How To Wear Smart Trousers Casually
The key to dressing down smart trousers is all in the choice of fabric. Casual jersey tops instantly give a low-key appeal to any smart pair. If you’re pairing with a smart blouse in a woven fabric it’s instantly going to give a smart and polished look, so you want to opt for simple fabrics and casual prints to dress the tailored shape down.
For your footwear choice, opt for trainers and simple flats. We’d avoid loafers and formal structured shoes. Contrasting colours to the trousers also give a relaxed feel and separate the trousers from the footwear. Black shoes and black trousers can create a formal workwear look you’re trying to avoid.
Outerwear is more versatile, take your pick from a denim jacket, bomber jacket, trench coat and plenty more! A blazer typically carries a formal feel, unless you’re wanting a smart casual look, we’d stay clear of them for casual styling.
