Smart Casual Menswear for Everyday Wear

Smart Casual Menswear for Everyday Wear

Smart casual dressing works best when it feels natural. It should look tidy without feeling formal, comfortable without looking careless, and flexible enough for different parts of the day.

At Livingston, smart casual menswear is built around reliable trousers, well-cut shirts, useful knitwear and practical jackets.

Start with the trouser

Chinos are one of the easiest smart casual choices. The Brax Fabio Chinos are a good example of how a clean trouser can sit between casual jeans and formal tailoring.

Add a shirt or knit

A long-sleeve shirt gives the outfit structure, while knitwear softens it and adds warmth. A crew neck or quarter zip over a shirt is an easy combination for meals out, weekends and everyday workwear.

Keep footwear and jackets simple

Casual shoes, boots or leather shoes can change the feel of the outfit. A practical jacket or gilet finishes the look without making it too formal.

The key is choosing pieces that work together. A few good shirts, chinos, jeans and layers will create more outfits than a wardrobe full of disconnected items.
