How to Wear Smart Casual

Keep one tailored piece in the outfit—blazer, trousers, or clean loafers.

Navy, stone, charcoal, ivory, and light blue are the easiest base.

If the top is softer, keep the trousers sharp. If the shoes are casual, keep the shirt clean.

Skip loud graphics, bulky sneakers, and overly washed silhouettes.
