What is Casual?

Careless and free, casual is the most relaxed look of Mens fashion. Since it is not restricted to a certain type of clothing, there is a lot of room for experimentation. Throw in anything that you are comfortable with, go bold with colors and accessorize. Casual is your day to day look, this is where you can show more of your personality.

When to wear a casual attire?

A doctors appointment, running an errand, visiting a friend, attending your child’s baseball event – basically anywhere that you need to go that doesn’t require a dress code. Casual is your go-to style where you can showcase your personal style.

What to wear on a casual attire?

You can go as basic as dark wash jeans, clean and crisp white t-shirt and white sneakers. Add a little bit of attitude and replace your dark wash with high quality ripped jeans, keep the white shirt but layer it with a scarf or jacket depending on the weather. Comfort is the keyword for dressing casual, go for what makes you feel good. However, not all of your comfy clothes will pass as casual. It is not gym wear, beach wear or sleep wear. A good rule of thumb is – if you cant wear it to a dinner out with your friends or family, then it is probably not casual.

Casual Fabrics and Color Palette

Casual directly translates to a relaxed airy feeling so soft and light fabrics such as cotton, flannel and soft denim are all welcome. Colors that are soothing to the eyes – white, light blue, light yellow and light gray. Occasionally you can add a splash of bold color especially if you are attending a themed event.

Wether its casual, smart casual, business casual or formal, always make sure that your clothing fits you perfectly, not too tight and not too loose. You don’t want to splurge on the best tuxedo only to look like you were wearing your grandfather’s (because its too loose) or your younger brother’s (because its too tight) at the event. Most of all, the best tip on donning any attire is to always wear them with confidence. Stand tall and chin up, stand and stride with pride. Although these styles are supposed to give you a confidence boost, only your attitude and character will make you stand out from the crowd.
