for the office with its built-in pintucks and smart, modern fit. Both classic silhouettes are dress code agnostic, re-imagined for comfort through the functional design. A more formal office may require a collared shirt and dress shoes. For a more casual environment you might layer a crew neck under the blazer and throw on a crisp pair of sneakers in lieu of oxfords.

Experience the latest in fabric innovation.

To make your wardrobe last, it's important to invest in high quality pieces, which starts with high quality fabric. A lot has changed in the world of fabrics. The attributes synonymous with athleisure such as stretch and washability are now being engineered into classic fabrics, to create something wholly new. At Seneca, we scoured Italy and Japan for mills pushing the boundaries in combining natural fibers with synthetic fibers, blending the best features of both worlds. They’re what we call high performance, and low maintenance. Our pieces are 100% machine washable, and can generally be worn 15 - 20 times between washes. They’re also comfortable and breathable on your skin, with stretch for ease in motion. Plus they’re wrinkle resistant and travel-ready for all of your upcoming business trips and vacations.
