5 Tips to Choose the Best Casual Clothes for Men

If we were to single out and mention just one historical reference that shaped and propelled what we now know and recognize as Casual, then we would look no further than this pivotal moment in menswear: Casual Fridays!

The Casual style for Men was born in the offices as a response to a formal, rigid and unimaginative clothing that limited instead of liberating. But with the passage of time, this elegant but comfortable style took to the streets and reached the most remote corners of our world.

From businessmen to workers, including hipster baristas, skateboarders, soccer players and BMX riders, Casual clothing knew how to conquer us all and recently, it has even transcended genres. Today's Casual is masculine, feminine, neutral and multi-sex. It is soft, but resistant; everyday but chic and characteristic; unique but apt to be molded and re-molded.

But most importantly (even though gender is a really timely, important and relevant topic!), is that the Men's Casualwear industry makes clothes that are more and more eco-friendly by the day, using cutting-edge sustainable techniques. Not because it's fashionable, but because it's necessary!

The Casual in Terms of Pants for Men

The types, cuts, colors, fabrics and sizes are innumerable. You can find them formal, cargo, jeans, tracksuits or leggings... and the list can go on ad infinitum!

These two types of pants embody Casual Chic in the most complete sense. They are very easy to combine, elegant and comfortable. These two types of pants will crown, in the coolest way, the best Casual outfits for Men and will lend them some splendid exceptional notes.

5 Tips to Choose the Best Casual Clothes for Men

• It has to be comfortable!- If it's not comfortable, it's not Casual. Casual means being able to really wear it on a daily basis. The true Casual guarantees freedom, fluid and continuous movements like those of a river that slides carefree under a moon sung by Sinatra. You have to be able to sit on a chair, sofa, stool or on the floor without giving it a second thought. Smart Casual clothing should be practical. Your shirts should be stylish, but you should also be able to stretch your arms. Your t-shirts (white, graphic, or colorful) should be lightweight and breathable. Your puffer jacket should be warm, but it should also fit into your wardrobe!

• It has to be off-road!- Office hours are usually eight and when the working day ends, another begins; more demanding! The children, the purchases, the sweat in the gym, the acroyoga or the move to your new flat. Casual clothes will take you everywhere without having to run home to change or carry a second backpack with more clothes with you all day. Who needs additional loads? A pair of black chinos or joggers, a white button-down shirt or a white Henley with a pair of boots or a pair of sneakers... there's nowhere these pieces can't take you!

• It has to be easy to combine!- How men can always look good in Casual clothes? Being able to create multiple elegant combinations effortlessly!

Stand in front of your closet with your eyes closed and choose three or four items at random. You should be able to combine them without problem. A blue sweater, a t-shirt of any color and a pair of classic chinos. It's impossible to go wrong! Just pray you don't choose two pairs of pants... But even this might not be a problem. Creativity sees no bounds or limitations!

• It has to be classy!- Precisely tailored and structured, timelessly chic and adjustable to all complexions, the Casual clothing lines will generously offer you the priceless gift of elegance. Receive it and create outfits that will accompany you wherever you go. Elegance is one of the basic foundations of Casual!

• It has to be minimalist- To get the most out of your Casual looks, not much is required. Quite the opposite! (Even if you don't oversimplify, a fancy accessory will always add elegance and quality) It doesn't take many words to tell an epic. The same goes for your Casual clothes. Few exquisite, elegant and wisely chosen garments will give rise to infinite looks and outfits. If you do it right, your drawers and closet will reach new dimensions, hitherto unexplored.

Surely we all have felt it. Our most perfect moments have settled for the bare minimum. Some love, some harmony, a deep sense of belonging, a friend or two, and half a bottle of wine. Why should we act any differently when it comes to our clothes? A white shirt, a pair of navy blue Standard cut Chinos and a pair of Chelsea boots. What else do you need? Okay, okay, okay... I hear you! Maybe a jacket too, so let's add it to the photo. But back to the question, what else is needed? The answer? Nothing. We don't need anything else! We could ask the same thing to Coco, Christian (Lacroix or Dior), Tom or Hedi and the answer would remain the same. Nothing more!

Elegance means doing more with less, standing out discreetly, explaining clearly but silently. True style, true fashion and true respect for the environment need the bare minimum. Sustainability is also an aesthetic choice.

Today's fashion is less water, fewer resources used and wasted. Today's fashion is innovation. From design to fabrics, through transportation and delivery methods, we all deserve it!
