Smart Casual Tailor Made Suits and JacketsSmart Casual Tailor Made Suits and Jackets

Many people find it more difficult to know what to wear when smart-casual attire is needed.

We work with all sorts of professionals who want to wear smart-casual as part of their business wardrobe. In modern business it has become more acceptable to wear smart-casual clothes on a day-to-day basis. As a guide if you are an entrepreneur, an IT professional, in the creative industries, or work in a consultancy role it is appropriate to wear smart-casual clothes. Think of people like Richard Branson and Steve Jobs; you rarely see them in a suit!

How To Wear A Smart Casual Bespoke Suit

The classic smart-casual look is a sports jacket or suit jacket worn with a casual style trouser. The trousers may be a chino or a suit trouser in a contrasting colour from the jacket. The key to getting the smart casual look just right is to choose well made garments with high quality fabrics and a great cut. They shouldn't be too fashionable, instead choose classic staples for a two week wardrobe, which is described in more detail in the About You section.

Top 10 Tips For Wearing A Smart Casual Suit:

  1. Wear colours that work well with your complexion; we can advise on this.
  2. Wear Natural fibres; such as light weight
wools that are high quality.
  3. Jackets and sport coats give an outfit 
more credibility, distinction and authority,
while maintaining a casual presence.
  4. Colour schemes, which are well-coordinated, harmonious, or monochromatic, work best to achieve a polished sophisticated image.
  5. Wear well fitted pressed woven button front shirts, in textured or casual fabrics.
  6. Opt for expensive looking, high quality 
Marino wool, cotton or silk knit collared tops.
  7. Look stylish by wearing a crewneck 
sweater, with a woven collared shirt, underneath exposing the collar.
  8. Choose high quality shoes and belts, 
made of fine leather or suede, with 
classy sportswear finishing.
  9. Select socks that are solid, patterned or
textured, a shade darker that the slacks,
or matching the shoe.
  10. Don't wear jeans in a formal business setting unless you are very confident. Only the likes of Steve Jobs from Apple can get away with this!
