Getting dressed up for a formal occasion is not very difficult for most men. It is simply a matter of selecting pants, a shirt, and a tie – which most of us have a fair selection of in our closets. The catch is that most men spend very little time in formal settings. It is the informal functions, like spending time with friends at a bar, lunching with a business associate, or entertaining a casual date, that men have difficulty dressing for. Many men simply do not understand how to dress smart casual and how to successfully put together an outfit for the a low-key occasion.
