The (New) Laws of Casual Style

The (New) Laws of Casual Style - Esquire

While I'd argue that Esquire advocates a bit too heavily for the casual end (and painful passing trends--red chinos, really?!), I imagine it's only fitting for a "laddish" magazine. That being said, a few items to highlight:

8. The 1950s and 60s were the high points of casual. Everything before and after was hit-or-miss.
9. Fitted is good. Snug is dicey. Tight is just wrong.
28. Sweatpants are for sick days, couch surfing, and light exercise. For anything else, throw on a pair of jeans and get on with it.
48. The best jeans have five pockets. The best khakis have four. Anything more or less and you’re asking for trouble. Oh, and 1998 called: It wants its cargo pants back.
51. Speaking of: We’re not sure what Americans did to deserve Crocs, but whatever it was, we’re sorry. We’re really, really sorry.
64. A hood knocks ten years off your age and twenty points off your IQ.
