StyleHub Daily : Casual Dress Code: Part 1

Casual dress means to style with comfort. It has to do with the clothes that fits you properly and can be donned to those everyday trips and occasions regardless of the price of the item.

Casual dressing is a mix of streetwear with fashion. When you’re away from your desk during the week, the clothing you put on for those informal activities is more than likely going to be casual. However, that doesn’t mean you have to lose all sense of style.

The way to go from looking like everyone else to looking sharp and stylish is to take those basic wardrobe pieces and swap a few of them out for pieces that are nicer, but aren’t necessarily any more formal. When everyone else is wearing jeans and T-shirts, you stand out by being the guy in something a little different.

In terms of the type of clothes you buy, investing in pieces that are casual, classic and versatile allows you to not only justify an extravagant price tag (as they will last you numerous seasons without ever going out of style) but also means that majority of the items in your wardrobe can be mixed and matched with minimal clashing.

Casual Wear for Men

So what exactly should you be adding to your wardrobe? These are the key items you should be investing in to achieve a perfect casual look:

A basic t-shirt may be an obvious choice, but it’s an item that will practically go with everything in your wardrobe. A casual cotton T-shirt in easy to wear shades of white, grey and black, will carry you throughout every season and can be layered beneath thicker knit jumpers, smart blazers, full-length coats and styled with any pair of trousers – the possibilities are endless!

A good pair of jeans should fit you well and be comfortable to wear. The type of denim is all down to personal preference but be sure to avoid styles that are overly ripped, frayed or feature any exuberant design details.

A slim-fit jean will suit most body types and can be co-ordinated with everything from a t-shirt, hoodie jacket to a tailored blazer. Jeans are an ideal alternative to the suit trouser to dress down your look for casual events.
