helping and educating men to dress better ~ Mthobisi /Bloggers Magagula😎👔🎩👞👓👕

Men who love the smart casual dress code need to start looking into workwear vests that are stylish and proper for most business and casual events. Workwear vests are ideal for rocking a smart casual dress code that bridges the gap between formal wear and casual style. Smart casual can be described in many ways and the most obvious answer, it is that this is a style that offers comfort and elegance without looking too formal.

This blog post will list only 3 key reasons why men need to budget for vests that are incredible for rocking a smart casual style without looking overly dressed or too formal.

Men need to bring workwear shirts that are versatile with vests for casual and formal activities

Workwear shirts are dress shirts worn by men working in formal offices who attend formal events such as Conferences, Meetings or Weddings. Men who wear dress shirts are seen as very professional plus they are able to style such dress shirts with other pieces in their wardrobe for a style that is relaxed yet polished which is what it means to dress smart casually.

Dress shirts come in a variety of patterns, fabrics and textures. The ideal dress shirt men need to rock a workwear vest like a master, it is the long sleeve dress shirts that come in patterns such as windowpane and so forth. The fabric for dress shirts vary from linen to cotton and even polyester. The best fabric that will look great smart casually with other pieces in the outfit, it is the cotton and linen fabric on shirts.

Workwear vests are worn not just for the purpose of work building but for the purpose of getting the style right and come out looking like a stylish man in a sea of men wearing suits or jeans for example.

Casual dress shirts that can be worn with workwear vests (Examples below)

Rocking formal wear as a man wearing the workwear vests is possible as long as men decide to select the proper dress shirts that are versatile such that you can style the workwear vest casually with a button down shirt and formally with a white dress shirt and a tie.

Formal ways to wear workwear vests

Men need to invest in hoodies that match with workwear vests for cold weather style

Another great way to style workwear vests as a man, it is to invest your money into buying a hoodie that is perfect for looking stylish yet feeling warm and cosy during those cold weather days. Men need to gravitate towards the hoodie because it offers comfort, style, relaxation and it is versatile such that you can layer it with a cool workwear vest that adds a layer of warmth no matter what in the cold weather season.

Men need to wear quality boots that offer comfort plus warmth for those freezing days (especially for casual wear)

Boots are my favourite type of shoes and for good reason, they offer total comfort and warmth at the same time for most modern men. Boots come in many colors and types such as Combat boots, Chelsea boots and Suede or chukka boots. Men need to have an eye for detail by actually not rushing the process when it comes to purchasing quality boots.

Men need to go for boots that will last a lifetime and that usually involves going to menswear stores to get the right adjustment or size for your foot. The best boots according to my knowledge and experience with men’s style, it is the Chelsea boot or brown Combat boots that are ideal for smart casual. For instance, a workwear vest looks good with a long-sleeved sweater, jeans or chino pants and top of the range boots that creates a stylish and warm appearance.

By the way, boots are versatile in as much as they are casual by nature ~ Mthobisi Bloggers Magagula

    I always learn something about men’s fashion from you, Mthobisi. There can be many types of vests, like thick, thin, different colours and textures. Some maybe more versatile than others. I think if you have a few good, basic yet sharp dress shirts, perhaps it’s easier to mix and match vests. When layering my clothes, say my tops with jackets having similar colour palette helps. So maybe the same goes for men’s vests. Hope you are doing well, Mthobisi 😊
