Challenging John Brack’s 1955 depiction of dreary city workers…

Welcome to BusinessChic, a Melbourne-based site established on 1 March 2010, featuring photos of professionals and their workwear style as captured on the streets and laneways of this fair city. Some of those in this line-up adhere to strict company dresscodes; albeit with flair. Others push the corporate workwear envelope, adding colour and sartorial intrigue to our streets and not to mention, workplaces.
Whether you are a new graduate, returning-to-work or a seasoned professional, the aim of this site is to provide you with local content to inform, inspire and most of all, enjoy!
