The less ambiguous older brother of “smart casual”. Sharp casual describes a man who rejects both the laziness of the roadman/athleisure aesthetic and the conservatism of dress codes which characterise coke-addled investment bankers.
I.e. someone who is permanently well dressed but also comfortable in their own skin. Often combines elements of the traditional lounge suit with more casual contemporary elements such as denim and workwear to create a clean cut, presentable and approachable aesthetic.
Jackets: slim fitting suit jacket/patterned blazer, Lewis leathers motorcycle jacket, traditional varsity letterman, Levi’s denim jacket, Harrington G9, Burberry trenchcoat, sheepskin flying jacket.
Trousers: Uniqlo, wrangler or Levi’s jeans, Ralph Lauren chinos or slim fitting suit trousers.
Jumpers: polo neck, crew neck or v neck in contrasting colours to jacket or trousers
Shirts: polo shirts, white tee shirts or cuffed office shirts.
Shoes: Converses, Jack Pascelles, Oxfords, Brogues, motorcycle boots, desert boots.
Accessories: eccentric cufflinks, silk ties, patterned scarfs, pocket squares, baker boy (winter) or Panama hat (summer).
Examples:
David Gandy, on his day off
Steve McQueen
Tom Hiddleston
Michael Caine
James Dean

On the day of the trial, Henry adopted a sharp-casual aesthetic, mistakenly thinking this might make the jury look more favourably upon his crime.

Get the Casual dripmug. When a person doesn't intend on being savage, but what they are saying (which is being said casually) is pretty savage, thus making what they are saying more savage than purposely burning someone.
Joey: "This man is probably saying that weeaboos are disgusting, ugly creatures because he's most likely one himself."
Shine: "Yeah, almost as if he has very low self-esteem, and he feels the need to make himself feel better by bullying others who are just like him."
People in comments of this random video: "Holy shit Shine and Joey are casually savage-"

Get the Casually Savagemug. When your friend doesn't want to answer if they like a person, so they say yes, but casually. It does not make sense, but you have to deal with it and try to push them to explain further.

Get the yes, but casuallymug. When you shotgun a beer, only casually. It should require a minimum of 3 separate drinks/pulls and you must hold the can side-ways in a casual manner. A casual shotgun portrays both class and sophistication.
