Casual Sundays

First, let me address my philosophy to get this out of the way, and weed out those who cannot relate. As a firm believer that your outward appearance is a statement of your inner personality, I find that having a meditated, but still organic approach to your presentation is key to instilling confidence in those whom you encounter, as well as in yourself.

A wise man once told me, "If you wear brown shoes and a black belt, it looks like you got dressed with the lights off." I'll never forget that statement. Looking unplanned can say a lot about how one carries themselves, and I believe, can tarnish others' perception of you. So don't fall victim to the prejudice of others, dress mature and confident, and make a statement about who you are, where you came from, and where you're going.

Nobody wants to wear slacks on a Sunday. But jeans can appear a little bit unplanned. So where do you go with it? Try a pair of colored pants, either denim or something similar. They're still comfortable, but aren't as lukewarm as Levis. I went with the maroon/burgundy red.
*A little style tip, don't just match something with black because you can't figure out a good color to pair it with. I usually start with brown/autumn hues, and try to find others with similar bases, and match them. For example, my pants are red, but not bright red, meaning they probably have a base of brown, yellow, and a little blue. A bright red would probably have a pure white base, with a little bit of ivory.

The brown v-neck is a staple. I find that it matches a variety of textures and hues. It states originality, as well as confirms one's affinity for alternative colors. Atop the v-neck, I went with a puma jacket. It has gold accents and red drawstrings. You can see why I picked it.

A brass MK watch complements the tone of gold perfectly.

Depending on the application, shorter pants are often better. They show your shoes, socks and style. They also prevent unintended ruffling at your feet, which can appear un-attended to and poorly fit.

The drawstrings and knobs complement the jacket, watch and pants.

A textured pair of socks and some Sperry's are great with properly tailored pants. 

Well, that wraps up session 1. Leave your comments below. Stay up, TCG.
