Smart casual facts for kids
An example of smart casual attire interpreted by global fashion magazine Topman. Topman explains casual and formal clothing pieces are mixed and matched. This photograph illustrates the use of: (a) a dress shirt with French cuffs and cufflinks (formal); (b) a herringbone jacket (casual); (c) jeans (casual); and (d) dress/business shoes (formal or semi-formal).
Smart casual is a dress code that is neat yet casual. Oxford defines it as "neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress code". "Business casual" is another similar term. It suggests some formality, not really casual in fact.
Different localities, kinds of events, contexts, or cultures have varying interpretations of the dress code.
