Sharp-casual

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:

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.

Casual vomit

When you aren't drunk, you throw up from alcohol, and no one notices.

While Tanvi was playing beer pong, she had a casual vomit. No one noticed, so she just kept on playing.

yes, but casually

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.

Jay "So, do you like John?"
Sophie "Uhhhh, yes, but casually."
Jay "What does that even mean."

Casual Badger

That awkward walk by you do when:
- you're meeting someone somewhere and you're not sure if they're there yet
- you're not sure if the place you're going is open yet
- you think you see someone you know and want to make sure before going up to them
- you're not sure if the lecture is for your subject

''You're late! Where were you?''
''I wasn't sure if you were here yet, I did a casual badger past the window but I couldn't see you!''

''Is the shop open yet?''
''Dunno, I'll do a casual badger and have a look''

Casual Shotgun

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.

"Hey Nolan, want to do a casual shotgun before lecture?"

Casual boil

A chill party or gathering, usually involving beef stew. A dry party - no alcohol UNLESS you're adding it to the stew and drinking the leftovers. Different than a business casual boil, which requires black pants and a different type of stew.

Known in certain regions as "beef stewsday"

Customer at the coffee shop I work at: Hey, what are you doing this weekend?

Me, the barista: my roomie and I are just having a casual boil, nothing crazy
Customer: What?
