Minimalist Trainers

The trainer’s place within menswear has shifted dramatically over the last decade. The relaxing of dress codes across the board, coupled with the rise of high-end, minimalist kicks has ushered in a new era of smart casual sneakers.When shopping, simplicity in casualwear is key.

Structured Casualwear Coat

There’s only one instance in which a suit jacket should be worn with a smart casualwear outfit: at a Halloween party.

But that doesn’t mean tailoring should be banished to the back of your smart casual wardrobe entirely. You just need to dial down the rigidity.

Oxford Casualwear Shirt

The Oxford shirt is the very definition of smart casual. It’s one of the few structured shirts that takes on a clean-cut appearance when tucked in, and an easy-going nature when left untucked. It’s the perfect hybrid, and classic whites and blues have long been wardrobe staples.

Thick fabric gives the Oxford shirt a relaxed edge when compared to finer dress shirts, while the collared design keeps things smart. All of this works together to make this one of the most versatile and reliable smart casualwear pieces in your wardrobe.

Suede Derby Shoes

More relaxed than leather Oxfords, yet more refined than a sneaker, the suede Derby is a smart casualwear shoe that sits perfectly between those two extremes. It’s a must-have smart casual item. A classic all-rounder, perfect for dressing down a suit or for elevating a pair of jeans or chinos.
