Smart Casual Outfits for Men

Tailored trousers, crisp shirts, fine knitwear and leather loafers for men dressing for the office and dinner after.

Smart casual outfits for men pair soft tailoring with relaxed staples, trading rigid suits for pleated trousers, fine knitwear, collared shirts and clean leather shoes. Natural textures like wool, linen and corduroy soften clean navy, white and green tones without losing form. Casual Friday, which grew from Hawaii's Aloha Friday and became widely known in American offices in the nineties, let people trade suits and ties for more casual clothes.

Homme Plisse Issey Miyake makes trousers that are sewn first and then pleated in a heat press, so they resist wrinkles and dry fast. A.P.C., which Jean Touitou founded in Paris in the late eighties, brings jeans and knits with clean, simple lines. Les Deux, a Danish menswear label that began with a white t shirt, keeps to a minimal take on streetwear.

Due West in Toronto brings the most, with knits, shirts and jeans from A.P.C., Drôle de Monsieur, Les Deux, COOR and Walk in Paris. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Homme Plisse Issey Miyake pleated trousers and jackets with Song for the Mute, MM6 Maison Margiela and UJOH, and Utopia in Toronto brings Aime Leon Dore tees, polos and cardigans.
