Dwight Schrute outfit color guide

A Dwight Schrute outfit works because it is a palette of mustard, brown and olive that nobody else wears on purpose. The shades matter more than the brand. Use this to check any substitute you find.

How to build the Dwight Schrute costume in five steps

1. Start with the shirtWear the mustard shirt buttoned all the way to the top button. Iron it, because Dwight always looks pressed.
2. Add the trousersPut on the dark brown trousers with the shirt tucked in tightly. A high, straight waist is the point.
3. Knot the tieKnot the brown tie short and tight to the collar. It should sit above the belt line.
4. Put on the blazer and shoesWear the olive-brown blazer buttoned. Add the black oxfords with dark socks.
5. Finish with the attitudeStand straight, say as little as possible and treat every request as a security issue.

The shirt, blazer, pants, shoes and tie

The mustard shirt

The Dwight Schrute shirt is the first thing people notice. At $14.99 the mustard-yellow dress shirt is the cheapest piece and the most important one. It is a wrinkle-free fabric, so it holds up all night. Order your usual size and check the collar.

The olive-brown blazer

The $39.99 slim fit blazer in dark olive brown gives the Dwight Schrute suit look. It is a casual jacket, so it works over a plain shirt for a normal day afterwards. Check the sleeve length, since slim fits run narrow.

The brown pants

The $27.99 stretch dress pants in dark brown are comfortable enough to wear all night. They match the tie and make the yellow shirt look intentional.

The shoes

The $49.99 black leather oxford shoes are a plain office shoe. They work at the office, at a wedding or on Halloween. Shine them first.

The tie

The $9.98 solid brown satin tie is the small detail that finishes the look. Knot it tight and keep it plain, with no stripes.

Dwight Schrute Halloween costume ideas

The outfit above is already a complete Dwight Schrute Halloween costume. A few ways to take it further:

• A fake beet. A plastic beet or a bag of beets turns the outfit into Schrute Farms in one step.
• A name tag. A Dunder Mifflin name tag that says Assistant to the Regional Manager is the easiest prop.
• Round glasses. Simple round glasses add the look of a man who takes everything seriously.
• A Jim prank. A stapler in jello is a cheap extra, and a coworker in a plain shirt and tie is Jim.

Dwight Schrute costume for women

The same pieces work on anyone. A mustard shirt, brown blazer, brown trousers and a brown tie make an easy Dwight Schrute costume for women. Size the blazer to fit and tuck the shirt in.

Common mistakes

• Lemon yellow. Bright yellow looks like a clown. It has to be mustard.
• Loose tie. Dwight never loosens his tie. Knot it tight to the collar.
• Untucked shirt. A tucked-in shirt is the whole look. Untucked reads as a regular office worker.
• Black blazer. A black jacket makes it a waiter outfit. Keep it dark olive brown.

Why the Dwight Schrute look works

The look is about commitment, and every piece adds to it: a loud shirt, an earthy jacket and shoes that never try to match. That mix reads as Dwight from across the room. It is also a costume made from clothes you can wear again, which is why it is such a common office-party choice.
