There are a few key pieces that you should have on your radar… A couple of key blazers in neutral colours are easy to pair with more casual picks for laid-back formal. Chinos are also a great alternative to tailored trousers and pair well with blazers and trainers for a low-key date-night look.

FOR SUMMER OCCASIONS
A well-fitted suit can really help elevate your style game. Aim to nail the basics with a full suit, then branch off from there. Try including plain tees and trainers into your formal fits for dressing your look up or down.
Quality pieces are super important when it comes to nailing the smart-casual look. Comfier basics work well for longer days like at the races or for summer weddings. Plus, with no tie or shirt to restrict you, it’s easier to shed the layers when the dancefloor gets going!

FOR THE 9 TO 5
In the office, first impressions count. Smart separates can hold the key to creating a professional look that means business. Mix and match classic pieces like trousers, shirts, and blazers with your basics to create a variety of outfits that work for meetings, presentations, or a casual Friday. The key is finding the picks that fit well and make you feel confident – because when you look good, you perform better.

FOR DATE NIGHT
Smart not your thing? Don’t worry. This is all about finding YOUR level of formal and what works for you. Whether you’re updating your look for date night or just want to look the part when you’re running errands, investing a little in some key staples like blazers and a pair of tailored trousers will help you to throw a look together in no time.
