How To Elevate Your Smart Casual Wardrobe | Ben’s Smart Casual Style Guide

For our first episode in the new Huckberry Gear Lab, we're talking smart casual. Is your office 'fit feeling stale? Ours too. Ben is hitting the reset button on "business casual" and refreshing his wardrobe. Here at Huckberry, we like to call it Smart Casual, and it's a thoughtful collection of wardrobe staples that'll help you master back-to-office style and ambiguous wedding dress codes with ease. From unstructured blazers that work like Wall Street but lounge Riviera-style, to footwear that would make both Steve McQueen and Don Draper proud, you have every excuse not to settle for stuffy.

Would love to see some Tall (not Big) sizes for people with longer arms and torsos (like me) at Huckberry!

[brianwhitelaw]

Love your videos! Your hand gestures might be a little distracting at times

[drakeblessum]

love the first three suggestions. When I was in France I liked the canvas flex/blazer so much that I bought it in two colors and wear them on every single Euro trip.

[covekyes]

i cant focus on anything but his wavy hands

[tnan]

Great foundational items. Would love more colors for the architect button down.

[auduffer]

It's very weird to see Ben without a hat on 😂

[gustavoserrano]

Great video, Ben always does such a good job! Man, I want everything!!!!

[BeastMadeReviews]

Love it! Great selection of Smart Casual stuff!

[communitykyle]

Love the brand and have slowly been building pieces since ordering Broken Homme boots on Huckberry many years ago. Would love to see more recs or examples for the “slightly Husky;)” demo still in the dad bod phase who love the look but have to size up to make it work. Love all the content.

Might be unnecessary but as a local Austinite I would love a Huckberry retail space

[johnpannebaker]

Can't say enough good things about the Doneghal Architect shirt. I'd love to add the Flyweight Blazer, but money.

[davidjohnmead]

Looking forward to trying the relaxed fit 365 pant 🙂

[akhaiiro]

Really cool video, I like how there's a few different fashion backgrounds taken into consideration. I'd love to see something with a more outdoorsy influence also. Side note, maybe I'm misinformed on the clothes origin (maybe it's different than the physical location) of the Donegal, but in Ireland we pronounce that place as 'dun-e-gahl'. Either way, love the tips, I'll be taking some notes for sure

I have to use a 1 inch lift insole in one shoe due to Leg Lenght Discrepancy, hence, loafers are out the question for me, my heel will always slip out.
What would be a good alternative to a Loafer? A Monkstrap? A casual leather derby? I was thinking on Nubuck Derbies.

Ben claps his hands and turns into a strait-up MODEL. That’s a super power I’d like to have!

[JanMalachovicky]

May I ask what is name of jacket which you actually wear? :) Thank you very much.

[wanderingwalnut]

Really liking that Relwen blazer but I am a bit on the shorter size sitting around 5’7, how’s the overall length on the jacket?

[izkosu]

Hey Ben, what color is the tan Flyweight blazer that you are wearing? British Khaki or Light Sand?

[juanbravo]

@Huckberryco what color are the All-American jeans in this video, Dark Wash or Dark (Vintage Overdye)

[deannoble]

First time here and really enjoyed the content and your presentation.
Some great choices I especially liked the jackets
As is often said smart casual can be tricky to get right. Some great advice and tips here in that regard.
