Style File: Smart meets Casual

When it comes to dressing up smart, we think the suit and tie with the snazzy brogues, or a fitted jumper, with the shirt/bow tie combo, finished off with a pair of trousers and polished loafers.
However, dressing smart doesn’t need to be so uptight! These days it’s completely okay to loosen up a bit and pair your favourite trainers with a shirt and tailored trousers – feeling comfortable and still looking dapper. Here we have simple smart/casual outfit perfect for a date, college/uni, or even an interview!

1. Jumper – Mr Porter
2. Shirt – River Island
3. Trousers – River Island
4. Trainers – JD Sports
