When we talk about a casual style, we mean what may be the style that more than 80% of the male audience follows. The why? the comfort it provides together with modernity. With the casual style we don’t eat our heads a lot to go out well on the street, since we can go from the most informal to the elegant point. Therefore, I want you the 10 golden rules to achieve a good casual style.

But we must be careful, one thing is that we choose to go casual and another very different to choose this style as “anything goes”. Just because it is everyday does not mean that going out in a tracksuit, or dressing for a job interview in sneakers is justified in this way: “Excuse me, but I am dressed casually.” Because we can be called stupid and pedantic.
The 10 golden rules to achieve a casual style
1. There are some clothes that are totally prohibited (unless you are going to play sports). The tracksuit is one of them, a garment that you can only use to be at home or when you are going to exercise, that you can go outside, at most, to go for a drink after the gym or play the soccer game the Saturdays with your friends. What is that about staying with your friends and going with the “tough badass” tracksuit? For each moment we have a model, for God’s sake, let it not be said.

2. The next golden rule is that your casual style is varied, disparate and that it does not translate into monotonous, cheap and a bit tacky. Unfortunately, sometimes, betting on the casual style can be a bit expensive. Of course there are low cost stores that will help us not to spend so much, but we must also make an analysis between quality and price. Is it worth paying less for something that will last less?
3. I laugh at those who boast of having a Vintage style. Many times they use it as an excuse to avoid laughing when they see them with military boots or that jacket that we had kept in the closet for a long time. You can be retro and go retro. In markets we can find old clothes that are in good condition, you just have to search, and at a reasonable price. But don’t make the mistake of putting on the first thing you see and mix it up because the goal of everything is to “be a little curious”, not to give us coins when they see us because we’re embarrassing.

4. The variety in our garments is the key. That is, colors and shapes have a place in the closet. Neither pink is a color for women and black is for occasions that require formality. You must dare with everything and for this you must bet on all colors. And the same goes for materials.
5. Avoid rude t-shirts. You know that if you go out the way you are, you will be the visual object of many people. It is one thing to be brave and care very little about what they say about us and quite another thing is to go out with t-shirts that say: “If you are hungry, here I am cold meat”… funny can become rude, and we do not have to disrespect anyone .

6. Sport is not the same as Sneakers. These are very different, they are more elegant than a shoe and they can serve you perfectly for situations in which formality is required, sports shoes, as a general rule, are for playing sports.
7. We must break the myth that Converse are shoes made for the modern man and the city or urbanite. There are more brands on the market other than Converse: Vans, Fred Perry, Bape, Lacoste… which are brands that we can find anywhere and have a great variety in terms of footwear.

8. Shirts are not for dressy or formal occasions. We must give them more opportunities. It all depends on what we combine them with. Jeans, a linen or even cotton shirt and Vans can be a more than interesting bet for a casual street look. Without losing informality, and always going like a paintbrush so that they tell you: “You look handsome. Well, I’ve put on the first thing I’ve taken from the closet”.
9. The accessories continue to have the same rule: scarves, gloves, scarves, … everything has a place, as long as the chaotic style that characterizes the casual style is not lost. Ties with shirts and jeans can be one of the best choices. You have to give the tie a chance.

10. You have to try to have a personal style. We must feel comfortable with the style we wear. It is useless to dress according to what they tell us if afterwards we don’t know how to wear a shirt, a scarf makes us uncomfortable or you think yellow is a “very bright” color.
Go tried and experiment. The street is your best fitting room.
