A PROPER SHIRT

The ticket to a winning business casual getup? A sharp shirt. Pick out a straightforward dress shirt, or try Tyrwhitt’s dedicated business casual collection: smart yet laid-back in equal measures. They’re both Zoom-friendly and perfect for the odd office appearance.

OR SKIP THE SHIRT

Not the ideal recommendation coming from a shirtmaker, unless said shirtmaker has been cutting a mean polo that is just as smart as a dress shirt. We're so confident in its smartness that we put it under our twill business suit, for a look that's as comfortable as it is elegant.

GET A LEG UP

Your video call looks may focus on the top half, but a proper pair of pants never goes amiss. For a mix of business-ready and easy-to-wear – in other words, a handy set of chinos. In stretch cotton and a plethora of colors, it’s just a case of picking the pair that work for you.

TOP IT OFF

Our well-knitted merino sweaters make a nifty finish to an office look with outstanding dress-down credentials. Keep the fit as trim as your build can take to leave no doubts about your sartorial flair, even in a casual getup.

SOFTLY TAILORED,
SHARPLY TURNED-OUT

Smart casual men look their best in artful, softly-structured tailoring. Choose a smart jacket with soft shoulders and a gentle lining, and you can throw it on over anything – shirts, polos, knits and even a white t-shirt – to dress your look up in an instant. Keep one to hand for surprise meetings with the boss or, if you need something for more formal occasions, try one of our smart casual suits instead. A two-piece in soft jersey or linen will never look out of place at smart casual events.

WALK THE WALK

Choosing business casual shoes can be tricky; but rest assured, there’s a middle ground between wholecuts and your ratty old sneakers. A handsome pair of boots or Derbies hit the mark at the end of your chinos. Loafers can add a rakish touch… though you may want to wait for fairer weather if your favorite pair are suede.
