What is casual style, its features in clothing for men

The beginning of the emergence of this fashion trend is considered to be the 70s of the last century. Fans of British football, which was at the peak of its popularity, sought to support the object of their passion not only by going to matches and singing chants and anthems. They developed their own style of clothing, which personified casual elegance.

In the 90s, famous designers began to create catwalk collections based on their images. So the clothing of football fans turned into an independent fashion trend.

Today, casual for men is a kind of symbiosis of classics and everyday life. From the first he adopted elegance, from the second - stylish negligence and convenience.

Let's figure out how this combination manifests itself in such characteristics of clothing as cut, color and materials.

Styles

In casual style there are no clear restrictions on clothing models. It’s easier to decide on cut options that definitely won’t be appropriate. These are strict suits that meet the requirements of the dress code, trousers with arrows, a clearly expressed military or sports theme (although individual elements of both may be present). A complete contrast to the casual concept will be ethnic wardrobe items and things characteristic of subcultures - the style does not accept any framework or stereotypes.

Colors and designs, materials

Casual is a calm style. Therefore, the images in it are designed in discreet colors - brightness, brilliance, and pretentiousness are inappropriate. However, your wardrobe shouldn’t be boring either. To do this, it is quite enough to dilute the outfit with an original detail of a rich shade.

The fabrics are comfortable and practical; as a rule, they are natural with a mixture of synthetics or mixed, of good quality. The most common casual-style materials include cotton, including denim, tweed, corduroy, knitwear, and suede. The most popular prints are checkered or small stripes. However, in general, there is no predominance of drawings on any specific topics.

Shoes and accessories

In accordance with the concept - moderation and elegance in everything - additional details of the image should be of a restrained but original design. Although sporting elements are permitted, the wearing of sneakers should be avoided. However, white models are still considered appropriate.The most successful shoes would be Chelsea boots, top-siders, loafers, moccasins, brogues, and deserts. No patent leather models - only leather, suede, allowedAndm textiles.

Reference. The range of casual shoe options is constantly expanding. Therefore, in order for it to become the correct and harmonious addition to the image in this particular style, you should pay attention to its color and design. For example, black shiny leather with a pointed toe is a formal option, while brown or lighter-toned suede with a rounded toe brings it closer to everyday wear.

Accessories include a classic or discreet semi-sports watch, a leather belt, sunglasses, and an interesting bag design. Scarves are appropriate. It is worth giving up massive chains, bracelets, and cufflinks.

Casual styles

The versatility of the style has led to the emergence of several varieties. This:

1. Business casual. A symbiosis of business and casual wear. Suitable for visiting the office if the employer does not require compliance with a strict dress code. The basis of the look is a two-piece suit or slacks with a classic shirt in a solid color. The first should be an informal, discreet, but interesting design. A cardigan can be used instead of a jacket.

2. Smart casual. Another name for “pure casual”. In this direction there are no such clear frameworks as in the previous one. It is acceptable to use almost any casual clothing: jeans, various types of trousers (except classic ones), plain, checkered or striped shirts. The main thing in smart is the impeccable appearance of each element of the image, competent combination and correct presentation.Moderation, originality and elegance, impeccable neatness - all this “peacefully coexists” in the images of the fashion trend.

3. City casual. Urban or street style that allows you to go beyond and experiment. The main elements in it are accent details that give the image individual features. Characterized by a looser cut of clothing and layering. Slight negligence is acceptable, but it must be thoughtful.

• various knitted or knitted tops - sweatshirts, hoodies, V-neck sweaters, cardigans, long sleeves;
• polo shirts;
• jackets made of suede, corduroy, linen, tweed, wool, blazers;
• plain shirts in basic or one of the fashionable colors - blue, burgundy, as well as printed models;

You should not use a white shirt for a casual outfit - it is too formal for elegantly thought-out negligence. Jeans are an integral and characteristic attribute, but they should not be worn or torn. Despite the fairly wide range of acceptable shoes, sandals are inappropriate in this style. The same as beach shorts with T-shirts.

To create an elegant, but not strict, slightly relaxed, but at the same time neat look, good taste and adherence to fashion recommendations are required. Don’t be afraid to move away from stereotypes, experiment, use original elements to give your outfit personality — and you will succeed!
