It’s already
hard enough to identify the lines that define a ‘smart-casual’ attire.
It’s even harder to make sure that you look chic while staying
within the dress code. But don’t let that challenge stop you from making
sure that your outfit remains in style. There really is no formula to a
smart casual outfit so get creative with the restrictions and go out of
the box. Just remember, keep your look simultaneously professional and
fun! It can be quite tricky to find a balance between casual and
professional, so here are some styling tricks to help you navigate
around the confusing dress code like a true fashion girl.

A blazer paired with a turtleneck top
looks out-of-this-world chic and smart at the same time. Sport a pair of
athleisure-inspired paneled pants to add a dash of casual to the
overall look.

Nothing looks more professional than a
white collared top, so add a little flair to it by layering a plaid
statement-making dress. Top it all off by accessorizing with
complementary hues.

Smart casual should never equate to boring, so play it up with no-shoulder tops, puffy sleeves, and pointy high-heeled mules.

Play with patterns and bold colors to

Another hack to acing smart casual: put
together corporate pieces in coordinating patterns and prints! Make a
blouse and trousers combo look extra chic with a print-on-print
ensemble.
