A Man’s Guide on How to Look Stylish with Near-Zero Effort

In one of my latest Instagram stories, I showed you a fashion tour with my friend. Since he is going to turn 40 this month he wanted to find some trendy clothes and shoes for his upcoming birthday party keeping in mind his personal style.

We have found really nice polo neck, semi-elegant chinos, and sporty boots. In today’s post, I would like to show you how you can combine these three pieces with other types of clothes, creating different styles for various occasions.

How to wear a polo neck with a style?

Polo necks paired with chinos and classic short jackets give you a more elegant look. But you can also incorporate them into street-style looks by adding a leather jacket or parka.

Chinos for various occasions

Almost any pair of chinos will work with casual, smart casual and business casual outfits, and that makes them more versatile than jeans. You can create a more elegant look by adding a knitted or cotton striped sweatshirt/sweater and a classic coat. If you wish to go for a more sporty look, pair them with a denim shirt or cashmere hoodie. Adding a rucksack backpack and puffer jacket gives additional coolness to this look.

Winter boots to survive the season

When it comes to men’s winter boots, “stylish” isn’t necessarily topping your list of must have’s when shopping. But it can be fun too! Pair them with some nice knitted sweaters or a deathless lumberjack shirt! And speaking of lumberjack shirts they can be stylish too when you mix them with a high-quality t-shirt and some funky beanie.
