30 Sep Pairing A Dress Pants For A Casual Look
Don’t let your formal pants go to waste! They’re not just for special occasions, and can be styled for everyday wear too. By learning the art of pairing dress pants, you’ll be able to make the most out of your wardrobe and elevate your everyday style effortlessly.
Step one is learning which kind of dress pants work best for formal events and which are more acceptable for less formal situations. Of course, there are dress pants, which are more suited for ceremonies. A fair rule of thumb is that dress pants are not appropriate for a casual outing if you cannot envision yourself wearing them without a suit. Choosing a respectable pair of dress pants is the first step.
A button-up collar is not necessary for a dressy white shirt that is meant to be worn with a suit. But if you want a similar look with a more casual attitude, go to the button-down.
Layer your collar with sweaters, cardigans, and other outerwear when the temperature drops. They are a great way to instantly update your look without any effort and can be worn over almost anything.
You can find a cardigan in any color or pattern, so whether you want to add a subtle splash of yellow or make a bold statement with some plaid or leopard print, a cardigan is a simple yet effective method to do so.
Not as simple as throwing on a pair of sneakers with your dress pants; that would be weird. Choose “in-between” footwear like saddle shoes, buck shoes, or basic oxfords to strike a balance between casual and dressy.
