Who said office outfits can't be cool

Dressing casual at the office? Why not If done right, casual clothing at the office can make you feel more comfortable and even chic at your workplace. However, keep in mind that there's a code & conduct that needs to be followed even when you wear casual clothes.

Casual wear entered the office spaces since the start-up culture got popular. These outfits are better known as smart-casuals. They are a perfect blend of sophistication & comfort. Nowhere near to proper formals, such outfits can make you stand out and can even add to your approachability.

Here are CitySpidey picks that will make you look cool at your workplace:

Shirts and T-shirts

A few well-fitted long-sleeve shirts are a must-be in your wardrobe. For a more relaxed look, you can roll up the cuffs. Now with the arrival of smart-casuals, people have started to wear Polo T-shirts to the office. The occasional switch to plain basic t-shirts can be done easily. The plain t-shirts with a slim fit can make you look presentable at your office.

Jeans

Nothing screams ‘casual’ more than jeans. The best part about them is their versatility and thus, you can sport jeans at your workplace and look sophisticated and professional. Get properly fitted jeans with tapered or straight leg fit. It is always better to ace our ripped and distressed jeans when you go for an outing with your friends and to save those short capris and shorts for your picnic outings.

Chinos

These are the straight-fit cotton pants that can be worn instead of your jeans to ensure your comfort. Chinos instantly transform the overall appearance. The right classic colours such as navy blue, beige, brown, and khaki that are easy to pair will help you to build your style statement without much effort. These pants are best suited in the smart casual category.

Blazers

Blazers are known for their sophistication. A basic classic navy blazer will give you a timeless formal look at your workplace. You can replace the blazer with a solid open cardigan and that will help you to balance out your smart casual look.

Belts & Watches

You can look casual and classy just by adding these accessories to your outfit of the day. The addition of a brown strapped wrist watch can elevate your look instantly and of course, nothing beats a plain black or brown leather belt to make your smart casual look on point.

The Shoes

Shoes have the ability to make or break your entire look and thus it is important to put in a little effort in your footwear. Oxford shoes and boots are the formal footwear statement and styling casual for your office doesn't mean that you can show up in sport's shoes, you need to find a midway. Wearing loafers or leather slip-ons will give an elevated vibe to your overall outfit. Opting for basic sneakers or old-school trainers like a pair of Vans, a pair of leather or suede sneakers will rock your smart-casual look. Just be sure to keep the style simple and the colour choice focused.

Go and rock your workplace with the casual- smart style statement.
