Smart Casual
Style
Business, office, strict style first appeared in the men's wardrobe. The appearance in the modern sense dates back to 1789. Then the business outfit was a three-piece suit, and traditionally black. Of course, women could only dream of trousers then and their traditional "business" outfit was tight corsets and uncomfortable dresses. 
Women began to master the elements of men's wardrobe, namely trousers, at the end of the 19th century. Naturally, the public for the most part did not understand such fashion and wearing pants for a woman was a risky, dangerous business.
Those who did not dare to such experiments quickly mastered bloomers - skirt trousers, which allowed you to follow all the rules of the dress code, but at the same time not to get confused in skirts and generally feel quite comfortable. After the First World War, when women demonstrated incredible fortitude – flying airplanes, cleaning the streets, working at fire stations, the public was forced to admit that a woman deserves the same right to choose clothes as a man.
Now women could wear trousers, jackets and business style became available to everyone. 
Since 1930, the business style has changed - different styles, colors and prints were in fashion, but the very essence of strict clothing did not undergo serious changes.
Business style, unlike many others, does not tolerate compromises - therefore, "strict" is always synonymous with "business". The basic principles that must be observed when choosing clothes for a business wardrobe:
Formal or strict business style is the very classic that arises in the head at the mention of the dress code. It does not give a hint of femininity and sexuality, does not allow tight-fitting trousers, does not accept short sleeves, and tights are mandatory even in summer.
In modern society, such strict rules for the wardrobe of employees are rarely put forward, but sometimes you can still find such an outfit in bank employees or in the offices of politicians. 
Casual business or office style is a business casual. Business casual is a substyle of casual style, based on the creation of simple, comfortable everyday images. Business casual is much more democratic than formal. Images in the style of business-casual are less demanding - they allow the use of different fabrics, light shoes, different cuts of trousers - sometimes even jeans.
Of course, it was possible to single out the everyday business as an independent substyle, not connected with casual, but this does not make sense, since business-casual perfectly reflects the adaptation of style to everyday life. 
The informal business style in many large companies is called the "Friday style". This is due to the fact that in the conditions of a rigid dress code on Fridays, employees are allowed to slightly compromise the rules of the enterprise and come to work without a jacket - only in a shirt or blouse, add bright jewelry or let their hair down. 
The business style is reflected in the sports style of clothing. Sports business style, as a kind of sport-style, is the most relaxed option for compiling an official wardrobe. Shirts here are replaced by T-shirts and T-shirts, trousers with jeans, shoes - with white sneakers or sneakers.
Almost all manufacturers have business lines and generally single things for the office, with the exception of highly specialized ones. You can choose a stylish set of clothes for the office or important negotiations from at least 5 well-known brands. With all the sophistication of things, they successfully fit into the requirements of the dress code. The assortment includes skirt and trouser suits, shirts, dresses.

The choice, of course, is less than that of Charuel - after all, Armani covers several stylistic directions at once, but the presented business outfits will definitely appeal if you like strict, restrained clothes. Shirts, tops, blouses, suits, as well as classic shoes – all in one place.

It is very difficult to assemble a classic business wardrobe and not turn it into a business casual - modern clothing manufacturers are increasingly moving away from the rules of the traditional dress code and giving "indulgences" and assembling a "classic" seems just an unrealistic task.
For a formal and business wardrobe you will need:
You can buy a pantsuit, a suitable skirt, a dress and several models of blouses and combine them with each other to feel different every day, but follow all the rules of formal business style. Shoes are classic with heels of any length, but not a thin stiletto. Also make sure that the chosen model is matte and does not contain excessive fittings. Some organizations ban lacquered shoes. 
The bag is a classic leather of a simple style. The bag should not have excess accessories - rivets, belts, drawings. 
For everyday wardrobe business-casual are suitable:
A freer choice in shoes - here you can already wear lacquered boats even on a thin, but medium-height heel, loafers, boots, ballet flats.
The hairstyle should be neat, without unnecessary curls, accessories in the form of elastic bands or hairpins. The traditional option is hair gathered in a bun on the back of the head. It is desirable to smooth the hair on the top of the head so that the strands do not get knocked out. 
Makeup is calm, natural. At the same time, it is also better not to wear a strict suit without makeup - it will emphasize all the imperfections of the skin, complexion, wrinkles. Pay attention to nude makeup with natural shades. Lips can be covered with glitter without sparkles or calm lipstick. 
Pay attention to the manicure - no bright colors and ultra-long nails. Like the whole image, the nail design is calm, the length is moderate. Color – nude, pastel, muted.
For men, like women, it is important to adhere to the rules - strictness, calmness, lack of accents to attract attention. The main task of the men's costume is to give its owner solidity, professionalism.
Basic men's formal wardrobe includes:
Shoes are classic shoes with a rounded nose on a lace of black or dark brown color. Accessories – watches, the previously mentioned tie, cufflinks. 
The hairstyle should correspond to the image, so no bold and extravagant haircuts are allowed. For a business man, the ideal option would be a Canadian, boxing or semi-box.
