Casual statements attributed to men’s fashion like “I just pick up random stuff” no longer hold. You can be casual and comfortable in your sweatshirts, but when dressing for the occasion, not paying heed to what’s trending in the fashion world could lead you to find yourself a little out of place.

It is important to dress for maturity along with being fashionable. An outfit should give you a casual look that also makes you look both youthful and mature. Maturity is an attractive quality in men as it shows wisdom and commands respect. This does not mean one has to dress like an old man; it just means avoiding dressing like a teenager when you aren’t one. Wearing flashy clothes and funny t-shirts with slogans is generally not recommended past teenage. Here are a few things to bear in mind when putting together a casual look:

1. Growing up for fashion
Giving up on graphic tees would be the best way to shed the boy’s look and obtain a mature look to take on the men’s fashion world. By wearing funny, edgy, or graphic tees, you would just be a part of the crowd and not part of the men’s fashion world. They could suit informal occasions like when hanging out with friends. However, when you are attempting to present a casual look, go for a solid one colored t-shirt, a striped tee, or Henley’s or polo or casual shirts. You can wear it with a pair of jeans for a casual look that can suit any occasion.

2. Jeans
Jeans have been around for centuries and are there to stay in men’s fashion. You could rarely go wrong in a pair of jeans, unless, of course, you are not wearing the right pair. For the right look, avoid baggy jeans with embellishments and big logos. Excessive distress or excessive rips or bleaching would not look fashionable; instead, wear a clean dark blue pair that fits well for a groomed look. The fit of the jeans is very important to avoid a shabby look.

3. Footwear
Shoes are a crucial accessory in the men’s fashion world. Owning a pair of brown leather shoes sharpen up your dressing sense and look very classy and smart when paired with a casual outfit. Some casual shoes and desert boots are also perfect for any occasion, along with being super comfortable.

4. Accessories
The best way to spruce up an outfit would be to wear accessories like a watch, bracelet, or both. They give your outfit a bit more personality.

5. Layering
In the men’s fashion world, layering is an important concept. Wearing a plain gray sweater and jeans would give you a casual look. On the other hand, wearing a simple white shirt under the sweater would be noticeable and would make the outfit fashionable. To further smarten the look, you can finish it with a well-fitting blazer. A man in a blazer looks good because blazers accentuate the frame like no other garment.
