Smart Casual

Occasions: Business purposes, church events, "night on the town", everyday wear


Rules for women's clothing, are more flexible in smart casual dress attire, so suitable lowers include slacks, knee length skirts, and dress pants. Pair these with silk blouses, knit tops, shirts, sweaters or a sleeveless top with a cardigan. For an elegant casual dress code, coordinate your outfit carefully and accessorize with simple, understated jewelry. Shoes are also flexible, but again avoid sports shoes and sneakers; boots are also acceptable in a smart casual dress code. If in doubt, don't risk wearing jeans, but if not, you could pair your blue jeans with a white shirt and peep toe heels for a classic, never fail combination. Smart casual dress ideas include tea length, shirt and silk wrap dresses.
For women, it consists of slacks or a skirt (long or short), a blouse or turtleneck, a fashionable belt, a jacket, a vest, or a sweater coordinated to the outfit, hosiery or socks with boots, flats (leather, suede, or fabric) or mid-heel shoes. Women may also wear jewelry, such as earrings that complement their overall outfit, at least. This category demands a pulled-together, harmonious, complete look with colors, fabrics, shoes, and accessories, for both men and women.
