From casual to smart: The 20s dilemma

Posted on March 22, 2015 at 8:47 pm

There reaches a point in any man’s life where he has to make a decision. No I am not talking about any sort of mid life crisis nonsense, this is clearly a fashion thing. At what stage does a hoodie, trainers and jeans become an unacceptable look for a twenty something man? Do we reach a point where that becomes the attire of the teenager, and we need to be aiming higher, and more fashionably? But are the suits worn by professionals in their early thirties a little too serious and sophisticated for those of us who still have the fire of youth in our eyes are the high thread counts of suits too much for just hanging out with friends?

The truth is that those in their mid to late twenties are at something of a cross roads. We won’t all have amazing careers that can afford us wearing suits to drink casually, some might not even have work, let alone a well paying role. We need to strike a happy medium; nice jeans are always acceptable, but trainers need to be done away with once you hit your late twenties unless you’re in the gym. T shirts are fine, but childish logos need to go. Try a nice shirt, jeans and fancy shoes combination and see those heads turn.
