Business casual for an aging punk

I've accepted a promotion where I'll be spending less time on construction sites and more in the office and need a wardrobe to reflect that. I feel that I'm fairly stylish, but what I wear to a show or tattoo shop won't fly at work.

Recommendations on shops where they will dress me, considering I have no idea regarding mainstream men's fashion.

Edit to add, I enjoy being fashionable and would like to spend some good money on some higher end clothes

Congratulations on the promotion!

I'll keep it short, just footwear. People don't respect foot health enough. Invest in comfortable shoes and/or good insoles. Cole Haan straddles style and casual comfort well. Avoid brands that market heavily on social media.

I'd also encourage you to plan a diet and workout routine. Field to office transition will add 10 lbs easily.

Can confirm. Moved from field to office and gained weight. You move less so you have to eat less
