And while so many of us are still working from home, there’s no better time to keep the party going on the bottom with shorts.
The ingredients for the perfect easy casual outfit for guys
- Long-sleeve shirt
- Shorts
- Literally whatever else you want, you’re already killing it.
Any long-sleeve top will do, so get creative! Add a long-sleeve pocket tee for a laid-back look. Or dress things up with a button down to look and feel a little extra put-together.
From there? The sky’s the limit.
You could be comfy, cozy, and cool in a sweater or even a debonair turtleneck.
If the weather’s especially warm, swap in a knit polo and soak up the Vitamin D outside as long as you can.
Check out six ways to wear the best easy casual outfit for men:
outfit #1 Turtleneck + athleisure shorts + slip-on sneakers
turtleneck: Todd Snyder | shorts: Olivers | sneakers: Vans
SG Says: Don’t be afraid to pull out your turtleneck with shorts this fall! It’s the perfect mix of dressed up on top and getting your yaya’s out on the bottom.
With slip-on sneakers, this high-low mix just works.
outfit #2 Hoodie with a message and pull-on shorts
shorts: Todd Snyder | sweatshirt: Voting is Sexy | sneakers: Banana Republic
SG Says: This baby blue hoodie would look great with drawstring shorts and a classic white sneaker.
You could even throw a collared shirt underneath to feel a little more formal.
outfit #3 Rich colors and a wool sneaker
sweater: Banana Republic | shorts: J.Crew | sneakers: Kenneth Cole
SG Says: Our team is obsessed with this rich marigold-colored sweater from Banana Republic. The price is right (under $100!) and the merino wool will keep you warm all winter long.
With chino shorts and a wool runner, you can take on the day knowing you’ll look fashionably respectable on Zoom and IRL.
outfit #4 Comfy layers with workout shorts
denim jacket: Madewell | sweater: Naadam | shorts: Fourlaps
SG Says: It should go without saying, but a denim jacket would look good with all of these outfits.
Pairing it up here with a cable-knit crewneck sweater on top feels like quintessential cool casual style.
The shorts on the bottom? That’s all 2022 living.
outfit #5 A classic OCBD with hi-vis sneakers
shirt: Abercrombie & Fitch | shorts: Goodthreads (Amazon) | sneakers: Veja
SG Says: Easy. Breezy. Done.
outfit #6 Corduroy shorts and a neutral-hued sweater
sneakers: Reebok | shorts: Banks Journal | sweater: Taylor Stitch
SG Says: Corduroy shorts, you might ask? Yes! Corduroy shorts! This Banks Journal pair is a favorite of Chris Pine, and who are we to disagree with Chris Pine?!
A soft sweater and throwback sneakers makes for an easy way to round out this outfit, but you could also go with a button-up shirt and something trendy for footwear.
Like Birkenstock sandals with socks.
Or, these clogs that we swear are cool for guys all year-round.
