The less ambiguous older brother of “smart casual”. Sharp casual describes a man who rejects both the laziness of the roadman/athleisure aesthetic and the conservatism of dress codes which characterise coke-addled investment bankers.
I.e. someone who is permanently well dressed but also comfortable in their own skin. Often combines elements of the traditional lounge suit with more casual contemporary elements such as denim and workwear to create a clean cut, presentable and approachable aesthetic.
Jackets: slim fitting suit jacket/patterned blazer, Lewis leathers motorcycle jacket, traditional varsity letterman, Levi’s denim jacket, Harrington G9, Burberry trenchcoat, sheepskin flying jacket.
Trousers: Uniqlo, wrangler or Levi’s jeans, Ralph Lauren chinos or slim fitting suit trousers.
Jumpers: polo neck, crew neck or v neck in contrasting colours to jacket or trousers
Shirts: polo shirts, white tee shirts or cuffed office shirts.
Shoes: Converses, Jack Pascelles, Oxfords, Brogues, motorcycle boots, desert boots.
Accessories: eccentric cufflinks, silk ties, patterned scarfs, pocket squares, baker boy (winter) or Panama hat (summer).

Get the Sharpy-Sharp mug.To be as sharp as grandpa used to keep his knives― very, very sharp. Sharp enough to shave with or cut through paper easily. Much sharper than dad-sharp.

Get the grandpa-sharp mug.This is an AMAZING PERSON who's short but sooooooo Adorable. She may be easy to make fun of if ur close but otherwise she'll just laugh at u if u make fun of her. She has beautiful tan skin and GORGEOUS Frizzy FLUFFY hair. She is so confident in herself. Draws funny comics of her friends but is embarrassed to show them. Sheyna Sharp is a wonderful person.
