Smart Casual: Impress with a laid-back demeanor, but leave no piece unexplored. Take inspiration from James Marsden’s casual style and embrace the linen or chambray shirt. Try out a neutral pair of trousers for a timeless look. Even better, you can dress up your easy look with a sport coat. Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with a pair of leather loafers as well.

Around Town: Looking to run errands or catch a movie with friends? Begin your relaxed outfit with a pair of skinny jeans. Put on a henley for an easy finesse. The go-to bomber jacket is convenient for cool days, but don’t forget footwear and the accessories. Finish your look with a pair of comfortable sneakers. Finally, grab your favorite sunnies and for the man on the run–a stylish bag.

Retro Chic: Flex your appreciation for classics and channel 50s style with a lightweight knit polo. Go simple with the look and wear a pair of linen trousers. For an ultra relaxed ensemble, slip-on sneakers are an easy go-to. Now that you have a minimal but elegant outfit, it’s time for a timeless classic–a refined timepiece.

Flexible Dress: While the granddad collared shirt is a no-brainer when it comes to elevating everyday style, it’s also a versatile piece. The granddad collar shirt can be dressed up or down. Take a style tip from us and find the perfect balance. Pair a smart granddad collar shirt with a pair of sleek joggers. If you need to dress up your look, a classic blazer and dress shoes from a brand such as Bolvaint can work wonders.
