Why it works
Smart-casual office is the format everyone gets wrong by overshooting — you don't need the suit, you need the suit's confidence in separates. A waistcoat and a loafer do that, which is exactly why the oxford shirt stays a $40 Uniqlo piece at every tier; a crisp poplin reads the same buttoned under a vest whatever it cost. Spend on the trouser and the bag, keep the shirt cheap and pressed.
