My work uniform is simple: I pair palazzo pants with plain, coloured shirts. Photo by @parkerburchfield

I've spent most of my working life in a place where people sometimes schlepp into office with a T-shirt they got free from some event, 20-year-old jeans and bulky crocs. (Well, what can I say? Journalists are practical folks.)

After 15+ years working in the print media, I transitioned to a more corporate role. So, that meant a complete overhaul of my wardrobe.

As silly as it sounds, I didn't...
