Smart Casual Dress Code for Men: What to Wear and When

An evening that moves from a show to dinner, or from drinks into something later, needs an outfit that can move with it. That’s exactly what smart casual is for.

This guide breaks down the jacket, cloth and footwear choices that make it work in practice.

How to Wear a Waistcoat with a Suit: The Complete Guide 

The waistcoat is one of menswear’s most versatile and underused garments. It adds formality, structure and personality to a suit in a way that no other piece can, transforming a two-piece into something altogether more considered and complete. Whether worn as the defining centrepiece of a three-piece suit or introduced as a standalone layer to add depth to a simpler outfit, getting it right is well worth the effort.

What shirts to wear with a black suit? A style guide

A black suit commands attention. It’s sharp, uncompromising and operates with what we call high gravity – it carries a visual weight that few other garments can match.

Getting your black suit shirt combination right isn’t merely about picking a layer beneath the jacket. It’s about choosing the structural foundation that prevents the ensemble from appearing flat or even funerary.
