Corporate dress-code for The Wall Street Journal

Suiting Up

The Wall Street Journal commission Débora Islas for an artwork to illustrate their corporate dress-code feature.

The article is a 'Guide to Casual Back-to-Work Wear for Men' which strikes the balance between relaxed and professional, stating "...Sales of men’s formal clothing dropped by 74% globally between March and June 2020, according to GlobalData Retail. But the suit has a bigger problem: In the late 20th century it became a symbol of men bound to the corporate rat race. Ever since, these men—unwilling to be defined by their day jobs—have put their money into what they wear outside of work, splurging on expensive hoodies and branded sneakers. All the innovation has been in athleisure."

Débora's refined man evokes charisma and control and supports the idea of suiting up as a positive option for an office environment.
