HOW TO DRESS CASUAL WITHOUT LOOKING DOWN

In "24 Hour Party People," the 2002 Factory
Records film and Madchester's 80s music scene, a quote stands out. Producer
Martin Hannett, advising Joy Division (and eventually New Order) drummer
Stephen Morris, tells him to play "faster but slower." He is
contradictory and opposite, but Hannett was right, puzzling as he was. You
don't have to rush and instead the speed should be natural, without forcing it.
How do we apply this premise to the way we dress? Well, although it may seem
the opposite, it is not as easy as it seems; Casual attire should always feel
like something unimportant, like you're not going out of your way to dress
without looking sloppy. Order is essential, as well as planning.
It is a wardrobe without rules but with keys. These are.

definitely an oxymoron, but Hannett was right, puzzling as it was. You can't
rush things and instead speed should be effortless but not forced. How does
this apply to the dressing?
Still, your T-shirt and jeans should never seem random, like
you've put them together before walking out the door and out into the world.
Order is essential, as is planning. You can't do it all, no matter how basic,
and expect it to be coordinated.
Precision is an integral part of the simplest aspects of
life, even on the surface. Whether you're looking to make a good impression or
feel ready to tackle the everyday world, here's how you can dress casually
rather than casually.
KNOW YOUR SIZE
This statement is not an exaggeration. You can wear the most
expensive clothes, but if something hangs over your shoulders or squeezes your
chest or waist, you will always make a bad impression on others.
It is true that many men do not know their true size and end
up buying t-shirts and shirts that are too big or too small, especially if they
do not try on clothes in the store or calculate the size they need. to fit in.
naked eye. This wrinkles the fabric in places and obscures its shape, making it
look like you are carrying a garbage bag (especially if the garment is not
ironed). And it is that something has to be clear: a good fit does not mean
that it is tight or that it adjusts to the skin. Armhole seams should be just
below the shoulders, without sagging or restricting freedom of movement. The
wrists, on the other hand, should reach only the wrist, not behind. As for the
collar, do the two-finger test: if two don't fit, the shirt is too tight, and
if they go too far, it's too baggy. Also, no shirts, except those that are
intentionally long or shirt-hemmed, should extend beyond the back pockets of
the pants. Be aware that this excess fabric will accumulate when you wrap the
garment around your waist.
FIT IS EVERYTHING
This statement is not an exaggeration. You can buy the most
expensive clothes, and something that hangs from your shoulders or straps
across your chest and abdomen will always make a bad impression. Studies have
shown that many men do not know their true size and, in turn, end up buying t-shirts
and shirts that are too big or too small, especially if the clothes are not
tried on in stores or if they are being confident about the size of the vanity.
This effect causes the fabric to pile up in places and darken your figure, so
you feel like you're using a garbage bag, especially when the garment isn't
ironed. A good fit, however, does not mean squeezing or even rubbing the skin.
Rather, the seams around the armholes should touch just below the shoulder,
without sagging or restricting your range of motion. The handcuffs, similarly,
should strike directly at the wrist, not behind. With the collar, do the
two-finger test: if you can't put two on, the shirt is too tight and too baggy.
Also, no shirt, except for an intentionally long hem or shirttail style, should
extend beyond the back pockets of your pants. Sach
