How to Wear Dress Shirts More Casually

In the past few years, we’ve seen a movement away from the very strict suit, tie, shirt combination, and the modern man’s daily uniform has become a lot more casual and unique to his own style. That does not mean that we can’t still wear the dress shirts we love so much and just give them a little bit more of a casual touch and we used to. Today, in partnership with OLYMP, I want to show you 5 different shirts, styled without a tie, ready for a myriad of occasions.

The easiest thing to do is to simply ditch the tie and unbutton a couple of the top buttons. Here we have a gorgeous, classic light blue OLYMP No. Six shirt under a navy suit, styled exactly that way, and rounded out with a pair of white sneakers.

Next up a linen shirt… Actually two linen shirts, but let’s start with the white one: the OLYMP Level Five linen shirt is intrinsically more casual than your average cotton shirt, a great way to dress it down is untucking it, and wearing it with a blazer and raw denim jeans, rather than a full suit.

The other OLYMP linen shirt featured in today’s post has a beautiful blue color, which is just peaking out underneath the OLYMP Level Five sweater, another way to easily style a dress shirt more relaxed. Keep the shirt tucked in, throw a sweater up top, unbutton the cuffs and push up the sleeves a bit, a pair of dark jeans work just as well here.

Sticking with the blue story, we have a very sleek navy No. Six shirt from OLYMP next, an easy solution to the challenge is simply untucking the shirt, rolling up the sleeves, but maybe adding a pair of white jeans to make the whole look a little bit more interesting.

Last but not least, we have an achromatic look, combining a grey cardigan and a darker grey No. Six shirt, both from OLYMP, with a pair of black jeans and Chelsea boots. A cardigan, especially a slim fitting blazer cardigan like this, can be another great way to tone things down, while still working with the classiness of the dress shirt.
