Being in our MBA program, I have had the opportunity to dress business casual and professional countless times for various presentations, job interviews and even case competitions. However, when I go looking for business clothes, I know the main stores and boutiques that have great business clothes for women, but not men.
Luckily, throughout the last 3 semesters, I have noticed that my academic advisor, Rodrigo Tello, MBA manager, has always come best dressed to various Spears events. It is even known throughout my cohort that he has the best style and fits, therefore it was an easy choice on who I should reach out to when it comes to recommendations on the best stores for business clothes for men.
Here are his suggestions with direct links for you to come best dressed as well!
Locally, Everyman in downtown Stillwater. They have:
- Suit fittings
- Casual business wear
- Accessories
- Barber and coffee shop, all in one location!
Online and not local stores: ZARA / Massimo Dutti / El Ganso / J. Crew / Banana Republic
They have:
- Suits
- Polo shirts
- Blazers
- Coats/trench Coats
- Jackets
- Dress shirts
- Dress pants
- Dress shoes
These stores also offer a women’s section as well!
If you like custom tailored suits or want to have a new go-to blazer, one of Spears’ partners, Tom James allows you to customize dresses, shirts, suits, pants, blazers, etc.
Jared Conway, j.conway@tomjames.com, from Tom James has styled Dean Eastman, Assistant Dean Marc Tower and a fellow MBA student, Bennett Sherrer. He is extremely personable, helpful and informative. Visit their website or feel free to reach out to Jared directly to set up a consultation and see all they have to offer!
I hope these recommendations help you feel confident when walking into that next interview, presentation or business competition.
