Made with breathable fabrics and stretchable knits, they give you the comfort you need to get through the day with absolutely no compromise on style! Check out these modern smart casual outfits to nail the smart-casual look…
Smart casual outfits for women
This season is all about smart casual dresses in women’s fashion, as summer trends go. Loose, flowing styles covered in prints and patterns that are made for summer, these dresses are equally stylish for a casual day out or a workday.
If you, like most of us, love floral prints in the summer, Code’s elegant and feminine midi dress in White is a gorgeous number to start the week off in. The three-quarter sleeves are puffed and in a sheer fabric and lead into a ruffled round neckline, while the A-line cut has a fabric tie-up waist. And the delicate fabric is covered in Pink floral motifs. Another A-line dress that should make it into your wardrobe also comes from Code. Designed in a Black rayon fabric with short sleeves and a band collar, it is also covered in a multicoloured floral print. Colour Me’s Yellow midi dress is very chic for any occasion – a spread collar, half-sleeves, fabric tie-up waist, and the detailed flower and bird print come together elegantly.
Another classic during the season is stripes! You can try basic monochrome stripes with Code’s A-line dress. The fitted sleeveless bodice has a flowing skirt that sits below knee length. The highlight of this smart casual dress is the Black and White stripes. The Navy Blue bodycon dress from Bossini with a Peter Pan collar and three-quarter sleeves has simple horizontal stripes. For a little more colour in your stripes, the Pink and White A-line dress from Colour Me with a light floral print on the bodice has a relaxed vibe.
Smart casual outfits for men
Whether your workwear leans towards the casual or formal side, the new collection that Lifestyle Stores has just launched will help you create those outfits that leave an impression.
Polo t-shirts and button-down shirts will never go out of trend for smart casual men’s outfits. If you like the relaxed yet on-point style of Polos, you could try prints instead of a plain tee. Code’s Olive Green Polo t-shirt has broad stripes in complementary colours, while the Navy Blue t-shirt has a dotted all-over print. The solid Black t-shirt with a band collar and button placket is also an excellent choice for casual trousers.
Button-down shirts are always a sure-fire hit for men’s work attire. And a subtle print or pattern only make them better! The Dark Blue formal shirt with a light checked pattern or even the White formal shirt with a dotted print, both from Code, complements Black trousers.
A formal blazer is a quick way to upgrade any look for meetings or dressier occasions. Code’s single-breasted formal blazer in Light Grey is well-suited to different outfits. Depending on the event, you can either top it off on a shirt and pair of trousers or a tee and denims combination.
You can opt for neutral colours for your lowers – casual and formal trousers. This way, you can ensure they match with a variety of t-shirts and shirts. Code’s casual trousers in Navy Blue with a slim and tapered fit and the Light Grey formal trousers would look classy as a part of smart casual men’s outfits.
Need your office outfits classy but chic and fancy? I would suggest keeping a capsule wardrobe to pick your smart-casual outfit ideas from and changing them as per your mood.
