The SMART-CASUAL dress code
The smart-casual dress code is all about finding the right balance between smart and casual. Think a tailored blazer and pants in combination with a casual shirt and loafers. Or a tweed jacket paired with chinos with folded cuffs and strappy sandals with heels. You can also go for a cashmere sweater paired with a pleated skirt and classic pumps. Combine your classic essentials with your casual favorites, yet go for a clean and high-end chic look. Sneakers and denim are allowed, yet go for example for simple white sneakers and dark colored denim. Leave your worn sneakers and distressed denim at home. To make it easy hereby a few do's and don'ts:
Do's:
- Classic tailored styles in combination with jersey classics
- Go for a classic silhouette - think preppy
- Flat shoes are allowed; think - loafers, brogues, ballet flats ánd sneakers
