My personal rules for casual style: no ripped or distressed clothing items, no logos (I don’t treat my body as an advertisement billboard), no sagging pants, olive and blue chinos are a safe default, woody aromatic and citrus aromatic colognes give a well put together vibe, and collared shirts are your friend.

[@TheStyleOG]

Agreed!

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I learned on THIS CHANNEL, years go, that casual clothes, and even gym gear, should be tailored and on point. What a difference it makes! My Everlane performance chino's are tailored to military precision. Same goes for darting untucked shirts, sleeves, you name it. Man, I'll even tailor T-shirts if I have to. It's worth it. Thanks, G....and Salute!

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute!

[@HustleTownUSA69th]

Bro Im gonna start doing that with everything too

[@westfieldartworks8188]

@@HustleTownUSA69th when you do it, you start to realize just how powerful the phase " Fit is King," really is. I try to think " Military Honor Guard " with all my clothes. I shoot for that if I can, even with very casual clothes. It takes effort, but its effort that pays off in silver dollars.

[@smmaistheway]

What's the point of tailoring gym clothes if your size is changing bc your going to the gym?? Lol

[@westfieldartworks8188]

@@smmaistheway Well, I workout, but I keep my body fat levels in check. I think my weight fluctuates no more than 5 or 10 lbs no matter what time of the year. I'm probably 6 to 8 lbs. lighter in summer, and that much heavier in the winter time.

[@stevenwells5069]

As I've gotten older, I definitely agree with sticking to solid colors, and minimal sneakers!

[@dr.garynelson4687]

My fellow OG's. I can't back Jeff up enough on the point of making sure your casual clothes are tailored and fit just as well as your dress clothes. I have my jeans and khaki's tailored with the same care as my suits. Spending a little extra for good looking casual shoes makes a Grown Man stand out from the kids out there. Salute!

[@TheStyleOG]

Yes Sir!

As someone mostly dresses casual I salute u for teaching us a thing or two about how to put it together.

[@RClarkTwo]

You always keep it real, man. I love how you encourage us to wear what feels comfortable and to bend the rules... being comfortable in well-fitting clothes is what gives a man true style. Salute!

I tailor everything! It's the fit that makes the big difference!!

[@melvinmckinney9120]

Fine video Jeff. Some guys don’t know how to dress casual. Myself I like to wear sweaters and jeans along with my casual boots. The tips you have in the video are nice and very informative.

[@leavonfletcher4197]

One thing I would say about dressing casually is that grooming is critical. Make sure your hair, teeth, skin and everything are taken care of and look nice. It is an easy way to elevate yourself above the other guys that just threw on a t-shirt and headed out.

[@TheStyleOG]

Definitely !

[@FatherAndTeacherTV]

I really appreciate this video. I am still trying to work on my fashion and physical health after a recent divorce. Thanks, Style OG.

[@williedeananencounterwithg439]

Jeff Excellent tips my casual game has always been conservative, chinos, jeans, solid color shirts and sweatshirts and high end loafers and sneakers. Cologne is a must at all times .

[@pierregeorge9050]

Jeff, casual clothing or dress to kill. Fit is King, as you have said so many times. I’m a watch guy, so I wear a watch and put on some Cologne. During this time a year a nice pair of boots for any casual outfit. Salute to you.

Wearing quality shoes with your casual wear is a flex that always gets attention, in my experience. I am taking your advice and getting my casual clothes tailored and it definitely makes a difference in looking like a grown man. Great advice, as always Jeff.

Thanks!

[@alphonsosimon9193]

I like to rock waistcoats. Another versatile component of a man's wardrobe. Can dress it down by wearing a classic T-shirt and jeans or a tie and pocket square at work. One certainly to consider. Can you add that to a future Look Book?

[@lavaciettedavis1247]

Yes, yes, and more yes!

[@lilcwa]

Solid video as usual, brother. The green jacket, white crewneck, and lighter wash jeans paired with those dark honey suede Chelsea boots at 3:35 make for an ideal three-season casual outfit for the grown man who wants to stay simple and versatile-and it looks particularly good on those of us with some color to our complexion, so well done. That’s an outfit most any guy can pull off and look like a badass without trying to look like a badass. Keep up the fine work, sir. Salute!

[@fawkesandhound]

DON’T dress like your son! 🤣 That’s a good tip but real G’s be raising their sons right, showing them the Style OG channel! 😎7

[@golfrichardvc]

Really good Style OG ! The basics are important and from there anyone can look smart but always remember FIT IS KING. Salute !

[@maxoggle11]

This is more relevant to me and I have enough problems just getting the fit right. I think I've started to make some progress just recently with fit of jeans and chinos that I'm happy with, the stretch thing with jeans really threw me. I'm getting on a bit but i like to be comfortable in what I'm wearing and look age apropriate.

[@leroyw3799]

Another good one Jeff style O.G , Salute !!

[@darthgiggity7948]

As I reach my 30s what I have realized that whenever I dress casual clothing all I need to remember is to keep it clean and simple. I now choose plain colors for my clothes and as much as possible I choose clothes that are comfortable especially because I'm on the larger size.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@thenoel2]

As a 51 year old guy my heart sinks a bit every time I hear the style og saying dump the graphic tees; I do like wearing my star trek tees now and then 😞

[@TheStyleOG]

[@shawndellbailey4032]

I didn’t see Sunglasses 🕶 on the list OG. That helps the casual look especially in the warmer climates. A little light jewelry won’t ever hurt either. And you usually speak 🗣 of Caps 🧢 as a style for a firm casual look. I watch your channel and enjoy the content. Keep bringing the heat. And yes 👍🏾 Fit is KING 👑 tailors and the gym work well together.

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the input!

[@shawndellbailey4032]

@@TheStyleOG sorry to bust your chops but, elaborate on which jackets you advise: Jean jackets, Sweater Jackets , Cardigan, Suit Jackets, Sports Jackets , Vegan Jackets. I saw the top coat which is a classic. But what about the Bombers and the Biker leathers. Or longer 3/4 jackets. Just want your opinion.

[@brandythomas1420]

Thank you for your style tips. I am subtly adjusting my boyfriends wardrobe.

[@rajc1382]

Great advice...

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@ardentdfender4116]

In my personal style rules there are not things i have to think about they just are and I inately do them without thinking. I iron my cloth, thus no crumpled clothing. No ripped clothing. I try not to wear logo clothing, but i can't help if its on the outer coat jacket. Clean cloth. Just simple rules. I do my best to rotate the things i wear as well do proper clothing maintenance and take care of my cloth. How you maintain your clothing has a huge impact on how you wear the things you choose to wear.

Salute to you bro. Great tips. I take a lot of pride in my casual look and I’m always looking for ways to keep it simple yet expressive. So your idea of paying attention to trends but not being ruled by them is on point 💯

[@peterturayjr1209]

It's true as it's much harder getting casual clothing right compared to formal wear. Suit, tie, trousers and shoes is predictable, yet casual wear is unpredictable and can easily go left from just a single clothing item to wrong colour coordination.🤔

[@TheStyleOG]

Indeed Peter!

For me a watch is a MUST! I’ve been wearing a watch since I was 8 yrs old. Believe it or not, my first watch was a Boliva. I’ve also been wearing cologne since then. I used to wear my uncles Arimis,Brut and Hi karate… lol… funny but, the little girls loved it in my class…lol. I can’t rock shoes with jeans or wear Chelsea boots… they just don’t fit my personal style. I don’t like the look on me.

Hey Style OG, could you make a video on stylish ways to wear hats? I don't mean baseball caps, I mean like the kind you can wear to a function or around town to give you a bit of class. I don't think you've done one of those and I feel like you would make a boss video. Thank you!

[@MikeBixby]

Enjoy your channel.. I will add a perspective that any and ALL jackets should cover - be longer than the shirt under it. I see that a lot these days but it looks sloppy to have a shirt/sweater hanging out under or below the cut length of the jacket..It is not a 'buttoned down' or refined look. Good vid though, OG
