The smart casual (and work-friendly) spring fashion trends
By Penny McCarthy
Nine-to-five is back, but with a fashion edge. Think sharp tailoring with bold accessories – and don’t be afraid to show your stripes with your spots.
SEVENTIES SILHOUETTE
Shift Saturday night fever to Monday morning by choosing flared silhouettes that take the stuffiness out of masculine tailoring.

SHORT SUIT
Shorts mean business. Keep your professional cool with fabrics fit for the boardroom, not the beach.

WALL STREET STRIPES
