Q&A for How to Dress Smart Casual (Females)

Many department stores offer a variety of clothing options that can create smart casual outfits. Fashion stores can also have pieces that can create a smart casual outfit, but you will have to use your best judgement. Store employee can always help you shop for specific styles.

White converse and loafers without patterns are good, whatever is clean, comfortable and fits your style is fine.

Yes.

Yes, that is a casual outfit.

If you mean long sleeves, the sleeve length doesn't really make a difference. Long sleeves are fine; other lengths are also fine.

Yes, a long dress would look very nice.

Wear a black or navy skirt or smart trousers and a plain white or light colored blouse or shirt with a collar and low heeled shoes (no sneakers).

Looks fine either way, and is a question of personal choice, really. Even a few light tones of blusher, lipstick, or gloss add subtle interest and can blend in well with your casual look. Either way, like a belt or necklace accessory, you can use it or lose it. But it works well with casual clothes in strong or light applications and shows a bit of effort. Mix and match your eye shadow with outfit tones, and continue wearing dark liners if you wish.

You can wear anything you want, but that choice would not be considered smart casual because of the ripped jeans. A chemise without a sweater or jacket is also too lingerie-like for smart casual.

Not usually, but it depends on the boot. A fashionable, dressier boot may work.

No; leggings are too casual. Wear a good-quality pair of hose to the interview.

Yes, I would say that outfit is the definition of smart casual.

As long as the jeans are of good quality, a professional style and cut, and the t-shirt is high quality and neat, then yes, this would be a suitable combination for smart casual.
