This is a new menswear dress code.
The smart-casual look is oftentimes known as the centre between a jeans, t-shirt and a full suit.
Previously, smart–casual was said to be a leisure Friday’s outfit but now it helps with the traditional rule of not looking out of place or overly dressed as well as looking stylish enough to make you fit in a pub. This key pieces below will help you find a perfected fit no matter the occasion.
1. Jacket: A blazer is a sure bet; get one you would not necessarily wear to work. A textured wool jacket will do just fine. Chose a colour that will work well for you, in this case blue was chosen, it’s easy to wear, it’s smart but not official, relaxed but not lazy. It will pair great with denim or trousers too.
2. Trousers: What you wear on your legs will be a result of what’s on top. Remember though, jeans are great that is if they’re dark, clean, rip free and fitted.
3. Shirt: The shirt should be balanced in between formal and relaxed will work perfectly. Usually with a button –down collar. It should have a comfortable feel.
4. Shoes: This is the most important part of an outfit, in terms of defining just how sharp it is. Ideally a Chelsea boots with a rounded toe will do just fine.
5. Accessories: A watch that isn’t digital to finish the look.Any of the affordable and stylish ones will work. If you’re carrying a bag, try a leather document holder instead of a rucksack. Also watch out for your belt so it matches your shoe colour but not too much, so it reveals an eye for detail.
6. Finishing Touches: The same things work for all outfits. Polish, brush or clean your shoes, iron your shirt and see if your jacket can work with a pocket square. It might seem stressful, but when it comes to an easy smart-casual look, these little details leave a lasting impression.
