HOW TO DRESS CASUAL WITHOUT LOOKING DOWN

 In the 2002 film "24 Hour Party Persons," a quote stands out about Factory Records and the Mudchester music scene in the '80s. Producer Martin Hannett, giving advice to Joy Division (and later New Order) drummer Stephen Morris, tells him to play "faster but slower." It's contradictory and at the same time the exact opposite, but Hannett was right, as puzzling as it was. You don't need to rush; instead, the speed should be natural, without compulsion. How do we apply this premise to our clothing? Well, while it may seem like the opposite, it is not as easy as it sounds; Casual clothes should always be viewed as unimportant, for example, you don't put too much effort into getting dressed, but you also don't look casual. Order is important, as is planning.

This is a dressing room with no rules, but with keys. These.

In the 2002 film 24 Hours of Partying about Factory Records and the Mudchester 80s music scene, one quote stands out. Producer Martin Hannett, who directs Joy Division (and eventually New Order) drummer Stephen Morris, tells him to play "Faster but Slower." It's contradictory and definitely contradictory, but Hannett was right, as puzzling as it was. You cannot rush; instead, the speed should be light, but not forced. How does this apply to dressing?

However, your T-shirt and jeans should never look sloppy as if you put them together before you walk out the door and out into the world. Order is important, as is planning. You cannot improvise everything together, however simple it may seem, and expect everything to be coordinated.

Precision is an integral part of even seemingly simple aspects of life. If you want to impress or want to deal with the world every day, you can dress casually instead of casually.

 FIND OUT YOUR SIZE

This statement is not an exaggeration. You can wear the most expensive clothes, but if something hangs over your shoulders, 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 don't try on clothes in stores and don't calculate the size by eye. This causes the fabric to wrinkle in places and darken in shape, giving the impression that you are carrying a garbage bag (especially if the clothes are not ironed). And that should be clear: a good fit does not mean that it snugly or adapts to the skin. Armhole seams should be just below the shoulders without sagging or restricting freedom of movement. In this case, the cuffs should reach the wrist, and not the back. For the collar, do the test with two fingers: if two don't fit, the shirt is too tight, and if you have too many of them, then it is too baggy. In addition, shirts should not protrude beyond the back pockets of trousers, unless deliberately long or hemmed in shirts. Keep in mind that this excess fabric will gather when you wrap your garment around your waist.

ALL FITS

This statement is not an exaggeration. You can buy the most expensive clothes, and whatever hangs over your shoulders or crosses your chest and stomach will always make a bad impression. Studies have shown that many men do not know their true size and in turn end up buying oversized or oversized T-shirts and shirts, especially if they don't try clothes in stores or aren't sure about the size of their vanity. This causes the fabric to wrinkle in places and darken in shape, giving the impression that you are carrying a garbage bag, especially when the garment is not ironed. However, a good fit does not mean adhering to the skin or even rubbing it. Rather, the seams around the armholes should touch just below the shoulder and not sag or restrict range of motion. Likewise, the fists should hit directly on the wrist, not behind. With a collar, do the test with two fingers: if two don't fit, the shirt is too tight, and too much means it's too loose. In addition, the shirt should not protrude beyond the back pockets of the trousers, unless deliberately long or hemmed. Keep in mind that this excess fabric will build up when the garment is tucked in at the waist.

DON'T FORGET TO CUT

Shape and cut, while similar, are not synonymous. You can wear something loose or slim, and depending on your size and physique, it might look bad on you. When it comes to dressing, knowing which cut suits your body type and how that might affect your fit will help you a lot. And the fact is, apart from thin or wide cut clothing, corners play an important role in softening or accentuating your torso and interacting with color or pattern. In general, straight or tight fit clothing is the most versatile for mid-sized people when it comes to casual wear. In this case, the lines should be sharp, but not sharp edges, to highlight the torso and the lower half, and not darken them.

DO NOT IGNORE CUT

Shape and cut, while similar, are not synonymous. You can have something with a relaxed or slender silhouette, and depending on your size and build, it may still not fit well. To some extent, you need to understand which cut is right for your body type and how that might affect your fit. In addition to clothing that is narrow and wide, corners play an important role, softening or accentuating your torso and interacting with color or pattern. Typically, skinny to regular fit clothing is most versatile for mid-sized people when it comes to casual wear. At the same time, you need clear lines, but not sharp edges, to highlight the torso and lower half, rather than darken them.
