Smart-Casual Look

Hello there guys! Everyday, someone we know celebrates their birthday or you'll be just going to a parteeeeeeeeeh! But what if you weren't informed about the party or celebration until the day of the event? What would you do? No, the most important thing to ask yourself is what would you WEAR?! Okay now, don't panic! You don't need to wear something new or extravagant or an attention seeking outfit, 'cause first of all, it's not your birthday or what. Second, you're in a rush so you better think fast! Okay, just look in your closet and find something that is appropriate to a celebration or party. One outfit you might adore is the smart-casual look. So how do you pull it off? Here's how:

#1: Find a long sleeves button down shirt! A long sleeves button down shirt is a must to have that smart-casual look. It may be a simple long sleeves button down or a printed one like this checkered long sleeves button down with elbow patch by A to Z. Got it?

#2: Your pants! You can wear any pants, actually, except for sweatpants 'cause you know that's not smart-casual. You can wear chinos or denim pants. Smart-casual look isn't that hard to pull-off, you know? ;)

#3: To have that great transition between your top and pants, you need a belt! You can use a black or brown belt or any belt that you have as long as it matches your smart-casual look. Okay? Don't use too casual belts, alright?

#4: This is optional. You can wear some glasses to really have that "smart" looking look ;)

#5: Shoes are an investment! For the shoes, you can wear brogues, bluchers/derby shoes, moccasins, boat shoes or a top-sider to wrap up your smart-casual look!

#6: Wear some funky socks so that you won't look so formal. Pick some socks that have some prints on it. Socks are such nice things to have ha ha ;)

#7: You may or may not have a bag, but if you want to bring a bag then go ahead! But a friendly reminder, don't use JanSport bags or any bags that is too casual (BTW, I don't hate JanSport. JanSport fits with other outfits, not this one ha ha). You can use satchels or rucksacks as your bag! It will pump up your vibes/outfit! 

#8: Accessories! Accessories can add some "umpf" factor to your style!

#9: WATCH!!!!! You can never pull a smart-casual look without a watch. It's a vital piece in a smart-casual look. You can use leather band watches or the metallic ones.

#10: THE LAST STEP. Be confident and have fun!! ;)

Now, you're smart-casually ready to go to a party or a celebration!! Have fun! Stay Classically Fun! ;)
