OR SKIP THE SHIRT

Not the ideal recommendation coming from a shirtmaker, unless said shirtmaker has been cutting a mean polo that is just as smart as a formal collared shirt. We're so confident in the sophisticated appeal that we put it under our twill business suit, for a look that's as comfortable as it is elegant. Dressing smart casual for summer? Skip the suit altogether. Match one of our solid-colour polo shirts with a pair of tailored trousers and loafers for a refined warm-weather look.

GET A LEG UP

Your video call looks may focus on the top half, but a proper pair of trousers never goes amiss. You can do better than a pair of jeans for a mix of business-ready and easy-to-wear. A handy set of chinos represents perfectly acceptable smart casual attire. In stretch cotton and a plethora of colours, it’s just a case of picking the pair that matches your personal style. Style tip: choose your chinos in a darker wash if you're going for a classic white-shirt look.

TOP IT OFF

Our well-knitted merino jumper makes a nifty finish to a smart casual look with outstanding dress-down credentials. Keep the fit as trim as your build can take to leave no doubts about your sartorial flair, whether it’s worn to work from home or for your next job interview .

SHOP KNITWEAR

SOFTLY TAILORED,
SHARPLY TURNED-OUT

Smart casual men look their best in artful, softly-structured tailoring. Choose a smart jacket with soft shoulders and a gentle lining, and you can throw it on over anything – shirts, polos, knits and even a white t-shirt – to dress your look up in an instant. Keep one to hand for surprise meetings with the boss or, if you need something for more formal occasions, try one of our smart casual suits instead. A two-piece in soft jersey or linen will never look out of place at smart casual events.

WALK THE WALK

What is smart casual without the right footwear? Choosing smart casual style shoes can be tricky; but rest assured, there’s a middle ground between formal dress shoes and trainers. A handsome pair of Chelsea boots or Derbies hit the mark at the end of your chinos. Loafers can add a rakish touch… though you may want to wait for fairer weather if your favourite pair is suede. And there you have it: our complete guide to smart casual for men who want to nail this of-the-moment look with ease.
