This is a neat, pressed look, with predominantly untailored design elements that are combined, and strengthened, with some tailored elements. It is the mix of design elements from different levels that creates the casual message in this category.

• Layering: A crew or V-neck sweater may be worn over a collared shirt.
• A dress or knit shirt with dress-cut pants may be worn with a sport coat or other outerwear jacket.
• Shirt colors may range from light through dark and include subtle patterns.
• No sport coat is needed at this level.  A shirt with or without a sweater is all that is needed…with a neatly pressed pair of pants, of course.
