Esquire magazine for men says that there are new laws in casual dressing that men should know about before they assemble their outfit. Here are a few of them:
Shirt
When in doubt, always wear an oxford shirt colored white. But its also good to mix shirts sometimes. Windowpane and Pinstripe shirts are good too.
Fitted shirts are good, snug ones are alright, but shirts fitted tightly are simply wrong.
You can improve your appearance by tucking in your shirt and by standing up straight.
Remember to always tuck in polo and dress shirts hanging below your hip. Dont ever tuck in turtlenecks and sweatshirts. Everything in between is negotiable.
The universal language in casual clothing is cotton. You can wear it anytime to fit in.
Only professional athletes can pull off the casual wearing of sports jerseys.
The most masculine thing that man can wear is a rugby shirt.
Denim
Denim is at the center of all things casual. However, some things naturally look better with it compared to others. Here are some examples:
oDenim looks good all the time with cashmere sweater, navy blue blazer, brown loafers, t shirt, or cotton button down.
oIt looks good most of the time with white sneakers, cotton turtleneck, tweed jacket, black loafers, and crewneck sweatshirt.
o Sometimes it may look good with sports jersey, high top sneakers, and hooded sweatshirt.
o It doesnt look good at all with necktie, flip plops, silk shirt, and waistcoat.
o It looks worse with opera cape, suspenders, and cufflinks.
Eastern Europe makes the best stone, acid, or other artificial washes. The best way for you to break in this kind of jeans is to wear it often.
A pair of jeans that cost $40 will fit you as well as the jeans that cost $200. It will just take you a little longer to find bargains such as these.
Never wear two denims or more at the same time, and also make sure that one of them is not a vest.
Shoes
The more pointy or shiny your shoes are, the less casual it gets.
Some of the best sneakers are inspired by athletes.
More Options
Men should always have more options when it comes to casual dressing. Here are some of them:
Daytime Barbecue
o Good polo shirt, khaki chinos, and brown loafers
o Better short sleeved rugby shirt, blue or red chinos, white canvas sneakers
o Never tank top, cargo shorts, flip flops
Summer Cocktail Party
o Good crisp oxford button down, cotton chinos, blue wool blazer
o Better rumpled oxford button down, linen trousers, seersucker blazer
o Never bright madras blazer, shorts or jeans
Bar Drinking
o Good button down shirt, light blue jeans
o Better long sleeved rugby shirt, dark blue jeans
o Never sports jersey, sweatpants
Holiday Party
o Good crewneck sweater, corduroy pants
o Better turtleneck, cardigan sweater, flannel trousers
o Never any holiday costume
Finally, there are pieces of clothing you can dress up such as white sneakers, blue jeans, khaki sports, and polo shirts. On the other hand, there are other items that are not appropriate to dress up these are flip flops, track pants, and sports jerseys.
