What smart casual means at work
Smart casual usually means no sports look, no loud logos and a clean finish. Chinos or tailored trousers with a collared shirt are common. Shoes should look cared for, so avoid scuffed canvas or very bright soles.
The four safest shoe types
- Leather loafers in tan, navy or black.
- Suede loafers for a softer, textured look.
- Plain low sneakers in white or beige, no heavy branding.
- Snoafers in black or navy for relaxed offices.
Which to pick
If your office is conservative, go for leather loafers. If it is relaxed, a clean faux leather sneaker or a snoafer is fine. Check your dress code before choosing. More detail on loafers is on Best Loafers for Men in India: Leather, Suede and Casual.
