RULES TO BE BROKEN
Breaking fashion rules have always resulted in something unique and fun. Casual fashion is all about the concept of being relaxed and free. What does that mean in reference to men’s clothing? Let’s explore some advents of casual style, starting with the streets. Quality jeans are a great foundation to casual style. Streetwear, dapper, and preppy looks vibe fully with this. There’s a denim style for all taste levels. Let’s keep it limited to three for now: light washed, dark, and gradient denim. These styles should either be paired with a creative rich button-down shirt or a flashy Tee. This level of casual is best suited for date nights or outdoor events that will be regular for the upcoming season. Neutral colored track pants are a cool alternative to denim. Paired with the right polo tee, and footwear; one can really take their look to the next level. The key is in the silhouette. Casual does not mean frumpy. Clothing with a nice fit, cool textiles and interesting details will always win. The formality can also make a big difference in casual style. Ones atmosphere also determines how casually dressed an individual is.
TIME AND PLACE CASUAL FASHION
Again we endeavor to break the rules; now certain casual styles are accepted on many formal occasions. Work is a perfect example of this. Business casual is now the norm. When more people worked together in an office environment, casual days allowed men to embrace comfort in work wear. Sateen pants are a smart casual way to be professional yet comfortable. A no-tuck shirt is recommended with sateen pants, since tucking a shirt in is common for formal wear. What better way to break the rules than to play with textiles? That’s smart and casual. It’s becoming more of the go-to trend for the new norm of fashion. Fabric is key and should be the first thing to consider in reference to casual wear. For everyday wear, sweats use to be the go-to for men on the go, running errands, and taking care of other day to day priorities. Sweatsuits allow mobility and tend to last for a long time. A quarter zip sweater is sleeker, and with the right pair of terry shorts; your comfortable look will be modern and practical.
