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.
