This Is a Sweatpants-Free Zone: Dressing Casual, Not Sloppy

Find the Fit

Make sure your clothes fit your body. Sure, that general rule goes for anything you wear, but especially when it comes to casual outfits. “If something is too small or too big, it will not look right. Instead it will come off as sloppy,” says McGary. Finney recommends having clothes, even your casual ones like shorts, tailored if necessary. “Tailoring should alleviate a lot of sloppiness off the bat. It’s all about streamlining your look,” she says.
