As we near the end of summer and the new season creeps in, it’s time to consider who and where you want to be this autumn. It doesn’t matter how old we are, or how lauded, it turns out that dreaded back-to-school feeling never leaves you. Strip away the panic by hitting restart on your career and your coordinating wardrobe. Make new Monday mantras and lifestyle goals.

But, you can refresh your 9-to-5 rotation. The question is, which workwear tribe are you part of?
