If 55% of your job is just showing up, the remaining 45% is showing up in the right clothing. Which means where to buy work clothes is equally as important as where to email that spreadsheet—heck, at GQ, it could be the difference between landing a promotion and landing yourself a sit-down with HR.
Which also means honing your office style should be top priority on your to-do list—y’know, right below “sit up straight” and “FILL OUT GOALS”. To help you come correct for the winter lock-in, we put together a termination-proof list of the raddest brands to shop for the 9-to-5 slog because, well, your livelihood might depend on it. (N.B. We said might.)
Whether you’re in need of a proper suit for your first big-boy job, anti-corporate khakis to cruise through casual Fridays, an update to your fall essentials, or a full-on understanding of what the heck business casual actually means, here’s precisely where to buy work clothes for the rest of 2025 and beyond.

Alex Mill
Alex Mill’s modern prep approach to menswear is a godsend for any guys trying to up their style game. We love the brand’s chunky knits, snappy totes, and chore coats for weekends, but recent additions to its tailoring line-up have made the brand a true workday contender.
Banana Republic
Hot on the heels of J.Crew’s, Banana Republic has experienced a comeback of its own, with slick suiting cut from Italian fabrics, Hollywood-handsome leather jackets, and knits to die for. (And because they’re a big-box label, you can bank on some stellar discounts if you’re patient enough.) Wear the below set together with a crisp white shirt and turn every head in that open plan office.
Buck Mason
From curved hem tees to drool-worthy tweed jackets, Buck Mason’s Cinderella story has us at the GQ office in a chokehold. Of course, we first fell in love with the brand’s dialed-in T-shirt program, but it’s since proven that it’s got serious game when it comes to tailoring, denim, and the like. You could look sharp as a tack in a floor-to-ceiling cord-meets-tweed suit, but you could just as easily knock ‘em dead in a business casual fit.
