The jacket in this case will be the central part of the image. That's why the choice of the rest of the clothes largely depends on the type of jacket with which the fashion bow is created.
The most common are the following types.
- Blazer. It is characterized by a fitted silhouette and large metal buttons. Traditional options have patch pockets and embroidery, although this is not the main condition for modern adaptations. They can be easily paired with turtlenecks and polos. They are usually made from elite fabrics and adjusted to the figure.
- Sports jacket. Differs in a looser fit and a soft fit. The sleeve length of such a jacket can be classic or shortened for the convenience of wearing. It is usually sewn from budget fabrics of different colors and prints. Nowadays, options for casual jackets in bright colors combined with soft colors of basic clothes are especially popular. Also, this type is characterized by the presence of leather or suede patches on the elbows.
- Tweed jacket. It is made of dense material and is suitable for wearing in the cold season. Usually it has an unobtrusive light print - a strip or a cage, thanks to which it acquires an interesting appearance. The silhouette of a tweed jacket is most often straight or slightly fitted, which makes it possible to wear the product with warm clothes.
Also, jackets may differ according to the following criteria.
- Single-breasted or double-breasted. Determined by the number of rows of buttons.
- Number of buttons in a row. The quantity can vary from one to four - it depends on the length and purpose of the product.
- Number of slots. There can be one or two slits at the bottom of the jacket from the back, depending on the density of the fabric and the cut of the garment.
- Slit or patch pockets... The latter option is often used on jackets made of thick material, where they are additional functionality.
- Lining... Expensive versions of the product are stitched with a lining of elite fabrics, for example, silk, and more budget options are made of viscose. Some options can be made without it.
Depending on the type, fabric and seasonality of a casual jacket, basic clothing, shoes and accessories are selected for it.
What to wear with?
Casual jackets can be successfully combined with a large number of basic clothes, in which the overall look should be moderate in color and elegantly versatile at the same time.
With shirts
The most popular option. In this case, it is not necessary to adhere to a monochromatic palette of products. The main condition is convenience and individuality. So, with jackets of such saturated colors as green, blue or brown, light options with a colored geometric print will look great.
Wearing a tie for men in this case is not at all necessary in order to maintain the versatility of the image. Women should pay attention to shirts of non-classic cut - shortened or fitted. It is especially important to exclude the basic combination of a shirt with a classic bottom as part of a casual style, so as not to overload it.
T-shirt
This combination is especially true for men. The success of the final look depends on the correct color scheme. Dark products will go well with bright colors and prints, while light nude ones will complement the looks with a classic navy or black casual blazer. Polo shirts will look great with a sporty top.
Turtleneck
Another option where it's easy to maintain the versatility of the casual. A jacket combined with a turtleneck will combine business and casual styles at the same time. This is a great option for autumn with a tweed product.
Jeans
Suitable for jeans up any color and shape. This is a versatile way to highlight the convenience of your look. The option is especially popular in combination with brogues or white sneakers. Up in this case should be classic or monochromatic, so as not to get an overly sporty look.
Pants
Non-classic fitted trousers with an interesting print will be an excellent option for men in combination with a solid gray or black blazer.Straight-cut trousers should be avoided, since paired with a jacket, they can be attributed to the means of exclusively business style. For girls, a combination of high-waisted tight trousers in combination with a top is especially suitable.
Skirt
Popular choice of girls. In this case, stylists recommend choosing a midi-length non-business style skirt. It can be a product made of delicate pleated fabric or a pencil skirt in a bright color combined with a top or T-shirt. In a casual style, there are no sharp restrictions on how to create an image. The main thing is that in the end the fashion bow remains elegant and comfortable.
