Casual Wear: For Real Men

Fitted denim blazer, blue button-down shirt, aviators - a well-fitted blazer can make almost any outfit look polished.

Plain black polo, pants rolled up, statement slip-on shoes...how easy is that?!
Mix casual, well-fitted cargos with a button-down shirt and cool accessories (sunglasses, belt & watch).
Another perfect example of comfy-chic; fitted blazer, deck shoes, flat-front shorts and a fun tee.

Boys, now that we've gone over a few examples, you may now go to your closet and throw out anything that has holes/tears/stains (including socks), does not fit properly, pants with pleats, worn out shoes, cheap polyester and 50% of all your old graphic tees.


And go purchase:
1 well-fitted casual blazer  (could be denim, courdroy, linen, cotton...)
3 plain, solid-coloured tees (in any colour - but at least one black) 
1 pair of fitted shorts (not so casual that you can paint in them) 
1 well-fitted cardigan or sweater  
1 pair of fitted jeans (key word, fitted)
1 pair of comfy, walking shoes (ie. deck shoes, loafers, nice tennis/court shoes...)
1 pack of white socks, 1 pack of black dress-socks
& sunglasses, watch and belts are always a necessity
