- CASUAL CHIC STYLE -

Temperate Season

The "Casual Chic" style is an art form in itself. It consists of mixing elegant pieces with casual clothing to create an outfit that is both refined and relaxed. There are two possible levels of this mix: the first, where the casual element takes precedence over the "formal," is Casual Chic; and the second, called Smart Casual (the latter being less formal than a suit and tie or a tailored suit, of course).

This style offers versatility that works equally well in the office (if the dress code allows) and for nights out. The key to a successful casual chic look lies in a clear contrast between dressy and casual elements, avoiding the trap of being neither truly chic nor truly casual.

For example, you can pair jeans with a nice designer shirt or with a thin blouse and a leather jacket. Another example would be to pair beige chinos with a linen mandarin-collar shirt.
