subject: The Definition Of Smart Casual [print this page] We all know the classic staples to wear for work in the summer where being cool is just as important as looking professional. However, there are some other ways to top off your smart/casual look. We've rounded up some options to get you started on pulling off a more laid back look for summer while still looking work ready.
Accessorise
Dont be afraid to accentuate your accessories and use them to enhance your office attire. Whether its a fancy watch or statement earrings, not only will you look put together, but youll be effortlessly chic for the office. With plenty to feast your eyes upon from Very, youll also save some serious cash with their voucher codes online. But remember when it comes to jewellery, less is more so if you wear a bold bracelet, pair the look with an understated necklace or subtle stud earrings. You dont want to go overboard as youll let your treasures takeover your outfit. Pairing trousers with a leather belt that matches your shoes and bag can also add a final touch of smartness to any look.
Grooming
Sleeking long hair back in a ponytail can also make the difference between looking like youre lounging around the living room versus taking the corporate world by storm. Wearing a simple headband can also make long hair look much more polished and professional. Also be sure to attend to your nails. If you cant afford a manicure, at the very least make sure you remove any chipped polish and keep them trimmed.
So whatever your style, there are plenty of options that allow you to stay smart for the office without having to sacrifice your trendy weekend look, so you can look productive while staying true to your individual sense of style. When it comes to clothing, it is this perspective that explains the entire concept of the term smart/casual.
