Smart Casual

A nonsensical dress code that people slap onto events, parties, and workplaces.

Completely down to interpretation; this always causes confusion and often spectacular results.

A mixture between smart and casual - should not be taken literally.
Andy- "What's the dress code tonight?"
Bob- "Smart Casual"
Andy- "Well what the hell does that mean?!"

Jim- "Hey, is Andy wearing jogging bottoms with that blazer?!"
Bob- "Yeah it's Smart Casual"

Smart Casual

Order of dress between Business Attire and Casual.

For men, this consists of a collared shirt with jacket without a tie. The pattern and colour of the jacket do not have to match with the pants.

For women, this order of dress offers a wide range of options. Skirt or pants are both fully acceptable. Jacket is optional.

Smart Casual is another way of saying no jeans and T-Shirt.

Wear business clothes in a relaxed fashion.

Sharp-casual

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).

Examples:

Steve McQueen
Tom Hiddleston
Michael Caine

James Dean
On the day of the trial, Henry adopted a sharp-casual aesthetic, mistakenly thinking this might make the jury look more favourably upon his crime.
