The 6 Rules Of Casual Dress
Pay Attention To Fit
As with tailoring, fit can make all the difference with casual attire. The difference is, you don’t always have to look tailored. How should your clothing fit? This really depends on the look you’re going for and your body type.
Traditionalists will say that a slim-but-not-restricting fit should be the ideal to aim for, but there’s been a shift towards looser styles in reason seasons, with boxy shirts, and outerwear, and wide-legged trousers proving popular amongst designers and fashion-forward consumers. That said, there’s still an argument for slimmer fitting clothing that flatters the wearer’s body shape.
The point is, fit is one of the most important aspects when it comes to clothing and it should be considered above all else.
Know What You’re Comfortable In
There’s no use investing in hoards of the latest streetwear if you don’t feel comfortable wearing it. Wear what feels right to you, because if you feel self-conscious then this will show and it won’t matter how many hundreds you’ve dropped.
Keep It Simple
Minimal style is not necessarily en vogue right now; rather, loud logos and oversized statement pieces are where it’s at… for some. But simple, pared-back clothing will never not be cool, so swerve the masses and combine easy, straightforward garments together for an effortless take on casual style. Turn to A.P.C., AMI, and Whistles for inspiration, or look to high street brands such as COS and Arket for well made takes on unfussy clothing.
Details Are Key
Take a denim jean and T-shirt combination; it’s arguably the archetypal casual ensemble, yet it still can be worn in numerous ways. Tuck, half-tuck or untuck the T-shirt? Roll the sleeves or leave them be? Pinroll the jeans or have them tailored? Slim or relaxed cut jeans? These are all subtle tweaks and variations, yet they make a fairly substantial difference.
Find A Uniform
Many people find the idea of a ‘uniform’ stifling and restrictive, but for others it’s an exercise in simplification and reduction. Find a way of dressing that’s easy and effortless, not dissimilar from wearing a suit in the sense you can get up, throw it on and head out the door. You’ll find yourself saving time during your morning routine that you can spend on coffee, or sitting on the edge of your bed pondering the big questions. Or looking at memes.
A casual uniform can be found in style – a rotation of navy trousers, white Oxford shirts and white sneakers perhaps, or colour; a preference for black could mean that black jeans and a leather jacket becomes a uniform for you. Google ‘Jeff Goldblum leather jacket’ to see what we’re talking about.
Nod To Trends But Don’t Be Dominated By Them
Casual style is dominated by trends, from high street to high end. Whilst this is all well and good, the very nature of trends ensures they will fall out of favour soon enough. So, if you want to future-proof your wardrobe, it’s preferable to only dabble in trends and instead spend big on pieces that will last – a solid bomber jacket, rather than the aforementioned Vetements DHL T-shirt, for example.
A good rule of thumb is to utilise just one ‘trend’ item per outfit – a logo baseball cap, perhaps – and keep the rest classic.
