Gentlemen, today I want to get more into detail and elaborate further on the importance of upgrading your casual style to look more stylish.
Firstly, I am going to explain five simple ways on how to upgrade your casual style and look your vey best.
1) The right type of shirts
It is key that men understand the different types of shirts available whether in stores and more especially when purchasing online so that they make the right purchase and not waste their money. There are 3 shirts that men can wear casually.
a) The button down shirt
This is a shirt that has on the collar two buttons both on the left and the right hand side of the Shirt. These shirts usually have a soft feel when touching them , meaning the fabric is not a hundred percent cotton like a dress shirt. Most of these button down shirts have patterns and bold stripes, sometimes circle stripes or square stripes depending on the different type of stores.
Wear the button down shirt with jeans:
The button down can be worn with also chinos, Loafers , boots , sneakers and can be also layered with bomber jackets and denim jackets and Leather jacket.
b) linen Shirts
Linen Shirts according to research are those that are woven, meaning the fabric is natural and sustainable. These shirts are breathable and are perfect for summer and in Casual wear.
c) The Henley Shirt
Henley shirts are shirts that you wear when you are tied of wearing t-shirts. What’s so special about this is that these add a bit of detail and they date back to the 1880’s , men worn these shirts especially rowers but hey that’s not my focus, I’m explaining about men style.
2) The right type of jacket
A great jacket can be a great investment in your casual style during the cold weather especially. I will cover 2 types of jackets .
Leather Jackets
These work in both formal and Casual situations but they look best in Casual wear. I recommend men get dark leather jacket because they are Classy since the color black is Classic piece. Pair them with jeans and boots for an ultimate casual style
Denim Jacket
Denim jacket are vey casual and a good layering piece, you can wear them with turtlenecks, button downs, t-shirts, floral shirts and dress shirts. For this jacket, the trick is to wear an odd trouser and not go for a denim on denim look.
3) The right type of Bag
A good bag can make your outfit outstanding but the wrong one will make it sloppy. Get a leather bag Gentlemen, that’s elegant and classy.
4) The right type of trousers and shoes
Go for trousers that are well fitting, solid colors and avoid those with huge logos and many graphics . The best option is to buy Chinos and commuter Pants.
The right shoes Gents
Gents shoes are a great investment a Man can have. People like at your shoes before they can look at your outfit, so wear shoes that will compliment the Outfit.
5) The right type of accessories
Lastly, accessories are another Style trick to upgrade your casual wardrobe. Go for what suits you, it can be a necklace like the picture above, a bracelet, watch and rings.
