It’s nice to dress casually since you get to ditch suits and shirts for something more comfortable. However, many people confuse casual style with simply wearing the first thing you find in your wardrobe. This isn’t the case. Though casual wear is more relaxed than formal wear, there are still rules you should follow to avoid looking like a hot mess. From finding the right accessories to ignoring fashion trends, here are some tips on how to dress casually and look sharp.

  1. Get The Right Fit

The golden rule for any type of style is to wear the right fit but it’s often overlooked especially among men. Your clothes should fit you well in order to look good. They shouldn’t be too tight or too baggy as this tends to look unflattering. When you go clothes shopping, ensure you pick the right fit. Try them on to confirm that they fit you well and compliment your silhouette.

  1. Curate Your Colours

You’re allowed to wear a variety of colours when you dress casually. However, the colours you choose should complement your skin tone. People with warm complexions tend to look better in warm tones such as brown, gold, and yellow. On the other hand, people with cool complexions look better in cool tones such as blue, white, and grey. 7 Fashionable Colours You Should Add To Your Wardrobe

  1. Wear The Right Accessories

Accessories that work for your formal outfits might not always work for your casual outfits. Therefore, you need to have accessories for casual wear as well. It could be something as simple as a decorative belt or a statement piece like a chunky gold necklace. Ensure that you note which accessories match your casual style and invest in them. 7 Accessories Every Woman Should Have In Her Wardrobe

  1. Find A Uniform

Finding a style that’s effortless for you makes it easier to pull it off. However, it’s not always easy to find your style, especially with casual dressing since there are so many options. If you look better in dresses rather than jeans, stick to them. Additionally, consider what outfits make you look more grown-up and add them to your wardrobe.

  1. Consider The Occasion

Whether you’re attending a wedding, hanging out with friends, or running errands in town, the occasion should dictate your style choice. For instance, you shouldn’t wear sandals to a wedding but it’s perfectly fine to wear them for brunch with friends. Try to pay attention to your environment in order to dress casually and look chic.

Classic fabrics give you a timeless look and will last you for years to come. Additionally, they give a classy vibe so even when you dress casually, you will still look sharp. Go for fabrics such as cotton, silk, and linen which are both common and affordable to get. However, you can also invest in a few luxury fabrics such as leather and cashmere which will instantly elevate your look. 6 Timeless Basic Fashion Ideas To Implement After Looking At Old Photos

  1. Stick To Plain T-Shirts

Yes, graphic tees look more edgy and cool but if you want to dress casually and look sharp, you will have to limit how many times you wear them. Instead, you can add more plain t-shirts to your collection. Plain t-shirts look more mature than graphic t-shirts and they go well with almost anything. However, if you have to wear graphic t-shirts, avoid ones with vulgar images or words. Here are 10 Ways To Style Your Plain White T-Shirt
