Smart Outfits for Men

For smart casual occasions, they’re often the hardest to pick an outfit for. You don’t want to dress too formally but equally, dressing down can sometimes be a no-no, especially if there’s a dress code. It’s those in-between events where you want to be comfortable but still very presentable. Often, it could be day to night, such as the office to an office party, so it’s all about those mix-and-match pieces and switching just a couple of items. Here are a whole host of items to make smart outfits for men.

The best place to start is with a collared shirt. True to Rydale fashion, we always recommend a country checked shirt. You can wear them to the office but also for a night out, whether it’s at the pub with friends, a family meal or a special party. If you’re not a fan of colour, stick to classic country shades, such as cream, brown or olive. This trio of colours not only complement each other but are also easy to style with other colours. If you prefer colours, shades of blue or red add personality to your outfit. Many men have a wardrobe full of blue or red clothing so it can be equally as easy to make a smart outfit. 

Next, you’ll need some trousers. Of course, shooting breeks are very traditional but not always wearable for many occasions. Instead, opt for classic beige chinos in the spring/summer and dark wash jeans in the autumn/winter. Both pairs are easy to wear with just about any top, jumper or jacket because of their neutral colours.

Leather shoes are a must for smart outfits for men, whether lace-up brogues, boat shoes or a pair of Chelsea boots. Again, stick to shades of brown, tan or navy so you can wear them with your entire country gentleman wardrobe.
