What is upscale casual attire?

Upscale casual attire is a combination of semi-formal and casual, everyday wear. The look is often used for nice dinners and other events.

Appropriate upscale casual outfits for men include button up shirts with smart jeans or polo shirts with dark slacks.

For women, upscale casual allows for many outfit possibilities including dark jeans paired with a shimmery blouse, high heels and gold jewelry. Other options include a semi-formal dress paired with a denim jacket.

When dressing upscale casual, the rule is to pair a casual piece of clothing with something more classy and then add elegant jewelry, shoes and other accessories.
