Formal men 's dress codes have been relaxed during the health emergency. Several Ecuadorian designers and fashion brands agree on this.

Priority has been given to upper garments because, due to teleworking, it is the only thing that is seen through webcams, explains Ana María Rossi , De Prati 's head of design.

The designer Daniela Dávila corroborates it. Her clients have asked for long-sleeved and short-sleeved cotton shirts, a fresh and noble textile to the touch. They wear them without a tie or jacket .

Polo shirts are an option that has been very well received, as they give the necessary touch of seriousness to attend virtual work meetings, while being comfortable. “They are versatile . They can be combined with jeans and tennis shoes or casual pants and dress shoes, ” says Jorge Pérez, from the Vagantti menswear store.

The jackets have not been completely abandoned, says Pérez . In the case of professionals who must go to the office, they have opted for suits with a cooler air, made with light textiles and without linings . Vests are an alternative.

The protection and care line has also grown, according to Susan Lazo, from the Guayaquil brand Indie. The clients of this firm look for masks and 'buffs' of anti-fluid fabrics that combine with their office clothes.
