Women tend to think men have it easy when it comes to style. However, there are many options for men that can make it challenging. How do you look casual without looking sloppy? It takes effort for men to do their hair and accessorize their outfits, just like women. Here are some tips for a casual ensemble that will still look polished rather than like you just rolled out of bed.
Your Casual Style Guide
If you’re wondering how to style yourself casually, you might be tired of your wardrobe and looking for something new and fresh. Trends will come and go, but there are a few timeless pieces of advice that all men should have in their style guide.
Timeless Tips
Always use some sort of hair product in your hair. Experiment with hairstyles until you find one that works for you. Wash your face to reduce redness and eliminate dead cells that can make you look tired.
Pay attention to the way your clothes fit. Oversized clothing can make you look sloppy if you don’t style them correctly. Find your style by experimenting with different looks. Are you more of a designer shirt guy or do you prefer graphic tee’s that make a statement? Ensure that you are comfortable or it will show and hinder your appearance.
The Essentials
The essentials are staples every man should have in their closet. Some basics you want in your closet are versatile plain t-shirts, a few pairs of denim jeans that go with everything and a nice pair of sneakers that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion. It would help if you also had a couple of dress shoes or boots for formal occasions in your wardrobe.
A pair of khakis or trousers that aren’t blue jeans are wise to have as well. You’ll also need a lightweight jacket that can polish off your look. A denim jacket with a t-shirt can dress your look down, while a bomber jacket is still casual but looks more sophisticated.
The Accessories
Accessories can make or break your entire ensemble. If you’re going for business casual, subtle jewelry can dress up your look. A lightweight sweater with some jeans and a sports jacket is a whole vibe. Consider a subtle necklace with a watch to polish off the look.
Belts are great for making your pants fit, but they can also sophisticate your outfit. Take the most casual outfit and add a belt and a little jewelry with a nice jacket and you can change the entire vibe of your look. A tie can also liven up your look. Get a nice wallet that doesn’t embarrass you when you pull it out to pay for things. It can add to your look, much like a handbag for women does.
Casual Men’s Style Guide
Try to avoid buying into trends that are passing through. If you invest in staple items, your look will be timeless and you’ll be less likely to tire of your closet in a couple of months. Find what you’re comfortable in and invest in what works for you. If you feel confident in a dress suit and a pair of converse, go for it. Your style can be whatever you want it to be–as long as you own it.
