Stylish meets tough casual

Casual doesn't mean clueless... 

Me Cafe es su Cafe? 

More and more these days it is common to see men dress as if their outfits were bought, picked out AND put on their bodies for them by their moms, especially now that it's turning summer. 

Just because the temperature is rising, if doesn't mean sensibility has to drop with it. There ARE ways to get the casual comfort, while still keeping your tough, stylish appearance. All it takes is a little effort. 

Want to grab anything? 

An easy option is a nice semi-casual short-sleeved shirt - go colourful, it IS summer after all - with some comfy pants in a good, light, breathable fabric. Round it off with some fancy sneakers and a good gentleman's cap. Of course I threw in the floral braces to match the pants. 

Brace yourself for my style attack!

Another option is the totally way-out sleeveless top with jeans. This is not a good idea by itself, but plan it carefully and accessorize smartly, and you can still pull off a look that doesn't make people cringe. 

Very natur-al looking. 

Make sure the top is a bright color, so you don't end up looking like a teenage Taiwanese gangster, and, if the temperature allows it, wear a matching semi-casual sorry over it, unbuttoned. 

Deep in thought... 

Accessorize with a good cap, a stylish, manly watch and round off with a pair of study boots that say you're all business! Of course, if you have some ink to show off, even better!
