What is Smart Casual?

Smart casual sits between leisure and office: put together, but without a suit and usually without a tie. That means a shirt with a collar, a polo or fine knitwear, chinos or dress trousers, and shoes in leather or suede. An overshirt, a blouson or a sport coat can be added, but doesn't have to be.

Typical

  • Oxford shirt, polo, knit polo or merino sweater
  • Chinos, gabardine trousers or dark jeans
  • Suede loafers, chukka boots
  • Overshirt, blouson or mac coat

Better not

  • Printed T-shirt, hoodie
  • Sweatpants, shorts
  • Running and athletic shoes
  • Full suit with a tie – looks like a costume here

Better not like this

Swap one piece and the first outfit falls apart. Black smooth leather penny loafer instead of Dark brown suede penny loafer: Black smooth leather looks hard and out of place with light beige.
