What Is Smart Casual Attire?
Smart casual attire is a dress code that combines well-fitting, polished business wear with elements of casual attire—think blouses, polo shirts, button-downs, chinos, dress pants, dark-wash jeans, and polished, practical footwear. On the spectrum of formality, smart casual lies between dressy casual (jeans and blouses) and business casual (dress pants and pencil skirts). A common way to achieve a smart casual look is to pair pieces of slightly different formality levels, like a pencil skirt with a vibrant sweater, or a refined blazer over a flirty blouse.
When to Wear Smart Casual Attire
The smart casual dress code offers a balance between casual and formal wear, which is ideal for social occasions with a professional flare, such as after-work socializing or a social event at a business conference.
