User Post: Quick Style Guide: Mens Casual stepped up!
A few days a go I had a twitter follower ask for a few tips on how to dress up a casual wardrobe. Pretty easy right? Well this follower happens to be male! Men's fashion is an area that I usually don't do, but let's try it out.
Just to be clear, I judge Men's fashion on if my boyfriend would wear it or not. I love some of the runway looks, admire them, and then think "he would never wear that" So these tips come as if my boyfriend asked me.
Quick Tips for dressing up a Causal Wardrobe
Throw on a big metal watch!
Never underestimate the power of a watch. The bigger the better. I have a friend who is a t-shirt, jeans, boots wearing guy (its Texas, they all wear boots). But when he puts on a gold watch, I always find myself commenting on h
ow good it looks. It instantly adds a sleek "man-with-things-to-do, must- have-watch-to keep-track" vibe.
Try a darker wash jean!
Darker denim is just sleeker. That's just the fact. Women can get away with dressing up darker jeans for a more put together look. It works the same way for men. A darker wash of denim will seem more formal.
Try a different pair of shoes!
Always wear tennis shoes with your button down shirts? That instantly makes an "outfit" more casual. Trade for a nice pair of loafers or slip on shoes. Another way to instantly add a touch of dress, wear the same color shoes and belt. Makes you looks incredibly well put together, thus dressier.
Go graphic, but not logo!
Take your t-shirt to a new level. Try a graphic print. AVOID logo tees, phrases tees, and certain brands. (These are the brands I recommend avoiding and why….you however are allowed to make your own decisions. -Ed Hardy, Christian Audiger, Affliction, Tapout) These brands sometimes make the wearer look like a wannabe UFC fighter or just a plain d-bag.
There ya go! How to dress up a causal wardrobe-Men's edition! Maybe I'll try Men tips more often…..
