Out of Office: The Modern Man’s Guide to Effortless Smart Casual Style
At The Culture, we designed the Out of Office Collection to embody exactly that feeling: freedom wrapped in sophistication, comfort stitched into form. These are not just shirts and polos; they are wardrobe anchors built for men who move seamlessly between work, leisure, and the in-between. Crafted with breathable fabrics, timeless silhouettes, and a neutral palette, this collection is a masterclass in quiet luxury for the modern Indian wardrobe.
Why the Out of Office Collection Matters
The way men dress is changing. Gone are the days of stiff collars and heavy fabrics that only belonged in boardrooms. Today’s man needs a wardrobe that adapts—something as comfortable in an afternoon café as it is in a Monday meeting.
The Out of Office Collection is built around three core values:
-
Versatility First – Each piece transitions effortlessly from desk to dinner, travel to downtime.
-
Premium Comfort – Crafted in breathable cotton, perfect for Indian summers and humid evenings.
-
Subtle Sophistication – Refined colors, clean lines, no noise. Because style doesn’t need to shout.
This collection is not about chasing trends—it’s about investing in timeless essentials that keep up with your life.
The Collection at a Glance
Espresso Break Shirt
Deep, rich, and warm—just like your morning brew. The Espresso Break Shirt is a staple for men who value balance: polished enough for a client lunch, relaxed enough for a weekend getaway. The earthy tone pairs effortlessly with beige chinos or dark denim, making it one of the most adaptable pieces in the collection. Think of it as your everyday reset—sophistication without effort.
Off-Duty Navy Shirt
Navy has long been a cornerstone of men’s wardrobes, but the Off-Duty Navy Shirt reimagines it with minimalist detailing and a relaxed silhouette. Perfect for intentional slow days, it lets you step out with quiet confidence. Pair it with trousers for a sharp look or roll up the sleeves with shorts for a casual weekend. The beauty lies in its adaptability: you’ll never run out of ways to wear navy.
Midnight Mocha Shirt
For evenings when you want a touch of mystery without losing structure, the Midnight Mocha Shirt delivers. A darker neutral with a modern edge, it works as well under a blazer as it does solo with jeans. The tone is versatile enough to carry you through formal dinners, rooftop gatherings, and casual nights alike. If you’ve been searching for that piece that whispers confidence rather than demands it—this is it.
Midweek Marina Polo Shirt
Not every weekday is created equal. Some days call for calm, composure, and clothing that supports your rhythm. The Midweek Marina Polo Shirt is designed exactly for that: a marine blue base with subtle contrast collar detailing. Smart enough for video calls, relaxed enough for after-hours, and comfortable enough to wear all day. This polo is proof that workwear doesn’t need to feel like work.
Minted Calm Shirt
Freshness stitched into fabric—that’s what the Minted Calm Shirt brings to your wardrobe. In a muted mint shade, it embodies the reset button every man needs midweek. Lightweight and breathable, this shirt is perfect for Indian summers. It works equally well as a standalone piece or as a layering essential under a neutral jacket. The kind of shirt that not only lifts your outfit but also your mood.
Slate Mist Shirt
A masterclass in understated elegance, the Slate Mist Shirt is crafted in a cool grey tone that belongs in every man’s rotation. It’s a canvas for styling—wear it buttoned up for structure, leave it open over a tee for casual layering, or tuck it in for a smart casual statement. Grey is timeless, and Slate Mist is proof that minimalism, when done right, makes the loudest statement.
