Best Casual Wear Tips For Men
Apt Colors
Before you start to stuff your wardrobe, get a hold of what colors suit you the best. Just because you think that a particular color is good, doesn’t mean that it suits you. Watch yourself dressed up in different colors. Ask your parents, friends, and yourself as to which colors suit you the best and build your wardrobe around these colors. However, try not to look like a multicolored monkey.
Perfect Fit
Buy clothes that fit your body like a snake curls onto a branch with ease. Don’t try to fit into something from which you can’t get out of, or which makes you look like you’re wearing a tent in the name of apparel!
Make Your Own Trends
Don’t behave like the mice that followed Pied Piper and ran themselves off the cliff. Rather, sing your own tune and make the Pied Pipers of fashion take notice of you. A trend is never out of place. Wearing what makes you look good and feel comfortable is the key.
Accessorize and Personalize
Add a zingy collection in the form of belts, scarves, shades, wrist watches, wrist bands, and the most prized possession of all - shoes. Try on different combinations of accessories with different clothes to see which one looks the classiest. Don’t go overboard with all that accessorizing and personalizing that you may end up looking sleazy or some punk rock star (unless you intend to).
Dress As Per Occasion
Dress according to the occasion with minor risks. A cap or sports shoes is a strong no-no for your office, unless you work for the tennis or football federation. Don’t go wearing t-shirts with logos or statements to your office. Instead, wear a formal shirt with a dark clean pair of jeans. Avoid low waist jeans and jeans that are too flashy or wrinkly as per design.
