Clash of the vibrant prints

by busichic on January 27, 2012 · 2 comments

It’s Friday and what better day then to share these images of a Creative sporting strong prints, a classic blazer and a pocket square?

Creative Filip with some inspiration for Smart Casuals


A fabulous clashing of strong prints is the key to Filip's vibrant look that is anchored by a classic blazer.


Filip's Creative workplace means that he can beautiful shoes that are full of character (and scuffs!) - if you're in an office, please make sure that yours are polished!

Smart Casual folks may wish to not roll up their jeans if in a more conservative workplace than Filip’s. Otherwise, I hope Filip’s style will inspire other blokes to get brave and clash some prints in a similarly fab way.

Do you clash your prints? What combinations do you think you’ll try?

Happy Australia Day, BusiChics! It’s a complicated day of national celebration where the focus has moved from celebrating the day the First Fleet arrived in Botanty Bay (and the British disregarded the rights of our Indigenous people), to focusing on the positive and celebrating what’s great about our country. I highly recommend reading Dr Charlie Teo’s Australia Day [...]

Hey BusiChic, How are you doing today? At the time I’m writing this, it’s been a pretty hot day here in Melbourne. I photographed today’s BusiChic who I thought was doing a great job making her way to work in a conservative  environment by walking in sensible flats. While my podiatrist would recommend shoes with a bit [...]

Shirts. So I ‘fessed up recently that I’m personally not the biggest wearer of shirts however I still love the look and it is a work wardrobe staple. Last year we had giveaways from some fab purveyors of shirts like Pugnacious George for gents and Geisker for the ladies and this year I look forward [...]

When I first started BusinessChic, I envisaged lots of things. One of the things was to tie in my interest in food with the website by having a “chalkboard” of sorts up on the blog where I’d advertise tasty breakfast and lunchtime specials being offered by cafes and restaurants in your city. I still haven’t [...]

It’s week 3 of the BusiChic Black Dress Project and I accessorise my Bento Ruby Little Black Dress (LBD) with a colourful and multi-functional lightweight scarf and handbag. It’s the height of Summer here in Australia so I need to accessorise my LBD cleverly. This means finding the right amount of layering; not too much that [...]

How I go from office to drinks

Thumbnail image for How I go from office to drinks

From a business fashion perspective, I find afterwork drinks pretty interesting – seeing how the blokes spiffy up their suits (or lose the tie/blazer for venues with “no-suit” rules) and ladies make tweaks to what they’ve worn all day. In the summertime when the weather is fine I also enjoy heading straight from office to [...]

Today’s BusiChic had me stumped for categorisation. Is it Creative or relaxed Contemporary Business Wear or the dressier side of Smart Casual? I think it’s a triangle of workplace dress codes that warps into appropriateness across all categories due to the omnipresent heat! What I know is the lady was leaving her office in this [...]

What is a busy bloke to wear in the sweltering heat of summer? If you are a Corporate in a conservative environment, might I suggest that you wear a lighter weight fabric suit and get to work early and leave later to avoid the heat of a glaring sun. If you work in a Contemporary [...]
