#1. ACCESSORISE

Hats, sunglasses, scarves, belts and hair accessories do make a huge difference and are something you should focus on in case you’re interested in adopting this fun, yet hassle-free style! Accessorize a relatively basic outfit and watch it transform from “standard” into something stylish. Casual chic style is always on trend, remember that!

#2. SAY “YES” TO FLATS

Dressing casual chic doesn’t mean that you have to give up heels although I must admit flats do fit in perfectly and are a great way to give those legs a break.

#3. BLING IT UP A NOTCH

Ah, the power of jewellery! Now I don’t need to tell you that every outfit looks best when accessorized with appropriate jewellery do I? Well, this particular style is based on relatively simple main pieces so you should definitely experiment with different statement pieces all depending on how “dressy” you want your look to be!

#4. INVEST IN NEUTRALS

Having basic pieces that can be mixed & matched, accessorized and layered is a key tip for pulling off casual chic style. A white tee dress, cross body bag, soft sand-coloured sweater, pair of trousers that can be worn with just anything… you know what I mean. Carefully chosen basics are your strongest weapon because you’ll be able to combine them in many ways, adding glam, boho, rock details to personalize and spice them up.

#5. TO A TEE

Speaking about dressing casual chic, how often do you wear tees? Well, get ready to fall in love with them completely! These relatively inexpensive pieces of wardrobe can be worn with chinos, jeans, leggings, cute cardigans or stylish blazers, allowing you to pull of many different looks yet feel comfy.

 #6. INCORPORATE POPULAR TRENDS

Incorporating popular trends such as colour block, pastel, scarf prints into your style is easy and once you start layering and accessorizing your basics you’ll even notice that it’s budget-friendly as well. Your basics will transform as soon as you add a new trend piece allowing you to have fun and express your inner fashionista by keeping up with every trend you like.

 #7. LAYER IT

And my final tip on casual chic style would be to layer and create outfits instead of just focusing on individual pieces. Blazer or Mac, ballet pumps and a chic bag, complete your look with a headband or neck scarf or a hat and you’ll get an outfit that’s laid back yet perfectly put together!

Do you have any interesting tips on dressing casual chic to share? How often do you opt for casual chic style anyway and how do you like to layer your garments?

The shirt, possibly one of the most versatile items of clothing available and an essential component of any self-respecting man’s wardrobe. Whether it be for work, a weekend away, or a night out, a quality piece of shirting lends itself perfectly to every occasion imaginable, we at the house believe a classic shirt should last years, over coming the fashion fads and trends.

With the Spring time weather approaching us, we thought this was the ideal time to show some of the best shirts from what we believe to be the World’s best brands. Paul Smith, Boss, Armani Jeans and Polo Ralph Lauren always come up with the goods in regards to shirting.

Ranging from bold prints, classic checks and traditional silhouettes, our selection of SS12 shirts has been picked to provide the backbone to any outfit. Eton Shirts are especially strong this season with their quirky take on office wear.
