A common struggle for the men we work with is understanding how to dress on the weekend – the 2 days of the week that the business uniform remains in the closet. Concerns over not wanting to look too casual in just a tee shirt, while also withstanding from the desire to simply throw on the usual 9-to-5 button down shirt to ease in the decision making process. And while men most certainly have it easier when it comes to dressing than women, their options are just far fewer, the challenge often arrises in understanding how to dress casually while still looking put together.
The key to achieving men’s weekend casual style is ensuring that a good rotation of wardrobe staples are on hand, and then supplementing the rest with a variety of interchangeable top options that can be worn on their own or layered with basics. Go to pieces that we always recommend men have on hand are:
- classic straight leg black and dark blue jeans
- chino pant in tan, beige or camo green
- crisp white, black and grey tee-shirts for layering
- long sleeve tee-shirts or henley-shirts for layering
- versatile blazer in a neutral color, one which isn’t worn to the office
- solid colored sneaker
- black or tan boot
Once the wardrobe staples are in order, having a selection of cool and classic top options will bring the weekend casual look to life. Swap out the shirt combinations with different pants and you’re all set.
Dressing doesn’t need to be a struggle, so long as all the tools are in the closet!
