Smart casual

Smart casual is a dress code that blends polished and relaxed elements — for example, a blazer with dark jeans, or a knit with tailored trousers and clean shoes. It's neater than everyday casual but stops short of formal business or suiting.

The formula is one elevated piece grounding one relaxed piece: tailoring with denim, a crisp shirt with chinos, a blazer over a tee. Clean, intact footwear and a tidy fit are what keep it on the "smart" side.

It's a touch more relaxed than business casual, which leans further toward the office end of the scale.
