I really like the range of menswear from Claudio Lugli in terms of casual smart style. Unfortunately we do not have an outlet in or near our town so means online or wait for one of their event sales pop up.
Any suggestions for alternatives to Claudio Lugli. Thanks

Can't remember the last time I bought casual clothes other than shoes anywhere but M & S. Looking at Claudio's website that isn't going to change.

Blimey. Some of those shirts are a bit of an acquired taste.

This one reminds me a bit of those 'lone wolf' fleeces that are popular with middle age caravan types.

Surely your local menswear shop will have something suitable?
We have Gabucci and Gaff in Bath, though I'm sure there are many others too.
I never buy from them online, but see Ali has the label you're looking for.

But could you get a jacket this stylish in M&S?

We do have a couple of individual outlets that sell menswear, but not to my taste unfortunately I will have a look at the links, thanks.

Their websites are rubbish. hehe
The shops themselves however are very good. The unusual/unique and bespoke mixed with the more mainstream styles.

Maybe more fashion forward than you want (though there is some, ahem, bold outfits on the link you provided) but Ted Baker does a decent line of smart casual clothing with quirky touches. Their outlet is quite good value:

I quite like a dodgy shirt.
Gresham Blake in Brighton is worth a look!

One of my favourite smart/casual shirts is Profuomo, but their current range isn't very inspiring: click. Stocked by Gabucci in Bath.
I have several of theirs which are up to ten years old now, but still excellent.

On a serious note I would recommend CANALI for smart casual with a bit of Italian flair. Not quite as out there as your guys but I bought a casual suit from them a couple of years ago and it still looks good. Shirts are very nice.

As they are my current client (and I am a satisfied customer), I must recommend

Charles Tyrwhitt

Great quality and reasonable prices at the traditional end of the market.
