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:

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.

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.

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''

Slutty Casual

The outfit every guy wants to see you in. The one that says I’m here to chill but also here to party. Think short shorts and skinny Tops. Preferably showing boob and lower ass. The outfit you would have worn in college to a frat party but not to bring a frat boy home to your parents.

Hey girl I’m going to the Iota Eta Pie frat party and I wanna make the boys sweat without sweating myself. I’m thinking of dressing Slutty Casual.
