How to Dress Casual

Whether you are going to work, a movie, a dinner or on a date, the age old questions still exists: What should I wear? Most of the time outside of work, people dress casually. Dressing casual is a very broad term, but for most people it means putting on a pair of jeans and a nice shirt.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Think about the function that you will be attending. If you're just going to a breakfast, luncheon or movie, dressing casual can mean something different than if you are going on a late night date or to a work function.

2. Dress casually, but be sure that your attire is appropriate. While it's perfectly fine to dress with jeans to a luncheon, you may decide wearing trousers is more appropriate for a late-evening dinner outing.

3. Accessorize your casual attire with some jewelry. For women, compliment your outfit with a nice necklace or bracelet. For men, wear a chain necklace or nice watch.

4. Compliment your outfit accordingly. If you are dressing casually to take a long walk with a friend, wear comfortable shoes. Some people give up function for fashion but pay for it dearly later on.

5. Refrain from sloppiness. For some people, casual means sweatpants and a sweatshirt. In some instances that may be fine, but be sure that the outfit is free from stains and tears.
