If biz cas guy was wearing charcoal grey pants it would up the formality even more and could still be biz cas. PANTS: Biz cas guy is wearing grey chinos, while smart casual guy is wearing chinos in an English Tan (?) colour that is more vibrant and casual looking. Smart casual guy is wearing (I think) brown leather boots with a moc toe (I think?), that has a more casual look that suede derbies. In terms of the pictures you show, here's my breakdown:įOOTWEAR: biz cas guy is wearing what look to be tan suede bucks, classic biz casual footwear. Like those that distinguish business casual from smart casual. ![]() And then it's up to you to take it further and focus on the little details. I think you're in the right sub if you do want to figure out the basics. And add cool watches or scarves, or get into interesting shoes. And then learning how to match multiple patterns. Which can be a pair of black oxfords, some brown brogues, white sneakers, and a pair of brown leather boots.Īfter that, you can start looking at accessorizing and all the little details that make the tiny differences that you'll see in cool inspo pics. I'd add to that just having the right basic footwear for what you need. And a basic understanding of how to mix colours and patterns goes a long way. These 3 are really just basic fundamentals, and they aren't super complicated so long as you don't overthink them.įit is king, clothes can be tailored to fit, and clothes fit better on a body that hasn't gone to shit.

Business formal isn't hard, everyone knows what it looks like, and there is quite a bit of leeway.
