Male Styles | Casual, Sporty, Social, Surfwear

Meet the most varied male styles and know which one you fit into.

When you enter a clothing store do you go straight to the section that interests you or are you in doubt between one style and another, wandering around the store without knowing exactly what to buy? If you chose the second option, know that you are part of the vast majority of men who still do not have a defined style and, therefore, are insecure when it comes to putting on a look.

So today we are going to talk about the styles and options of men’s clothing for different occasions. You can choose the one that most identifies and set up your wardrobe on top of this style or you can switch between one style and another by choosing different pieces for each occasion.

Remembering that the most important thing is to feel good about what you are wearing. Although this search can sometimes seem complicated. Therefore, given this difficulty that some men have, we will try to clarify some points and make the act of putting on a stylish look something simpler.

Casual Male Style

The casual style is aimed at eclectic men, who move between different environments. This style refers to the balance between leisure and work. It can be used by men who do not have a job that requires a very formal dress.

Consequently, casual attire is not recommended for those attending formal cocktails and gala parties. That is, it is that type of clothes that you can use to work and go straight to the club or cinema.

Typical pieces of casual style:

• Denim shirt overlaying t-shirts
• Open or closed plaid shirt
• Jeans or Slim Twill
• Denim shorts and twill
• Sneakers or sneakers
• Plain t-shirts with basic colours
• Floral shirt, striped or character prints, for example
• Slim tie
• Coat, jacket or blazer over stripped shirt
• Accessories: watch, bracelet, rings

In short, the casual style is one of the most democratic of all, as it allows for various combinations and styles within one.

Male Social Style

The man who prefers social style does not give up suits, vests, sweaters and ties. In general, he is a professional involved in formal work who is in direct contact with important people at business meetings, conferences or audiences.

Therefore, the man who adopts this style should pay attention to some tips when choosing a suit and putting on the look:

• Suit trim. The suit must be adjusted to the measurements of your body, that is neither too wide nor too tight; and the sleeves in the correct measure: covering the wrists, without leftovers or faults.
• Suit length. The suit should be aligned with your outstretched arm with closed fists. If it is shorter or longer it is wrong.
• Pants in the correct length, that is, nothing to roll the bar over the shoe.
• The sweater is a wild card. It looks very elegant if worn over the buttoned shirt and is also casual enough for a stretch after work. So it can be used with jeans, dress pants, ties and closed shoes.

However, social style is not just about work environments. It is a style appropriate for those who do not give up elegance, whatever the occasion. Therefore, the important thing is to know when and how to incorporate this style.

Sporty Men’s Style

The sports style left the courts and gyms and won the streets. We can certainly characterize it as a mix of comfort, practicality and style. Perhaps, it may seem unpretentious, but each piece that composes it has a meaning and it is necessary to know how to make the combinations to get the look right.

This way of dressing had its origin and inspiration in the clothing used for the practice of sports and physical exercises, when, in general, loose and comfortable clothes are necessary to guarantee greater flexibility and freedom of movement.

For many years the sporting world and the fashion world went hand in hand until the two paths crossed and did not separate.

Some athletes, such as soccer players, for example, who are becoming increasingly famous and stylish, helped the sports style to consolidate itself and attract more and more fans.

Therefore, to put together a sporty look, invest in the combination of the following pieces:

• Sneakers
• Basic T-shirts or prints, in addition to models such as tank tops and oversized
• Tracksuits
• Nylon or polyester jackets
• Sweatpants
• Branded clothing on display, such as Adidas, Nike…
• Caps, backpacks, sports watches

Men’s Striped Style

There is little difference between casual and casual look. In short, stripped-down means “simplicity”, that is, what you want to be humble without drawing attention to.

Thus, as in the sports style, the main concern of the striped style is practicality and comfort, but in the simplest possible way. Without ornaments or props, but with good combinations.

It is important to keep in mind that comfort does not mean slouch, so the intention of the man with a striped style is not to dress in any way, but rather to feel good and beautiful using basic and cheap pieces.

To compose this style it is necessary to bet on:

• Straight or slim jeans, for example
• Joker blazer in neutral colours
• Plaid shirt
• Vests
• V-neck shirt

Tip: Abuse sneakers with more neutral colours and play with the prints of the shirts. Likewise, you can combine basic T-shirts with printed shorts to create perfect looks.

Male Style Surfwear

Fashion lives on coming and going. Certainly, pieces that went out of style can return with everything in other seasons. Packs, for example, were considered objects of desire and, at the same time, synonymous with “prejudice”. And no matter which side you are on, the fact is that since last year they have returned with everything on the catwalks of famous brands.

Despite this, these comings and goings, the surfwear style never went out of fashion, although it is not always in evidence. This is because surfers (surfwear = surf fashion) remain firm and strong across the planet, influencing fans and admirers in this simplistic way of looking at life. Surf fashion is much more than a style of dress, it is certainly a lifestyle.

In the 90s, surf fashion had a great influence around the world. Who has never cut or wished to have big hair to make that famous surfer cut? Or, likewise, did you want a button shirt with a floral print?

Well, you may not be able to cut your surfer’s hair, but wearing the floral shirts is up to you. And if there is any item that is up at the moment, it is exactly the printed social shirts. Produced in light fabrics, in general of viscose, which guarantees comfort and great fit, they are pieces full of attitude and style.

If you are a fan of this model bet on the following pieces to assemble your look:

• Florida social shirt
• Nylon or polyester shorts, for example, Tactel shorts
• Linen shorts
• Tie-Dye Shirts
• Slippers
• Sneakers

Conclusion

As seen, there are several male styles and for each of them, we will have more or less suitable occasions. Therefore, it is worth emphasizing that, although each style has its particularities, it is practically impossible to separate one from the other in a clear way, so that they all get confused and complement each other in some moments or in some pieces.

Furthermore, it is not our intention to exhaust the subject here, as there are several other styles in parallel to those we present. In the same sense, we know that fashion reinvents itself every moment and what today is one way, tomorrow maybe another.

Therefore, the most important thing is to always dress well according to what makes you more comfortable and raises your high esteem.

One thing in common among almost all styles is the use of t-shirts because it is such a basic and essential piece, they go with almost everything. Therefore, we leave as a tip for your next reading our article on Men’s T-shirts, the complete guide.
