ADRIAN BOWEN, ADVERTISING SALES EXECUTIVE

What do you like to wear for work? Khaki or black slacks and button-down cotton shirt. I vary between long or short sleeves based on what my activities are for any given day. I always wear the same colour leather belt and shoes and I like a tie that is distinctive but not loud.

Fashion staple (One piece you wear the most)? It varies from day to day.

Work accessories? A pen, calculator and a laptop!

Favourite splurge? A nice pair of leather shoes.

What are you wearing now? A striped Calvin Klein fitted shirt, Calvin Klein khakis, a handmade tie, and matching leather belt and shoes.

What was the idea behind the outfit? It is a more relaxed business look. In advertising you meet with clients from varying business segments and this outfit allows for that flexibility.

How long have you had these pieces? I got the shoes recently but the rest I have had over a year.

What do you have on that is your favourite? I like the Calvin Klein shirt because of the fit.
