Look good while taking it easy in men’s casual fashions
Staying in means casual clothing is king, but there is more than a fine line between casual men’s clothing and staying in your pyjamas all day.
While there is nothing wrong with the odd pyjama day, in fact it should be positively embraced, if it becomes a way of life it could start to ebb away at your self-confidence.
Feeling good about the way you look is important and what you wear can have a big impact on this.
While dressing up in a suit just to sit in your home office seems a bit unnecessary – unless being dapper is your thing – a couple of careful choices of casual clothing will have you looking good and feeling good. At Marriotts Walk, shops including Fat Face, Trespass, Crew Clothing and Marks and Spencer all have a great choice of men’s casual clothing from loungewear to smarter options.
Update your loungewear
Usually confined to lazy Sundays, your loungewear will no doubt have been getting a lot more use over the past year. It may have been looking a bit tired and neglected to begin with and, if not, the chances are it is now. Loungewear doesn’t have to be scruffy, so if your joggers, sweatshirts or pyjamas look a bit tired this is a good time to invest in new ones – you’ll certainly get the use out of them!
With loungewear being more popular than ever there is plenty to choose from, such as super-comfy 100 per cent cotton hoodies, loose fit joggers or woollen tops.
Update your jeans
Are your skinny jeans not quite cutting it on the comfort front? Loose fit is making a comeback on the fashion front as well as being super convenient for lockdown living.
Fans of jeans might want to switch up their skinnies for straight-legged mid-wash jeans, which are tipped as a new trend and will be comfier for sitting around in. This is also a great time to test out how you feel in different casual fashions. If you’ve thought about chinos but are not sure, what’s stopping you?
Refresh your T-shirts
You may be returning to your favourite T-shirts day after day, but be honest, are they still looking good? Shapeless, worn and ill-fitting T-shirts will not make you feel good about yourself. T-shirts of all designs can look stylish and smart if they fit well. To strike a more sartorial note on your Zoom meetings why not go for a Henley or polo-style T-shirt, that will also give you a ready go-to wardrobe for smart casual nights out when they return.
Snap up new trends
While tailored clothes tend to lead seasonal trends there is plenty to find that crosses over into a casual wardrobe.
A couple of trends that will work well through quieter days spent at home into spring and summer nights out (all being well) include:
Nautical-themed – Sea shanties have been the surprise hit of the year so far, but in casual fashions the coast is never too far out of sight. From Breton-style tops to fisherman beanies, nautical styles are a good way to stay casual while looking good.
Bermuda shorts – They’re back but not maybe as you remember them. Referring to longer, wider styling, this season’s Bermuda shorts will display a more sedate colour scheme than past decades so you can dress them up for a night out in smarter fabrics or get beach-ready in a more casual choice.
Flannel shirts – The ultimate layering option remains a fashion staple and is being picked as a highlight for the year. Large window checks and plaid designs on thick shirts or ‘shackets’ keep the trend moving forward. A great choice for a quick layer to throw on for a bit of added warmth and to look great.
Outdoor fashions
This is the perfect time for fashion to look to the great outdoors and fortunately it already was. Fleeces have made a fashion comeback taking them outside the realm of purely functional technical ware, while cargo pants are being tipped for a return. What better excuse do you need to wrap up warm and get out for a walk?
Of course, if you are perfectly happy in your pyjamas why not just treat yourself to a new pair? After all comfort is still king.
