Beat the Boredom of Business Casual

I’m a casual guy. I don’t run around in suits every day and describing my personal style as dapper wouldn’t be entirely accurate. Don’t get me wrong, I like dapper looks and there is a part of me that secretly wishes I had a suiting collection vast and interesting enough to be on display in a museum. But, unfortunately, that just doesn’t fit into my lifestyle. I don’t have the need to dress like that every day and truth be known, I do enjoy getting creative with more casual pieces and looks. That is not to say that I don’t like to wear ties and rock a more polished look every so often. That is also not to say that going a more casual route has to be boring by any means. I think business casual allows for tons of opportunity to get creative and have some fun.

A look like this one is how I like to spend my workdays. I like starting with a nice foundation of either a pair of dark denim, a dress chino, or a fun suiting pant. I have a huge collection of fun, casual button ups so I wear one of those every day. This nice balanced base provides the perfect opportunity to add some more elevated elements. Add a cool tie like this awesome anchor one and maybe even a fun tie clip. Mix it up with your shoe choice and don’t forget the ever popular opportunity to add some style pizzazz with a sock statement (you can’t see mine here but they are teal and navy). This outfit is simple and so effortless, not to mention comfortable, but definitely has style. Who wouldn’t want to spend a day at the office this way? Just remember to try to inject your own personal style into it and have some fun. As far as I’m concerned, business casual beats wearing a suit any day of the week. 🙂
