If you’ve been following our social media, you might have noticed that Luke has been dressing better in recent months. In the first of this two-part episode about how to dress like an adult, pour homme, he shares what he has learned about how to dress like a white-collar office professional in 2026 and beyond:

• Luke discusses how to curate a professional, intentional, and classic male work wardrobe, emphasizing that clothing is a form of self-expression.
• We recommend prioritizing quality over quantity, focusing on natural fabrics like wool, linen, and cotton while avoiding polyester and visible branding.
• For a versatile starter wardrobe, invest in a navy and a charcoal suit, both single-breasted with notched lapels and flap pockets, which are appropriate for interviews, weddings, and funerals.
• Proper fit is essential. We recommend knowing your specific body measurements and utilize a tailor to ensure garments fit well, particularly in the shoulders, and to hem trousers correctly.
• We suggest a neutral color palette for easier mixing and matching, including white, charcoal, gray, navy, olive, forest green, beige, burgundy, and dark brown.
• When dressing for the office, avoid sneakers and athletic wear; opt for leather shoes or boots, with brown or burgundy being more versatile than black for daily wear.
• A button-down collar shirt is recommended when wearing a jacket without a tie to keep the collar in place, while point and spread collars are better suited for outfits with ties.
• We advise against wearing suit trousers separately from the jacket to prevent uneven wear and suggests investing in ‘odd’ trousers like wool flannel or corduroy for casual but professional looks.

Our next episode will cover outerwear, accessories and how to put an outfit together. In a future episode, Kate Voss will host the feminine-coded version of this topic.

When current events are so constantly upsetting, how do we remain informed without descending into despondency? In this timely episode, Luke shares how he consumes the news while remaining hopeful:

• It’s possible to be well-informed without succumbing to stress or doomscrolling, which means you don’t have to choose between being informed or being comfortable.
• To avoid filter bubbles created by social media algorithms, use RSS readers to curate news from multiple credible sources across the political spectrum and different countries.
• Be aware that news media is often curated, focusing on negative events (“if it bleeds, it leads”) due to commercial interests. Media consolidation can further influence narratives.
• Remember the purpose of consuming news is to be an informed citizen and extract actionable information, not for passive entertainment or to induce suffering in yourself.
• Focus on your personal sphere of influence where you can make a tangible difference, rather than solely dwelling on global events for which you have no direct culpability.
• Personal well-being and happiness do not detract from global efforts; instead, by being at peace, you add to the world’s overall peace and happiness.
• Maintain moral clarity by distinguishing between others’ wrongdoings and your own actions. Then, you can sleep well at night and help the world in the future.
• Defining specific times and places for news consumption, develop interests outside of news and smartphones, and engage with your local community.

At some point, we must all take our first jobs. In this solo episode, Luke speaks about how to get the most from yours, from the perspective of a small business owner:

• To excel in your first job, view it as a resume building project, focusing on the value you create which should exceed your salary.
• Understand that jobs are created when there’s enough work and revenue to hire someone. Your compensation is based on the value you bring, not just the hours worked.
• Avoid an entitled attitude; employers take a chance on new hires. Focus on making your employer’s and colleagues’ lives easier.
• Manage up by communicating effectively with your boss, asking clarifying questions, and anticipating needs before they are explicitly stated.
• Be professional by being punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and making it easy for others to work with you. This includes adhering to dress codes, communication etiquette, and avoiding distractions.
• Adopt a ‘can-do’ attitude, be willing to go above and beyond your job description, and solve problems even if they aren’t directly assigned to you.
• Recognize hidden hierarchies based on knowledge and experience, not just official organizational charts. Respect those with soft power.
• Understand that in most workplaces, going above and beyond is expected. Simply doing the minimum can be perceived negatively.
• Remember that work is a compensated activity where you often need to subsume some individuality to be part of the collective. Meet social and self-expression needs outside of work.
• While you are an employee, you are a worthy and dignified person working with others who are also worthy and dignified. Row alongside your team, including your boss.
