If you have these 16 perfect casual items in your wardrobe, you can make 189 casual outfit combinations. I want to tell you what these are because I feel every guy needs these casual-style items.
Many men struggle with casual style, but when they get dressed for a wedding, they throw on a tailored suit and crush it. But when they go super casual, like going to the gym, meeting the boys for beers, going out to dinner, or kicking it on the weekends, they still need to look amazing.
First, here are the ground rules to remember. (1) Fit is king. It doesn’t matter how sweet the clothes are; if they don’t fit your body correctly, they won’t look as good. (2) Go solid. Don’t wear patterns. This includes your shirts, jackets, and so forth. Have your wardrobe to be as versatile as possible. (3) And last, invest in higher-quality fabrics. These will last longer and be worth the investment.
How to create fresh and sexy outfits EVERY TIME
- Minimal leather sneakers. These shoes are playful and will work with everything.
- Rugged suede chuckers or desert boots. These are the most stylish boots a guy can wear. The suede texture looks great and won’t jack up your jeans.
- Brown leather loafers. Do not go for black. Brown is a much better option, which you can also wear with your suit. Dress them down with denim, chinos, or even shorts in the summer.
- A high-quality white crew-neck t-shirt is the most versatile option. Make sure it does not have a pocket or pit stains. It needs to be clean and white. Look for a higher-quality cotton with a bit of polyester for stretch. It will drape better and look more high-end. A v-neck is not as versatile as the standard crew.
- Polo shirt. I recommend black and white, as these two colors are perfect. Collars and Co Polos will upgrade your casual game. The fabric doesn’t stretch out, and the collar is buttoned down. The placket is a bit longer as well. They fit amazingly! Use the code ALPHAM for a special limited-time discount!
- Long sleeve Merino wool polo. Pick one in navy blue because it’s the most versatile color and works with denim, chinos, and khakis. Another color is black, which is next-level for compliments.
- Button-down Oxford. A white button-down Oxford is a must-have whether you wear short or long sleeves. It can be paired with jeans or chinos. If you choose the long sleeves, you can roll up your sleeves in the warmer months.
- Three-button Henley. This is the perfect casual shirt—not as dressy as the other shirts on this list, but a bit more fun and playful.
- Bomber jackets are a staple for casual style and look amazing on every guy. They’re versatile jackets that can be thrown on with a T-shirt and jeans, chinos, or even shorts.
- Casual blazer or sport coat. With a casual style, you don’t want to wear a structured suit jacket with huge shoulder pads. This outerwear is a more versatile, simple, easy, and elegant. The fabric with the blazer I display is stretchy and does not wrinkle.
- Tan chinos. These are the most versatile because you can wear them with loafers, white minimal sneakers, suede Chukkas, and more. You could even go for olive or navy blue.
- Dark wash denim. Don’t have butt bling. Opt for simple pockets and a dark wash that does not have much fading or distressing. These jeans will be effortless to dress up in, but you can also make them a bit more casual. You can go to a mid-wash, but don’t go super light. These are great for warmer months.
- Black athleisure pants look more like chinos than joggers and work well for dressing down with sneakers. Wear them with loafers and an oxford. They also look amazing with a Henley or T-shirt. These are an excellent option for spring and summer months.
- Non-tech watch. Doesn’t matter what brand, make sure it’s not digital.
- Proper leather belt. The belt needs to match your leather shoes.
- Badass pair of shades.
