MEN'S STYLING "CASUAL ELEGANCE" LOOKS

Going out for a night on the town, drinks or dinner with clients, or to an event at night means looking put together and stylish.  You aren't working so business suits aren't what you should be reaching for.  Jersey's, sweats and t-shirts are only for game watching (preferably at home) so step up your style with these key pieces.

Must haves:  dark blazer (black, smoke grey, or printed-i.e. stripes or small plaid grey or black), scarves (long ones to layer outside jackets and sweaters, and short ones to wear around your collar), button down shirts (crisp white-can get this in a pattern, bright colors-pink, purple, blue, and black), cool belt (your buckle makes all the difference), and trendy loafers (suede, tassels, and colors such as blue, green, and camel are versatile).


This trench coat look with bold buttons, layered with a chambray denim shirt and scarf around the collar is very casual cool.  I would change the belt to add some flare to the look.  A big watch and cool loafers complete the look.
Men- go with this classic look for a casual day at the office. Looks great with this jacket!


For the preppier gentlemen, this is your look.  The cuffed slim fit pants make this look trendy.  Patterned/colored socks and casual suede loafers are right on trend.

Older gentlemen can still look casual and elegant too.  Take your tie off and add dark denim to a blazer.  Cuff the sleeves and push them up and add a nice chunky watch to complete your look.  
This is always a nice classic casual look. Navy blazer with a crisp white button up shirt and dark denim jeans. You can finish the look with a pair of dark brown oval toe style loafers. See the "Detailed Men's" board I created to see oval toe styled loafers.


This look screams casual elegance.  With a European flare, the open collar button down shirt (a favorite!), with a deep v cardigan, over a blazer with a small pocket square, hip belt, and contrasting watch seal the style award.

Take inspiration from these looks to change up your look for a night out and appear casual and elegant!
