As 2025 unfolds with its fair share of chaos, one relatively minor but persistent dilemma has emerged: how to dress for the modern office. Amid shifting return-to-office mandates, whether workers are commuting once a week or five times, the question of what constitutes appropriate, stylish, and wearable office attire has never been more confusing—or more pressing. Fortunately, some answers are coming from an unexpected place: Stockholm, the capital of Sweden and a rising powerhouse in contemporary menswear.
Three Scandinavian brands—NN.07, Another Aspect, and Sunflower—have rapidly become go-to labels for professionals aiming to navigate office style without sacrificing comfort or individuality. Each brings a distinct flavor to menswear, collectively offering practical and fashionable solutions for a hybrid work wardrobe.
NN.07, once recognized primarily as the label behind Jeremy Allen White’s signature jacket on The Bear, delivers pieces that are as suitable for weekend lounging as they are for weekday meetings. Its Colby 5910 button-down shirt, made from soft Oxford cloth with a versatile cut, is a standout. Paired with the brand’s Aden 1923 chinos—loose-fitting but polished cotton-twill pants—NN.07 proves that officewear doesn’t have to feel rigid or outdated.
Sunflower, a darling among menswear insiders, offers garments that blend vintage appeal with contemporary ease. Its tropical wool trousers manage to capture the charm of retro tailoring while maintaining a fresh and breathable structure. For a more casual look, Sunflower’s brown Twist Jeans provide the perfect base for leather slip-ons and lightweight knits. While the brand’s loose jeans and semi-sheer shirts echo the aesthetics of Scandinavian peers like Acne or Our Legacy, Sunflower softens the bold edge, striking a refined balance between trend and timelessness. Its signature Stable shirt, crafted in cotton poplin, linen, or a translucent seersucker blend, works across a range of dress codes without demanding too much attention.
Then there’s Another Aspect, the Copenhagen-based brand with a reputation for reimagining staples. Its designs subtly elevate traditional silhouettes, from perfectly tailored trousers to knits that fall just right. The brand’s Another Shirt 1.0 and Another Jeans 3.0 offer an instant wardrobe refresh. Even with minimal effort, a few well-chosen pieces from Another Aspect can inspire multiple outfit combinations—transforming the everyday uniform without pushing it into unfamiliar territory.
What unites all three brands is their effortless compatibility with existing wardrobes. Whether adding a single piece or adopting a full ensemble, these labels integrate seamlessly with standard office fare, offering a way to upgrade one’s style without clashing with dress codes or raising eyebrows. They ask nothing extraordinary from the wearer but provide style dividends in return.
As the remote work era becomes a fading memory, the return to office life doesn’t have to signal a return to dull or uncomfortable fashion. These Scandinavian brands offer a silver lining: clothing that fits the times, feels great, and just might make getting out of bed in the morning a little easier.
