INSPIRATION AND ADVICE
2018'S BEST STAFF STYLE
By Steven Potter, 24 December 2018
2018 has served up some serious looks; trainers are chunkier than ever, neon is now more than acceptable and even your dad's garms have became sought-after steez. But what threads make the cut here at the coal-face of fashion? We don't have to look far at ASOS HQ for style inspiration and inspired we've been. Here's a round up of the very best 2018 office 'fits the guys at ASOS pull off day after day. Bring on 2019.

Summertime Magic by Childish Gambino (FYI, that was literally the hardest decision I’ve made all year).

Perhaps a slightly controversial choice, but I’m going to go with Annihilation. I couldn’t stop thinking about that final sequence for days…

My favourite trend this year is also my greatest obsession. Pleated, high-waisted jeans with either a white or brightly coloured T-shirt.
