For most guys, waking up early and figuring out what to wear often feels less like a decision and more like a chore. Between getting the kids ready for school, packing lunches, and waiting on that final drip of coffee to do its thing, mornings are already chaotic enough.
Sure, you’ve probably got a solid lineup of neckties and white dress shirts, but somehow the mental gymnastics begin when it’s time to decide which pants go with which sweater — and why this feels harder before 8 a.m. is anyone’s guess. While we’re proud to be necktie purveyors, we’re also in the business of making getting dressed as painless as possible. That’s why we created bundles designed to make your 9 to 5 a whole lot more seamless.
From dress shirts and tailored trousers to cardigans and sweater polos, we’ve put together four bundles that serve as the foundation of your workday wardrobe — without forcing you to open a new credit card or make questionable financial decisions before breakfast. Here’s how we’re making office dressing just a little bit easier.
Classic, Not Corporate: The Merino Heritage Shawl Sweater and Dress Shirt Set
A crisp white dress shirt is the backbone of any professional-looking outfit. Ours is non-iron, which means it’s easy to throw on, easy to pack, and doesn’t punish you for owning a suitcase. The length runs a touch longer, so it actually stays tucked in — no mid-meeting shirt adjustments required.

We’ve paired it with our 100% Merino wool shawl-collar cardigan, which works just as well on its own as it does with a necktie. It’s also an ideal layering piece under a topcoat for that daily commute moment — when you’re leaving the office, but still very much in work mode.
An Anti-Boardroom Palette: The Merino Heritage Shawl Set in Nutmeg
A strong piece of knitwear can anchor any cold-weather outfit, especially when paired with well-tailored dress pants. But if this combo already feels like muscle memory, it might be time to reassess your Pantones.
Instead of the usual run-of-the-mill grey sweater with black or grey trousers, consider something still neutral but a touch warmer — think nutmeg or espresso brown. The pairing works just as well with a crisp white dress shirt, or even a pale blue one, and instantly feels more considered. And while it’s hard to quit grey cold turkey, a grey topcoat isn’t the only answer. Try navy instead — it delivers the same versatility with far less ultra-corporate energy.

The Easy Suit Upgrade: LaSalle Merino Sweater and Pant Set
Merino wool is usually typecast as a sweater, sock, or base-layer material. But if your Monday-through-Friday sportcoat rotation is feeling stuck in a loop of black and navy worsted wool, consider this its well-deserved substitute. We’ve turned merino into a sweater blazer that’s more relaxed, and just as cozy as your favorite cardigan.

Ours is made from 100% merino wool and pairs excellently with 100% wool dress pants for optimal wintertime warmth. Wear it with a long-sleeve tee, a polo, or a rollneck — dealer’s choice. However you style it, it keeps you comfortable in a chilly office and is easy enough to pack for a weekend getaway.
A Smarter Way to Wear Color: The Merino Ivy Pine Polo and Pant Set
A long-sleeve polo is a wildly underrated closet stalwart — especially one with a full placket. It has the structure of a polo, but the versatility of a lightweight cardigan. This forest-green version is 100% merino wool and pairs well with just about everything: dress pants, jeans, chinos — you name it.
Got a chalk-striped suit and no clue how to have fun with it? This green polo sweater will solve your dilemma. First, it breaks up the monotony of the same old suit-and-tie routine. Second, that rich green pops perfectly against the chalk-stripe, giving the whole look some personality without turning it into a costume.
