Technical Support: Work Clothes You Can Climb Mountains In

The best performance-oriented pieces from brands that make office clothes designed to hold up outdoors.

Founded in 2012 by three MIT grads, this company makes dressy shirts, pants, and blazers that perform like workout gear. This slim-fitting suit, made of a polyester fabric, flexes a great deal. So putting it on feels as if you’re getting into a Spider-Man costume—in a good way. Fortunately, it looks and wears like a normal suit. Blazer, $348; pants, $148; ministryofsupply.com

It’s not formal enough for every office but still ideal as do-it-all travel wear. Stretchy and comfortable and, thanks to polyester-spandex fabric, you can throw it in your suitcase when you’re in a hurry and it will come out wrinkle-free. $70; eddiebauer.com
