In the European
tradition, casual is
the dress code that emphasizes comfort and personal
expression over presentation, formality and conformity. More simply,
"casual" can be defined as something relaxed, occasional, not
planned, or informal. It includes a very wide variety of costume, so it is perhaps
better defined by what it is not than what it is.
·
Ceremonial dress such as
royal robes and full dress military costume
·
Formal wear such as white
tie.
·
Semi-formal such as black
tie.
·
Informal business
professional wear such as suits and ties.
Quick Fashion Tips
Fit is King – The most
dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits
impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you
wear is almost hugging
the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic.
Change the way
you see casual – casual doesn’t have to be
boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who
approach casual a bit differently.
Never
underestimate the power of details – The last
thing on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of
throwing together the main parts of your outfit. “Details” can include a scarf,
a subtle pocket square, or the way you tie your tie knot.
Disregard trends – Beware
of buying something just because it’s “in” right now – stick to what you truly
like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a
bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to learn to build a versatile and
timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new
fashion.
Experiment with
style – The only way you’ll really learn, is if you go
out there and try new things. I make an effort to try something completely out
of my comfort zone whenever I’m at a store – many times you’ll end up loving
something you never thought you would.
