ONE
Just a Piece of Dressy
Styling the well-known and modern smart-casual look.
Being the easiest of all dressing styles, the smart-casual look is the toughest nut to crack. Defined based on what season you will be carrying the outfit, to the location, and the kind of folk that you’ll be surrounded with, it can be complicated for men to understand exactly how to dress in this dressing style appropriately.
Smart-casual is simply combining neat chinos or a pair of dark-colored denim with a classic shirt and a pair of high-end leather shoes. The only thing to ensure is that your outfit is well-fitted but slightly less formal from the business casual manner. With the correct western wear for parties, you are sure to rock that debonair impression.
GET SMART: The golden rule to rocking this style is keeping the location and crowd in mind.
