You have to strike the perfect balance between casual and chic.
This means you have to be mindful of a lot of things. Street-ready outfits have to be put together in keeping with the seasons. And because you are going to be outdoors, you would have to make sure that your outfit can handle the dustiness and the business of the streets. So not only do you have to look effortlessly chic, you also have to wear fabrics that are flexible and breathable. and there would be a lot of eyes on you.
Check out these five street style outfit ideas for when you step out next.
5 Street-Ready Outfits For Men
Outfit 1 - Black trouser + Green button down shirt + White sneakers
If you are looking for an outfit that can go from a casual work-fit to a café date-fit, this would be perfect for you. Outfits like this work well both in the day and the night.
Notice how the dark emerald-green tone of the shirt and the dark, tapered trousers are balanced and contrasted by the white buttons and white sneakers? The outfit is very neat, but the darker tones give it a slight edge.
Style this with classic shades and a silver-toned watch, and you would hit the golden ratio of street-style – from the open-collared tailored shirt to the fitted trousers.
Outfit 2 - Olive green joggers + Black crew neck t-shirt + Black sneakers
If you want something that is more casual and sportier but also well-balanced and chic, consider outfits like this. There is very little space to go wrong with it – the color scheme is simple and classic, the trousers flexible and breathable, and the round-neck tees are a staple of most wardrobes.
Just keep three things in mind. One, make sure the tee is only slightly oversized and not too roomy. Two, make sure the drawstrings are balanced on either sides, or you would come across as shabby. And three, accessorize to add some edge, but don’t over-do it.
Outfit 3 - Black trousers + White crew neck t-shirt + White sneakers
Who can go wrong with a white tee? It didn’t get to be a classic for nothing. Throw a white tee into any outfit, and your look is immediately elevated by its vintage-but-evergreen appeal. This is a perfect outfit for the summers, balanced with the dark grey trousers.
If you want, you can add a slight dash of color with your sneakers, like the minimalistic, but unmissable stripe of red in the shoes here. You can also work this outfit into a business-casual look if you throw a classic dark grey jacket that complements the trousers. The white tee will make it work.
Outfit 4 - Black skinny jeans + White crew neck t-shirt + Camo Jacket + Brown Boots
You see why we obsess over the versatility of the white t-shirt? It can be the fundamental building block of any outfit. Paired with an earth-toned camouflage print, well-fitted trousers and classic suede boots, this is an outfit that can be worn on work trips, a day around the city, or even a date.
This is a look that exudes both effortless charm and timeless confidence, and can be worn by people of any age. Just make sure you do not accessorize it too much. Camouflage prints are quite eye-catching, and adding more to it can make it look too busy. Go with time-tested accessories instead – a simple watch and dark shades.
Outfit 5 - Beige trousers + White crew neck t-shirt + White sneakers
Pulling off an all-white outfit requires a lot of confidence, but if you can do it, it will grab eyeballs for all the right reasons. The key to getting an all-white outfit like this right is knowing that “less is more”. You cannot be too desperate to break the monochrome, because the monochrome is what holds its appeal.
You can try a simple dark brown belt, like the one here. But leave it at that, and use fewer accessories. An outfit like this is perfect for the summers, and can work like a charm if you are going for a casual lunch date. Since this is all white, be mindful of the dust on the streets.
