Smart casual: Decoding the dress code

Suits are becoming too trendy these days for men. Because these suits can be turn you into very smart casual either for a very formal one. All you have to do is to know on how to style it yourself and on how you can make yourself feel comfortable while wearing it. Furthermore, there are a lot of suit types available today in the market that you could choose from with and one of which was the neutral or other called it as a basic black suits. But if you are fond enough and pretty adventurous with your own fashion, you’ll probably get excited to the colored type of suits which are recently gone viral as for the Asian men’s fashion. You may look over google on how you can pull off these suits.

Also, ‘Smart casual’ is the dress requirement for many events, including birthdays, weddings and the occasional cocktail party. But the line can sometimes become blurred between too formal and too casual, so what should you be wearing?

When to wear?

It was actually varies on the occasions and it could be also depending on it’s needs. Other can easily pull off the suits for their daily errands while other are too conscious with it and just killing it when there’s any parties up their way. But for the fashion insight, you can merely wear a suits whenever you wanted as long as you’re feeling it and the brings more confident in you!

On the off chance that it hasn’t been indicated, it can be hard to decide when to go for a easygoing look. As few workplaces and work environments have the so called ‘dress down Fridays’ or an casual clothing standard to follow. But like what I’ve said, go for it if you feels it because that’s how fashion works wonders.

Though, a certain company, if you are in to one though, are requiring it as their daily work uniforms opting to be looking neat and presentable. But of course, after the tiring day of the work it’s time for you to party and get ease a little bit which I think you should dress down by simply putting the coat down and roll up the sleeves to loose it up and to be look more party ready guy.

Some staple items

Dressing for business casual doesn’t have to involve the purchase of a new wardrobe. Simply invest in a few staple items to achieve the look.

To be honest, on my personal fashion preferences when I need to be casual smart. I’ll go for my trouser and with my plain basic tee – tucked in. Because this is a generic outfit for a man to thus if you are looking for some style that can make you dope and not so outdated in men’s fashion these days. You can simply follow the basic outfit that I’ve mentioned because I am pretty sure that this look will not go you wrong in any occasions or gatherings you might attend with.

In addition, you can buy off a nicely done blazer to finished off the total look and if it’s need to be formal in a certain time you can add up a little scarf or hankie on your blazer pocket for you to achieved the look easily. But if not, I think plain white tee will do the work.

The full outfit

It might be hard for you to style up for business casual, especially if it’s not something that you’re comfortable with to.  But CT Shirts, who are experts in men’s fashion and retailers of men’s shirts, have made some suggestions for you to follow:

The classic roll-neck

Roll-neck jumper are too essentials if the weather are still cold. But if not, I’ll suggest you to have the tank or plain basic tee to achieve the look. But more or less a classic roll-neck jumper are the legend that you should consider oftentimes.

The open collar

Open a few buttons on a smart shirt to dress it down slightly to get the casual look more. And if you’re confident enough, you can show more off your skin over the chest area but if not, you can always wear off your favorite black tee and pair it with your loosen white smart shirt. This may create a illusion actually for you to have a board shoulder looking. I think, this trick hasn’t yet popular in the western countries but for us Asian guys we also do this when we opt for the casual styling.

And to complete the look, you can get yourself a great pair of sunnies if you tend for outdoor, of course. And you can either wear your beads bracelets for the cool vibes and get the best slip on you could wear to finished off the entire look you’d tiring to pull off.

What Men Should Wear This Spring/Summer 2018?

Some people say that women are more stylish than men. There’s probably some truth to that but there’re men who are also into fashion. They’re knowledgeable when it comes to the latest trends and have every trendy item in their closets and even the timeless pieces. When it comes to trends there’re those that’re difficult to wear because they may be too weird but there’re definitely those that look nice. For those who are fashion-challenged, don’t despair because what’s cool this spring/summer 2018 is already figured out.

Tonal color matching should be on every man’s mind this season. Think of tonal dressing as spring/summer’s answer to all-black everything but way better because there’re more choices or alternatives. Whatever the setting is, for sure tonal dressing will work. A tip would be to start with shades that you already have in your closet such as blue or gray. You can likewise go for lighter neutrals. But a rule in fashion is that you should only wear three tonal pieces in a single outfit.

Menswear’s new go-to pattern is officially the vertical stripe. It’s seen on almost any type of clothing like jackets and coats at fashion weeks all over the world. Wearing vertical stripes is a bit tricky though. When it’s not worn the right way, it may look tacky or funny. Subtlety is the answer to this. There should only be one vertically striped piece at a time and the size of the stripes should be narrow and straight.

Another trend is the side-stripe trousers. Evidence of this is its presence in the catwalk of different luxury designers’ fashion shows. If you don’t want to look like an athlete when you’re wearing this trend, you’d better balance everything. You can wear trainers but make sure to add a slim-fit shirt or a knitted piece.

Dad denim which is leg-friendly, loose fit, light wash, straight up and down, and relaxed is likewise trendy. It doesn’t make you look like you’re trying too hard and is also very comfortable compared to skinny jeans. Wear cropped designs or pinroll your jeans and match with pastel loose-fitting shirts, T-shirts, trainers, and Chelsea boots.

A trend that’s making a comeback is the tropical print shirts. This should be worn with care because you might end up looking comical. Seek out designs in pared-back colour palettes and match with dark tailored jeans or chinos.


Another must-have item are checks. The best way to make checks work for you is to try larger or more complex motifs on outerwear, knitwear, and trousers. Check yourself and make sure that the rest of your outfit is toned down or simple if you want the whole outfit to work.

A hot trend this season are anoraks and windbreakers. They come colour-blocked, in dark and moody shades and pastels. You can style them any which way you want. Throw one on over tailored pants, jeans, shirts, knits, boots, or trainers.

The Gucci Classy Padlock

Have you ever heard about the latest accessory of Gucci? if not, let me then share with you this new piece that the brand had worked with for this year, as the addition for their list of accessories.

It’s a padlock. Who never thought that even a padlock can be a branded one? I think, no one can thought about it, either I – I don’t. Hence, I am too shocked when seeing it because it’s really a rare piece that a high-end brand can even produced. But as I further thinks about it, I am kind agreed that this one is too useful especially the brand, Gucci, offers some classy and elegant bags that are needed to be locked – but they just chose to have it locked in a very luxurious way by having made their own Gucci Padlock.

This padlock is free if you get yourself any Gucci Bags, I think so. But I am not still sure though as I haven’t know yet the further details about it. But as soon the Gucci releases new updates regarding their padlock. I’ll definitely update you all here once again..
