The rules regarding how to dress for work have changed significantly in recent years. Unless your dress code is particularly strict and you are required to wear impeccable formal suits, be inspired by our suggestions; because if you are among the lucky ones who can flaunt a casual Friday look every day of the week, remember that even sportswear, if you want a relaxed yet refined style, must have certain characteristics.

Denim shirt with a camp-collar
The button-down shirt has always been a favorite for those seeking a casual look. We suggest choosing denim because you can wear it in many ways, even in your leisure time, and it complements many items and colors. And for warmer days, how about replacing it with a trendy camp-collar style? Just remember to avoid tropical prints and opt for solid colors.

Checkered and chino pants
Yes to prints like tartan, plaid, and stripes, but not in oversized versions, making sure to balance the look. Colors should not be too bold, and the pants should have a tailored construction. Slim chinos are also perfect; opt for ones with cuffs.

Knit polo and crewneck pullover
Increasingly trendy for several seasons, the knit polo, long-sleeved for fall-winter and short for spring-summer, is now a must-have. If you’re unsure how to wear it, take cues from the many celebrities proudly sporting it, alone or under well-structured jackets. Alternatively, invest in a thin knit crewneck pullover made from quality yarns.

Trench coat and leather bomber
The choice of outerwear is crucial, regardless of your style. For a versatile and practical option, we suggest the classic trench coat for wind and rain, and a soft leather bomber, or alternatively suede, for sunny days.

Deconstructed blazers and knit blazers
Can you wear a tailored jacket and have a casual look? Absolutely. Choose a deconstructed blazer and opt for a “broken up” style. You can’t go wrong. Also in trend is the knit version, in cotton jersey or a cotton-linen blend. For an even more relaxed style.

Sneakers and sporty loafers
It’s no longer a novelty; sneakers with essential design and premium leather adapt to virtually any outfit. Countless celebrities wear them with elegant attire, and even classic made-in-Italy brands have added various models to their collections. Alternatively, opt for double-buckle models or loafers with high rubber soles.
