One thing I love to see is more and more offices going casual in terms of their dress codes. At least that's the way it's going in Toronto. When it comes to journalism, advertising or marketing, the standard seems to be nice jeans and a t-shirt or polo. I find that the Victim 2010 Spring collection is very reflective of that look.
Dressing casual does not mean sacrificing class or professionalism. The styles seen here in the Victim 2010 Spring collection are simple yet very clean-cut--definitely a step up from just normal streetwear.
