This is one of the best ways to make sure that the outfit you are sporting is versatile, functional and impactful. But as is often the case with outfits that offer so many benefits, there is one thing that you should keep in mind when it comes to styling something like this.

5 Casual Street Style Looks For Men
Outfit 1
There is no better way to start styling something, than going for a simple, cotton tee in a shade of white.
Tees in lighter colors, or dark neutrals make for a great addition to every wardrobe, especially since they can be combined with pretty much everything to create some of the best outfits.
Combine the tee with a pair of dark formal trousers, and tuck it into the pants. Make sure the waist of the trousers allows you to tuck in the white tee, and then leave some space for another element – the blue shirt that makes for the top layer.
Complete the look with a pair of white sneakers, and some dark shades.
Outfit 2
The other way to take a pale piece of clothing, and combine this with a contrasting darker element, but in the same color palette. This outfit uses a pale beige shirt, matching jacket and dark olive trousers, with a pair of white sneakers.
This is one of the best combinations because this outfit combines colors that are both contrasting and complementary. The beige of the shirt and jacket, and the dark olive of the trousers, are both earth tones, which is why they look so good together.
The overall fit of this look is quite relaxed and laidback, so keep that in mind when you are curating something like this.
Outfit 3
Another way of going about a contrast is styling something like this. The base of this look is the white tee, and the green jacket along with the brown corduroy trousers.
The white sneakers match with the white tee, using the whites to create a balance in the overall look. Looks like these are usually quite functional, so you can wear these across the seasons, and multiple different occasions.
The whole look, apart from the whites, is mostly on the darker side, so that will go better with winters. But the whites help add a lightness to the look, which makes it even more versatile.
Outfit 4
Another way of styling a white tee is going for a different kind of combination with earth tones. This is lighter than the previous look, but it is also quite versatile. You can go for a ochre yellow jacket for the upper layer, the base will help balance the richness of that color.
The white will have significant space in the look, so make sure you keep it spick and span. The trousers help add a darker, edgier color to the look. Finish the look with a pair of black sneakers, with some white detailing.
Outfit 5
Another way of curating a perfect, casual street style look is to go for something in a simple but striking contrast.
Go for a solid tee, but not a melange tee – you want the tee to not have as much texture, because that would be introduced through the trousers.
The trousers here have a fine, chequered pattern, and that complements the black tee. Complete the look with a pair of white sneakers.
