Men’s AW Smart-Casual: 7 Easy Formulas

The idea

You want outfits that work from desk to pub without a full change. Keep the shapes clean, the colours simple, and repeat what works. Zizella rounds up pieces that mix and match without fuss.

7 formulas that actually land

1. Blazer + jumper + tapered trousers + clean trainers
   Polished for 9–5, still relaxed at 7.

2. Long coat + hoodie + straight trousers + trainers
   Beat the drizzle, look put-together.

3. Overshirt + tee + chinos + trainers
   Buttoned for meetings, open for brunch.

4. Knit polo + tailored trousers + loafers
   Smart, no tie needed.

5. Gilet + sweatshirt + cargos + runners
   Easy weekends, hands-free pockets.

6. Shacket + roll-neck + dark trousers + boots
   Neat up top, grounded below.

7. Statement jacket + tee + relaxed trousers + cup-sole trainers
   Quiet base, one hero layer.

Colour & fit quick rules

• Stick to charcoal / navy / stone / black. Add one accent max.

• Balance: if the top is relaxed, keep the trousers neater (or the other way round).

• Trainers for range, boots for weather, loafers to sharpen.

Where to wear

• Client catch-ups: 1 or 4

• Casual Friday: 2 or 3

• City weekends: 5 or 7

• Dinner: 1 or 6

From Zizella: Start with two jackets (one tailored, one casual), two versatile trousers, and two everyday tops. That’s a month of looks without thinking.
