Custom suits and imported silk ties look great, but they\u2019re not a lot of use to young men in their late teens and early 20s.<\/p>\n
Even if you could afford that kind of a wardrobe (most can\u2019t), there\u2019s no place to wear it \u2013 it\u2019s far too formal for socializing with 20-somethings, and very few men are walking out of college and straight into high-powered financial or legal offices.<\/p>\n
So much of the advice on how to dress well as a man isn\u2019t all that useful for high school and college students, or even for post-grad students and working 20-somethings. A good suit is useful to own, but not something you\u2019re going to be wearing when you go out with friends.<\/p>\n
So what to wear instead?<\/p>\n
The trick is diversifying \u2013 taking the same casual level of dress that most young men wear, and adding new looks to it to stay sharp without looking stuffy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s safe to assume that most young men have a couple pairs of jeans, some T-shirts, a sweatshirt or two, and maybe a few button-down shirts in their wardrobe. If you don\u2019t have those, you\u2019re either unusually well-dressed or very inventive.<\/p>\n
The way to go from looking like everyone else to looking sharp and stylish is to take those basic wardrobe pieces and swap a few of them out for pieces that are nicer, but aren\u2019t necessarily any more formal. When everyone else is wearing jeans and T-shirts or hoodies, you stand out by being the guy in something a little different.<\/p>\n
Here are a few basic staples of most young men\u2019s wardrobes, and some alternatives to them that can be worn stylishly but casually:<\/p>\n
Blue jeans<\/em><\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Swap them for colored corduroys, earth-tone cotton slacks, gray wool flannel trousers, or just jeans in a darker color and close fit. Even the simple upgrade from light blue work jeans to dark, stylish, contrast-stitched jeans goes a long way in improving your style.<\/p>\n T-shirts<\/em><\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Replace them with polo shirts, lightweight long-sleeve T-shirts, henley shirts, Breton tops, and other light, but distinct, styles. If you do wear a T-shirt, something with a solid color and either no design or an artistic design (rather than a band name or sports team) is best.<\/p>\n Hoodies<\/strong> \u2013<\/em> Swap them for casual collared shirts, plaid flannels, cotton sweaters, lightweight cashmere sweaters, sweater-vests, and cardigans.<\/p>\n Coats<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Keep the thick winter coat for when you really need it, but add blazers and sports jackets to the fall and spring wardrobe. Throwing a casual jacket on over even just a T-shirt and jeans instantly upgrades the look.<\/p>\n Sneakers<\/strong> \u2013<\/em> Swap \u2018em for casual leather shoes. Saddle shoes, wingtips, brogues, loafers \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of options here. If you do want to keep sneakers in the wardrobe, go for colored canvas options (like Converse All-Stars) to keep it stylish.<\/p>\n These are all just examples of a simple point: the more things you have in your wardrobe that aren\u2019t the same old blue jeans and T-shirts, the sharper you\u2019ll look. Small upgrades go a long way in casual company.<\/p>\n So what are some pieces that young men can wear to break out of the mold a little?<\/p>\n These are a few that are worth knowing about. You probably can\u2019t add them all to the wardrobe at once, but if you\u2019re working on adding variety a few pieces at a time, these would be worth your while:<\/p>\n Sports jackets<\/strong> –<\/em> These are probably the easiest way to dress up any casual outfit. Throw a blazer or sports jacket on and suddenly you\u2019re classy. Not particularly formal, but certainly sharper than your peers, and with an almost infinite variety of colors and patterns out there to choose from you can add quite a bit of uniqueness to your wardrobe with only a few pieces.<\/p>\n Blouson<\/strong> –<\/em> A tight-waisted descendent of WWII-era field jackets, this is a good option for times when a sports jacket with lapels feels a little too dressy. It has a timeless feel that reminds people of old movies, war heroes, and middle America.<\/p>\n Leather jackets<\/strong> –<\/em> Another good casual jacket option, you\u2019ve got your choice of a couple styles, ranging from the heavy, lined bomber jacket to tight-fitted moto jackets. They have a little \u201ctough guy\u201d swagger to them.<\/p>\n Jean jackets<\/em><\/strong> – Again available in lots of styles, these shouldn\u2019t be worn with matching denim (blue jeans and a blue jean jacket is no good), but look great with slacks, corduroys, or in some cases, darker denim, though mixing denims should always be done carefully.<\/p>\n Overcoats<\/strong> –<\/em> A long wool overcoat is something many young men lack, and something that becomes invaluable in cold or wet weather when you\u2019re dressing up. Throwing a puffy winter parka over a suit or nice jacket ruins the whole look. Keep an eye on second-hand shops if you can\u2019t afford one new off the rack — a good Chesterfield<\/a> or polo coat is the ideal companion to your nicer outfits.<\/p>\n Pea Coats<\/em><\/strong> – Originally worn by sailors, pea coats are often made from navy-colored or black heavy wool, and feature broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, and large buttons. Looks sharp, and pulls together both casual and slightly more formal outfits.<\/p>\n Duffle coats<\/em><\/strong> – Also called toggle coats for their typical style of button, duffel coats were originally military surplus and later became a staple of European intellectuals and students. They\u2019re still classic campus wear, and striking these days for their uniqueness (especially on American campuses, where they were never quite as ubiquitous).<\/p>\n Barbour jackets<\/em><\/strong> – Wet weather gear from England, the Barbour has various imitators from brands like L.L.Bean and Land\u2019s End, but the originals are sturdier \u2013 being made with waterproofed cotton with a quilted lining. They look rugged and outdoorsy, and have the added benefit of keeping you dry without being a shiny plastic poncho or something similarly unstylish.<\/p>\n Want more help dressing for cold weather? Visit this classic AOM article.<\/a><\/p>\n Odd trousers<\/strong> –<\/em> This is the catch-all term for pants that don\u2019t match your jacket, but generally implies casual wool trousers. Blue jeans worn with a jacket are technically odd trousers, but most people wouldn\u2019t say that. Instead, you should be thinking about colored and patterned wool or cotton slacks — everything from plain gray flannel trousers, to plaids and houndstooth is fair game, and looks good paired with a casual jacket.<\/p>\n Corduroys<\/em><\/strong> – These can come in any color, ranging from staid earth tones to neon-bright primary colors. The former is a good casual companion to a tweed sports jacket; the latter works well in lively evening outfits with a sharp blazer or casual shirt. In either style they\u2019re comfortable, sturdy, and more breathable than denim, making them a good alternative to jeans.<\/p>\n Gray flannel trousers<\/strong> –<\/em> A staple that every man should own, these are for when you want to look dressy and a little more conservative and\/or grown-up. Pair them with a decent dress shirt<\/a> and a blazer and you\u2019re set for a work day in most offices; skip the blazer and wear a more casual collared shirt (plaid \u201clumberjack\u201d shirts work well) for an off-duty look. Curious as to why flannel trousers are so hard to find? Read my post here.<\/a><\/p>\n Fitted jeans<\/strong> – <\/em>Looser jeans are fine for manual labor and very casual wear, but most of your jeans should be fitted to your side, with a bit of taper in the lower legs and no sag in the crotch or bottom. That makes them dressy enough to pair with casual sports jackets, particularly if the jeans are in a dark color. Deep indigo is your best bet, though black and gray have their roles as well, and daring men can go for white jeans with a dark top.<\/p>\n Cargo pants<\/strong> – <\/em>Have a pair for doing manual labor in, and don\u2019t be afraid to wear them from time to time with a collared work (not dress) shirt in blue or plaid. Multiple pairs are appropriate if you\u2019re someone who does a lot of physical labor.<\/p>\n Dress shirts<\/strong> – <\/em>Everyone needs one or two in plain white for dress occasions; for the rest go for light patterns and colors. They should still be based in white or a very light pastel, but both stripes and checks are fine for most occasions.<\/p>\n Casual collared shirts<\/em> <\/strong>– Useful for evening casual wear in particular, shirts that have the same basic cut as a dress shirt but a bolder pattern or color go well with everything from gray wool slacks to blue jeans. Variegated stripes (multiple stripes of varying width and color), deep colors like purple and red, and figure patterns (repeating designs rather than line designs like stripes and checks) are all good options for casual collared shirts.<\/p>\n Work shirts<\/strong> –<\/em> Another collared style, these are made of softer cotton or denim. Chambray shirts have become more popular in style, and blue Oxford workshirts are a classic, as are plaid \u201clumberjack\u201d shirts. The latter are sometimes made in virgin wool instead of cotton, as with the iconic Pendelton brand.<\/p>\n Polo shirts<\/strong> – <\/em>Useful for all warm weather needs, everyone should have a few. One in white, one in a solid dark, and one with a few narrow stripes (the classic golf look) is a good start to the collection. Avoid wearing polos with a company logo on the chest unless you\u2019re actually on the clock and working for that company.<\/p>\n Rugby shirts<\/strong> – <\/em>Something like a long-sleeved polo shirt, these usually have broad horizontal stripes and in some cases, a team logo or school crest on the left breast. They\u2019re good for a collegiate look that doesn\u2019t rely on a hoodie or T-shirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n Henley shirts<\/strong> – <\/em>Similar to a T-shirt, but with a small, buttoning \u201cfly\u201d in the front, below the ring collar. They can be long- or short-sleeved, and both are a nice alternative to a plain tee.<\/p>\n Breton top<\/strong> –<\/em> Familiar to most people as \u201cthe French shirt\u201d — a three-quarter length sleeve shirt with horizontal stripes in alternating white and navy blue (or white and black; other colors are occasionally seen as well). A unique and eye-catching look for bold dressers. Don\u2019t pair it with a beret unless you\u2019re trying to look like a caricature of a Frenchman, or are a mime.<\/p>\n Guayabera<\/em><\/strong> – A traditional Mexican style also called a Cuban shirt. Guayaberas<\/a> have multiple front pockets, a soft collar, and decorative columns of pleats or embroidery, and can range from plain white to brightly colored and extravagantly decorated. It\u2019s a good touch of the exotic for a North American\u2019s summer wardrobe.<\/p>\n Cardigans<\/strong> –<\/em> Buttoned or zippered sweaters that open in the front. No college student should be without a thick, loose, blanket-like wool one. Nothing is better for draping around a girlfriend\u2019s shoulders, or just looking stylish on the way to class. Lighter, more fitted versions in cotton or light wools, like cashmere, are good for fall and spring.<\/p>\n Sweaters<\/em><\/strong> – Any style of pullover sweater can work well either on its own or paired with a sports jacket. For more on sweaters visit this classic AOM piece.<\/a><\/p>\n Work shoes<\/strong> –<\/em> Dark leather with a rubber sole and thick stitching, for a look that\u2019s sturdy but not sloppy. An ideal alternative to sneakers in almost any outfit, work shoes are made for work and often incorporate nonslip soles and steel toes. Doc Marten is the iconic brand here, developed by a German named Dr. Klaus Marten in 1943 and later acquired by an English company who transformed them into a staple of the young working class, football hooligans, and musicians.<\/p>\n Work boots<\/strong> – <\/em>Similar to work shoes but thicker, taller, and sometimes more varied in color. For the most part practical in use, but throw them on with jeans and a lumberjack shirt when you just feel like looking tough and outdoorsy (even if you\u2019re just walking down to the store or across campus). I am a fan of Red Wing boots – still made in Red Wing, Minnesota.<\/p>\n Sandals<\/strong> –<\/em> A good pair with dark leather straps keeps you looking sharp in the summer. The Birkenstock brand isn\u2019t required, but it\u2019s a good example of the style, and the soles are comfortable.<\/p>\n Canvas sneakers<\/strong> –<\/em> A pair of colored canvas sneakers like the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars is good for dressing down an outfit. Throw them on with a blazer and odd trousers or even a suit for a nightclub\/concert look. Just don\u2019t wear them with jeans and a T-shirt unless you\u2019re trying to look sloppy.<\/p>\n Chukka or desert boots<\/em><\/strong> – Desert boots are a practical sub-species of chukka boots, which are a low-ankled, loosely-tied style of casual leather boot. They\u2019re good for both practical outdoor use and casual social wear, and make a nice alternative to casual leather shoes.<\/p>\n Leather shoes<\/strong> –<\/em> Everyone needs a pair of plain black Oxford Balmorals for dress purposes, but beyond that it\u2019s good to have a few pairs with casual accenting. Brogues (shoes with perforated patterns), saddle shoes (two-tone shoes with a horizontal band across the upper), wingtips, and other styles that feature strong, decorative elements are all good for wear with everything from blue jeans on up.<\/p>\n Dress watches<\/strong> –<\/em> Stay within your budget, but have one. Either a metal or a leather band is appropriate, though you should always match your leathers. Anything from a good Timex to a Rolex can work, but stick to small, simple faces so that you can wear it with suits as well as your day-to-day gear.<\/p>\n Decorative belts<\/strong> –<\/em> Again, everyone needs at least one in black leather, but for casual wear consider stamped or tooled belts, or plain leather ones with interchangeable buckles. Colored leather, canvas, or cloth belts can be a great way to turn an outfit from just \u201csharp\u201d to \u201cunique,\u201d so long as you don\u2019t go overboard (the belt should never be the most noticeable piece).<\/p>\n Metal pens<\/strong> –<\/em> A seemingly small touch, but one that makes a great impression. Have a good, metal-barreled pen in your jacket pocket any time you wear one. That way you always look prepared, and when you pull it out you look a bit fancy, unlike someone with a plastic Bic.<\/p>\n Pocket squares<\/em><\/strong> – A final accent, and one you should have every time you wear a sports jacket, blazer, or suit jacket. Own a couple in plain white and then as many as you want in colors and patterns. Your jacket isn\u2019t complete without one. And know how to fold your pocket square!<\/a><\/p>\n Dressing for Class (High School) <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n High school fashion is a rough game! Too sloppy and you’re just another dude in the crowd, but too natty and you\u2019re likely to get teased (or worse).<\/p>\n Dark-colored jeans or corduroys and an untucked dress shirt is a good middle ground, especially when worn with casual leather shoes of some kind \u2013 it\u2019s clearly different from your classmates, but it\u2019s not stuffy. And if you find yourself in trouble with a teacher or administrator, you can tuck the shirt in quickly for an instantly respectable look.<\/p>\n Dressing for Class (College)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ah, college. Master of your own fate at last. For most of us, this is our first chance to dress ourselves and head out into the world without any input from anyone, and there\u2019s usually no dress code to worry about unless you picked a very conservative school.<\/p>\n But nothing attracts a professor\u2019s negative attention like a stereotypical college slob \u2013 you show up in sweat or pajama pants, a hoodie, and flip-flops, and you\u2019re basically taking points off your grade in the form of his or her lowered expectations. If your professor thinks you\u2019re a slacker, he or she reads your paper like a slacker\u2019s \u2013 just looking for opportunities to dock points.<\/p>\n So raise the bar at least a little. You also want to make a good impression on any potential romantic prospects you meet, so don\u2019t be afraid to out-dress your peers. Sure, they might give you a hard time if you show up in a sports jacket, but they\u2019ll get over it \u2013 and you\u2019ll still look good.<\/p>\n The ideal college look is usually something a little more formal than jeans and an untucked shirt, and a little less formal than a tucked-in dress shirt and navy blazer. Good middle ground options include colored and patterned dress shirts (tuck or untuck it depending on how sharp you want to seem), very casual sports jackets (tweed and corduroy are your friends here), dark jeans, colored cotton slacks, and cardigans or pullover sweaters.<\/p>\n For more style tips for college students, check out this classic AoM article.<\/a><\/p>\n Dressing for Graduate School<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n At the point where you\u2019re out of undergrad the responsibilities change, even in academia — you\u2019re no longer just responsible for yourself. Graduate students are almost always either part of a research team, part of a teaching team, or both. You end up representing a lab, a department, or a particular professor, and you need to be making a good impression. You probably won\u2019t get thrown out of your program for being sloppy\u2026but if the research isn\u2019t going well or you screw something else up, it sure won\u2019t help your case.<\/p>\n Grad students who teach undergrads need to look dressier than their students. That means wearing either a jacket or a tie \u2013 you don\u2019t need both, though you can wear both if you want to. If you don\u2019t have either you\u2019re probably underdressed.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t teach class sections but you do work in a shared lab or office, you can relax a little \u2013 tucked-in collared shirts are probably fine, though a sweater or jacket will certainly make you look sharper.<\/p>\n The ideal look for a grad student at work is usually a sports jacket or blazer (with a pocket square \u2013 always a good way to improve the sharpness of your look), a dress shirt tucked<\/a> in, and either wool or cotton slacks. Dark, fitted jeans can work, but at that point you\u2019re almost looking like a well-dressed undergrad. Dress slacks will give you a little more authority.<\/p>\n Dressing for Work: Office Casual<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously, not everyone\u2019s going to have an office job. \u201cDressing for work\u201d could mean everything from a bespoke suit on down to a pair of hip-waders, depending on your employment.<\/p>\n But for the most part, recent graduates end up somewhere in between those extremes, in an environment where full suits and ties aren\u2019t required but jeans and a T-shirt would be frowned upon.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a range filled with boring options, so rely on variety and details to spice your outfits up. Also rely on jackets, which no dress-casual worker should be without. They give you a sharper body shape than a guy in just a dress shirt, and they add the possibility of a pocket square, which is one of the most stylish accents out there for men.<\/p>\n Blue jeans might be allowed in some workplaces, but they don\u2019t ever look particularly professional, so go for wool trousers or cotton slacks instead. Neckties may or may not be mandatory, and if they\u2019re not, consider wearing one anyway \u2013 at least a few days a week, enough to make it clear that you enjoy the added style. The first time you try it someone will probably tell you, \u201cOh, you don\u2019t need to wear a tie,\u201d but you can just reassure them that you felt like looking a little sharp anyway.<\/p>\n Dressing for the Weekend: Daytime Errands<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When you don\u2019t have class or work, it\u2019s tempting to wear the oldest and most comfortable clothes in the wardrobe, but try to save those for working around the house. When you go out in public, it\u2019s worth a little time and effort to look sharper than the average guy on the street. You never know who you might run into, after all \u2013 friends, bosses, maybe even a future spouse. Who knows? That\u2019s sort of the point \u2013 and the reason you want to be nice-looking any time you venture out.<\/p>\n \u201cNice\u201d in this case definitely doesn\u2019t mean \u201cdressy.\u201d Wear something like blue jeans and a sports jacket that\u2019s making a nod toward nice dress without being too formal.<\/p>\n Most people aren\u2019t trying to wear their most eye-catching styles during the day (save those for socializing in the evening), so jeans or plain-colored slacks are usually the best trouser option, paired with just about any kind of shirt you please and a jacket or sweater on top. Shoes can be leather or stylish canvas sneakers.<\/p>\n Dressing for the Weekend: Evening Socializing<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When you head out at night with friends, it\u2019s time to look your best. Not your most formal, necessarily (though you may need a suit and tie at some specific events and establishments), but well-styled and striking.<\/p>\n That means breaking out the more unique wardrobe items: patterned blazers, colored trousers, and deeply-colored shirts. You don\u2019t have to wear all the colors of the rainbow \u2013 just gray slacks, a black shirt, and a light-gray blazer can look plenty sharp \u2013 but you should be wearing an outfit that you definitely wouldn\u2019t wear to work.<\/p>\n This is where a lot of guys run into trouble since our \u201cdressed up\u201d wardrobe tends to also be our \u201cwork appropriate\u201d one. It\u2019s worth investing in some blazers, shirts, and pants that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily wear outside of a social setting so that you\u2019re not one more guy in khakis and a blue button-down when you go out for the evening.<\/p>\n Casual suits aren\u2019t something that every guy owns, but they can be a good look for the evening. The trick is finding one that\u2019s clearly not a business suit \u2013 the fit should be close, and the color or pattern should be obviously informal. Worn without a necktie, you can look pretty sharp in a close-fitted leisure suit (a phrase with unfortunate associations from the 1970s, but as long as you steer clear of polyester and bright colors you\u2019ll be fine).<\/p>\n Dressing for a Date (or When You\u2019re Looking for a Date)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ahhh, romance! A part (hopefully) of every young man\u2019s life at one point or another. But how to dress for love?<\/p>\n Happily, the outfits for going out stag and hoping to find a date are basically the same as the outfits you\u2019d wear on most first dates (unless you do very fancy first dates). A pair of dark jeans or cords, a light-colored or lightly-patterned dress shirt, and a casual sports jacket or sweater will keep you looking both \u201cnice\u201d and \u201crelaxed\u201d \u2013 the two traits you really want to be projecting when you\u2019re looking for love.<\/p>\n A sharp-dressed guy who seems to care about his appearance is much more attractive than one who\u2019s sloppy with his grooming, so pay attention to your details. A recent haircut, trimmed nails, a good shine on the shoes, and, of course, a colored pocket square to liven up the jacket all speak well of the man wearing them.<\/p>\n Avoid deliberately \u201csexy\u201d looks, however. Whatever television has told you, most girls are not looking for skintight pants and shirts unbuttoned halfway to the navel. Look comfortable, confident, and neat, rather than slick. Seriously.<\/p>\n For more tips on dressing for a date, see this AoM article<\/a> or check out this “60 Second” guide<\/a> for a quick crib sheet.<\/p>\n Dressing for a Job Interview<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The basic rule for interviews is \u201cwear the uniform of the job you want, plus one level of formality higher.\u201d So if you\u2019re applying for a job as a high school teacher, where you\u2019d expect to wear collared shirts and either a jacket or sweater most days, you show up at the interview in a suit. If you\u2019re applying to dig ditches with the state Department of Transportation, on the other hand, you probably don\u2019t want to show up in anything fancier than khakis and a button-down.<\/p>\n That said, most<\/em> job interviews for the kinds of jobs young men gravitate toward are suit-and-tie affairs. It rarely hurts to be a little overdressed, and you make the best impression you can when you\u2019re wearing a sober, well-fitted suit.<\/p>\n As a result, most young men benefit from owning an \u201cinterview suit\u201d even if they have no other need for a suit. The basic interview suit \u2013 acceptable everywhere \u2013 is either charcoal gray or navy blue, single-breasted, two-button, and has notch lapels. Some small variations are fine \u2013 you\u2019re not going to lose a job opportunity because you wore peak lapels \u2013 but that basic formula is always reliable and conservative enough for anyone\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n You should wear the suit with a necktie; if you feel the interview is too casual for a tie it\u2019s also too casual for a suit. Suits without ties speak of leisure, which isn\u2019t the image you want to project. For a non-suit interview, wear a pair of plain-colored slacks and a dark blazer instead, with a light-colored or lightly-patterned dress shirt and an open collar underneath.<\/p>\n FYI – I cover dressing for a medical industry interview<\/a>, engineering interview<\/a>, law school interview<\/a>, or business school interview<\/a> here.<\/p>\n No matter what you\u2019re dressing for, the key for a young man is to have options. Most of your peers are dressing alike: if they\u2019re in school they\u2019re wearing jeans and sweatshirts; if they\u2019re working in an office they\u2019re wearing khakis and button-downs.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a whole lot more options out there. Corduroys<\/a>, cardigans, sport coats, blazers, loafers, canvas shoes, belts, polos, Henley shirts, saddle shoes, dress boots, cashmere sweaters, topsiders \u2013 the list goes on and on, and you should experiment freely.<\/p>\n Because as a young man, you\u2019ve got everything to gain by standing out \u2013 and your poorly-dressed peers are making it easy on you.<\/p>\n Watch a video summary of the post:<\/p>\nItems You Might Not Own (But Probably Should)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
