NEW IN
Here at The Savile Row Company, we’re all for dressing smart, but we appreciate that sometimes you’ll want to opt for something a little more relaxed. However, just because you drop the suit and tie, that doesn’t mean you have to look dishevelled. To prevent such a catastrophe, below are five casual style tips for men wanting to master dressing down.

Invest in the Basics
The key to any well-rounded wardrobe is a foundation of everyday basics, and this same philosophy should be remembered when building up your casual collection. So where should you start? Whilst there are many to choose from, we suggest kicking things off with a polo top, chinos and white shirt. Timeless, versatile and effortlessly dapper, these menswear must-haves will ensure you look your best with minimal effort.
Think Versatility
With a new season upon us, now is as good a time as any to revise your casual offerings; but before you go on a crazy shopping spree, do a little pre-planning. As touched on above, garments that offer versatility are vital to creating a line-up you can be proud of. By investing in pieces that are wearable with multiple outfits, you will not only give yourself more options, but you can save some serious money along the way. When making your purchases, consider essentials (instead of trend-led designs) such as a crisp white shirt, navy trousers, tan shoes and a grey roll neck.
Get the Right Fit
No matter how great that jumper looked on the mannequin in your favourite store, if it doesn’t fit you right, you’ll never look good. But how do you achieve the perfect fit? The key is to dress for the body you have now, not the one you had or want to have. Garments should be fitted, not too tight or baggy; and above all else, make sure you’re comfortable.
Layer Up
Simple yet effective, adding more layers to your outfit can make it instantly more appealing. Not only that, once the temperature falls, you can keep warm without letting your style standards drop. When putting your look together, there are two main rules of layering to remember. The first, is the further away from your body, the thicker the layer. For example: T-shirt, shirt then jumper. Secondly, be sure not to mix the wrong colors or patterns – choose pieces that complement each other not clash.
Don’t Forget Footwear
They say you can tell a lot about a man from his shoes, so ensure you make the right impression with some fancy footwear. Whilst trainers would be the most obvious choice (we have a rather dashing pair), another stylish option would be a pair of classic Chelsea boots. Smart yet not overly dressy, they will look great teamed with a crew neck jumper, button-down shirt and chinos.
