Summarize the following:
Casual pants that fit well are a staple in a male wardrobe, as they can be worn in most everyday situations. Jeans are the most versatile pant. They should be worn an inch or two lower on the waist than chinos or corduroys, about three to four inches below your navel. Jeans should have a consistent fit throughout the leg. Avoid jeans that are too tight in the thigh and loose under the knee. Slim-style jeans flatter most body types. Sweatpants are the most casual pant, usually worn in athletic or relaxing situations. When wearing sweatpants out in public, try brands that also make formal pants; they're more likely to fit slimmer and look better than the typical gym sweatpants found in discount stores. Pair sweatpants with other well-fitting clothes and a pair of high-end sneakers to avoid looking too aloof. Formal pants are important for presenting a clean, conservative look- perfect for the office and special events. Suit pants and dress trousers are the most formal pant option. The top of the pants should come to the top of your hip bone. They should fit well enough in the waist that you don't need a belt, but drape more loosely over the legs. Avoid wearing pleated pants, as they can add the illusion of extra weight, especially in the seat. Chinos and corduroys offer a more casual look than suit pants, but can still be worn in most professional environments. These should fit slimmer than suit pants and worn an inch or two lower on the waist. If you're wearing chinos in a conservative setting, opt for a slightly looser fit. If wearing casually, you can size them slimmer. You can tell when these pants are too tight if the pockets don't lay flat against the pants, creating "pocket flares." When shopping for chinos, keep in mind that the waist and seat tend to stretch with wear. Casual shirts, despite their informality, can look great when sized and worn correctly. They can be worn with chinos, jeans, or sweatpants. T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts are more casual than button-ups and sweaters. They should fit looser around the neck. If a shirt has a V-neck, the cut of the V should go no deeper than your sternum. A t-shirt or long-sleeved shirt should have a slim fit through the torso, a little looser than a button-up. The shirt should be long enough to cover the belt loops of your pants without going past the pants zipper. Longer, looser T-shirts are best for a laid-back vibe, while more fitted, shorter T-shirts look sleeker. Many T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts are made primarily of cotton, which shrinks easily when washed. Size up or hang dry your shirts to avoid shrinkage. Undershirts should be worn under other kinds of shirts. They should fit tighter than a T-shirt, and have the same kind of collar as the shirt you're wearing over it. Choose a color like gray that will match most kinds of shirts and be inconspicuous under other clothing. Dress shirts are another necessary staple in the male wardrobe. A well-fitted dress shirt rounds off an outfit to create a crisp, professional look. Button-up shirts can be worn for professional and casual situations. The collar of a button-up shirt should fit as closely to the neck without constricting it. The sleeves should fit well, without being too tight or too loose. The shirt cuff should come to where your wrist meets your hand. The body of the shirt should fit closely to your torso, without being skin-tight. A button-up should come down just past the belt loops in length. They should be worn tucked in to pants for a refined look; however, they can be worn untucked with jeans or chinos in a more informal climate. Sweaters can also be worn in both formal and informal settings. They should fit slim throughout the body. Thin sweaters can fit tighter while chunky sweaters can fit a little looser. Thin sweaters should be worn to your belt loops; thicker sweaters and cardigans can be worn long. Crew neck sweaters should allow plenty of room for your neck and a collared shirt underneath. The neckline ofV-neck sweaters should dip down no further than the middle of your sternum. Turtleneck sweaters should fit tighter in the neck, while shawl neck sweaters are loose in the neck. No one kind of sweater is considered more or less formal; they all can be worn in a variety of situations. Different clothes flatter different body types and have ways of making you look more masculine. To hide wider hips and thighs, wear tapered pants. To hide a bigger chest, wear tops with prints and asymmetrical patterns. To look taller and thinner, wear vertical stripes. To look less lanky, wear horizontal stripes. To slim your waistline, wear a belt. To look thinner, wear monochromatic colors. No matter the body type, buying clothes that fit properly will ensure you look your best in any men's outfit. Shoes can make or break an outfit, and are especially important to pair correctly with dress clothes. Oxfords- Lace-up shoes worn below the ankle, usually made of leather. Work best with a two-piece suit. Loafers-Slip-on shoes without laces, often made of leather. Less formal than oxfords. Can be worn with a suit or with more casual pants. Dress Boots- Usually made of leather and come in a variety of styles. Come up high on the ankle and lace up. Should not be worn with a suit, but can be worn with chinos, corduroys, or jeans. There is a wide range of casual men's footwear options, varying in comfort and functionality. Saddle Shoes- Similar to Oxfords, but have a layer of leather over the instep of the shoes, making them two-toned. Should not be worn with a suit, but can be worn with any kind of pants. Top-Siders- Also called "boat shoes." Have a moccasin-style and thick rubber bottom. Can be worn with or without socks and work best with chinos, corduroys, jeans, or shorts. Should only be worn in the summer. Canvas Shoes- Usually describes sneakers with a canvas body and rubber sole. Can be low on the ankle or come up high over the ankle. Able to be worn with chinos, jeans, or shorts. Converse All-Star sneakers are the stereotypical example. Casual Loafers- Slip-on shoe, distinctive from the dressy version by a heavy, rubber sole. Can be worn with or without socks, with chinos, jeans, or shorts. Sandals- Open-toed shoes that protect the bottom of the foot while allowing open circulation on the top and sides. Flip-flops are a popular type of sandals. Work best with chinos, jeans, and shorts, and are most appropriate in warm weather. Athletic Shoes- Sneakers that are usually made entirely of rubber, especially on the sole. Should be worn mostly with activewear and only in athletic and very casual instances. Work Boots- Heavy-duty, solidly-made boots made to withstand long hours working outside. Commonly referred to as "construction" boots. Should only be worn during labored tasks such as yard work or moving heavy items. Hiking Boots- Come up high to support the ankle, are well-cushioned, and lightweight. These are the best footwear for outdoor sporting events in rough terrain. Buy men's shoes in a size and a half smaller than what you wear in women's shoes. For example, if you're typically a size 7 in women's shoes, try a 5.5 in men's shoes.
