Smart Casual Style Tips

Change Your Attitude
Smartness is more a matter of the appearance of your clothes rather than their style. Shoes polished, trousers pressed, and tie properly-tied are necessary factors in a smart appearance.

A pristine T-shirt, indigo jeans and box-fresh trainers can look dressier than a wrinkled shirt, stained trousers and scuffed shoes.
