This is my office outfit today (visited after six months). We are allowed to wear elevated casual dresses; so, this happens my default outfit. I have never put so much thought into smart casual outfits, but loving being on this learning curve. I am still WAY TO GO.
- Top wear: Polo (grey) in 100% U.S. imported supima cotton (wearing for the first time, although I did a trial earlier).
- Bottom wear: Formal trousers in blue made of wool/cotton/polyester blend.
- Shoes: Tan brown lace up shoes, Italian make (I don't remember the brand name).
- Watch: Titan with gold rim on silver, tan leather strap (this was gifted and has been a workhorse for me, beyond the sentimental value; you will see that it has a kind of worn out look).
- Belt: Dark brown (not tan, as I had thought earlier).
The colors of the watch, belt, and shoes do not match a great deal, but I can live with that because this is still in the casual zone.
Q1: Is there a name given to this type of shoes? You can see that the lower part above the sole starts to shade in black.
Q2: I am also undecided as to whether black belt and black shoes would be a better look with this combination because the pants are blue. What do you think?
