Does the term "Smart Casual" send you into a cold sweat? You aren’t alone. This week, stylist Hayley Cooper joins Leigh to demystify the world’s most confusing dress code. We’re talking about the "Goldilocks" of work bags (no daggy backpacks here!), why your favorite knitwear is pilling, and the exact length to hem your pants so you never ruin a hemline again. Plus, Hayley has scoured the shops to bring us the three pairs of loafers she’s currently obsessed with for every budget.
