Once upon a time, getting dressed was easy. A suit and tie would take you virtually anywhere. The modern era has ushered in a proliferation of dress codes for every event, from work to weddings. Whilst you are free to take phone calls and to do your Christmas shopping in shorts and slippers, in-person meetings require a touch more care. The terms ‘smart’ and ‘casual’ seem to be at odds with one another, and smart-casual remains one of the trickiest looks to manage. If Harry Styles can get away with wearing a mens pearl necklace in public; does that mean you can do the same? Because smart-casual is rather open to interpretation, it leaves plenty of room for mistakes. This is not what you want when you’re on a job interview or that all-important third date. But don’t lose heart. Whether you’re a man inquiring for yourself or a woman searching out for gifts for a gentleman, we’ve got it all laid out for you. Mastering the art of smart-casual dressing doesn’t have to provoke anxiety. Read on to find out the right way to do it.
