Smart Casual Dressing: How to Make the Right Pick

What do you mean by smart casual? There are actually three words you have to remember: organization, elegance, and style. With these in mind, we can create a list of useful tips on how to pick the right smart casual outfit.

1. Ensure the dress is not too short.
Miniskirts, especially the form-fitting ones, are almost always considered tacky for smart casual dressing. Flowing dresses are recommended, but avoid donning the very long ones, those that reach the ankles. The ideal length is somewhere around the knees.

2. Wear that blazer.
A blazer or a snugly fitting jacket is a perfect complement to any dress or dress pants. It helps add formality to what you are wearing – without going overboard. Moreover, blazers make your clothes more versatile. If you need to go out after work, you can just simply remove your blazer to reveal a halter top.

3. Choose classic tops.
Smart casual dressing doesn’t leave a lot of room for experimentation, especially with tops. Scrap the “Starving Artist” shirt or the plunging necklines. Instead, go for the more classic pieces, such as lace-detailed blouses or solid-colored tops. So you can save some moolah, buy them as wholesale clothing.

4. Subtly emphasize the figure.
You wear smart casual clothes not to flaunt your body. You wear them because you want to be chic and formal at the same time. But that does not mean you need to hide your body entirely. A three-fourth blouse can make your arms appear slimmer. Run a belt around to emphasize your waist.
