What shoes do successful men choose?

Smart Casual is a neat, casual yet relatively informal style.

“Smart everyday” - this is how Smart Casual is translated into Russian. Being the golden mean between strict business and casual style, this style of clothing has gained immense popularity among men around the world.

Smart Casual looks very elegant and sophisticated in everyday life, but at the same time does not create a strict and formal look. We propose to consider the main characteristics of this style of clothing, so that you can easily create a stylish look.

The main difference between Smart Casual and formal business style is the lack of a clear framework, which opens up space for experimentation and greater self-expression. For an elegant casual style, cotton pants, dark jeans, shirts, blazers, good jackets and quality shoes are appropriate.

How to dress smart casual?

As with any style, the choice of specific garments will depend on the occasion. If we are talking about an informal meeting, the combination "jacket + jeans + T-shirt" will be appropriate. But if you're going to work, even if the dress code allows it, it's still better to opt for chinos, which don't look as relaxed as jeans.

“Smart Casual on a summer weekend in Sardinia with a cocktail at the yacht club is different from Smart Casual in Toronto in winter for an informal dinner. Good taste helps you understand the differences in terms of location, theme, people and weather, ”says Andrea Perrone, CEO of the Italian fashion house Brioni.
