At number 2 it's every one's favourite nanny shagger - Jude Law.
If you want the definition of smart casual its Mr Law. This guy was born in a white shirt and smart blazer. If you ever have a smart event to go to look no further than this man for inspiration. He also shows that you don't always have to wear a tie with a suit and shirt, the great option he tends to go for is a silk scarf, be it in plain white or in black with white polka dots.
The blazer is something that you MUST, i repeat MUST integrate into your wardrobe. Plain black is a must have, then from their I leave pattern, colour and material down to your personality. The only things I advise are that a two button option or possible a one button (as proved popular last year) are always the most wearable. Double breasted and three button types tend to work best on some physiques but not all. Another handy tip to look out for concerns the cuff. Go for four button cuffs as it shows that the fashion house weren't being skimpy when they made it and also check that the cuff actually "works". By this I mean that the buttons are not simply their for show, they should actually "function". This is a good sign of quality.
If you want that sophisticated bachelor look then go no further than seeing a copy of Jude's remake of Alfie. In this his style is a perfect example of how to blend suits and smart blazers into a more "street friendly" look by simply adding scarves and smart jeans.
