This has got to be one of the top few debatable questions in the World of men's style.

The answer to this typically depends upon an organization's culture. If your organization does not have specific clothing items listed as Business Casuals, many would treat jeans and tees as business casuals. But there are organizations that have defined business casuals as a Polo must.

When it comes to barebone definitions,

- Business Casual means business attire that is dressed down. That can be attained by chucking the tie off your suit or pairing an odd jacket. Business casual is not where you dress up your casual wear it is where you dress down your business wear. Read the previous sentence again!

- Jeans has always been a casual wear item. Yes, dark wash well-fitted denim can be dressed up and pass on as business casual but by the very nature of the denim material, a pair of jeans is a casual wear item. Please repeat, a pair of jeans is a casual wear item! (And if you are trying to dress your jeans up, don't you dare consider skinny jeans)

So the conclusion is the fact that jeans is a casual clothing item. It can be dressed up to fit the business casual environment based on your organization's culture. But in case clothing items for Business Casual attire are not explicitly defined and you are not aware of the organization culture, a pair of jeans shouldn't be your first choice.

Below are some jeans that are best choice when it comes to Business Casual,

You already know by now that we have you covered on everything about style be it suits or casual wear but recently a query hit the Urban Purush inbox which triggered this article on skinny jeans. And here is the million dollar question - Should men wear skinny jeans?

Urban Purush looks at this question similar to every other style of jeans. As mentioned in the article linked, Skinny Jeans are for skinny / thin men (who are most likely in their teenage). As simple as that!

If the skinny jeans are not super skinny and are infact at the border line of skinny and slim fit then men with athletic stature can pull them off as well. But most likely, there are better options for men’s jeans that will suit your body type than skinny jeans.


A few points to consider before making a decision to go with Skinny jeans are below,

- Skinny jeans are likely to grab viewer's attention to the lower part of body which is going to lead to the top section being perceived as heavy

- Based on your mid-section, skinny jeans may lead to the dreaded muffin-top look!

- Skinny jeans is basically a trend not a classic style. What's common between crocs, square-toe shoes, loose shirts and skinny jeans? They are/were all trends!

Remember to go over our article on the different types of jeans fit for more info! Also, tell us, do you wear skinny jeans?

Below are some suggestions of well fitting jeans, that will definitely work!

We have all been there. Urban Purush has time and again told you why shoes are important. We even listed the top 5 must have men's shoes to keep you informed. But what if we raise the bar and up the ante even further? What if we gave you just ONE shoe that must absolutely find its way in your wardrobe?

Confused? What about the casual and formal events? What about the Sunday brunch and night out with the boys? Are you saying there is just one shoe that can cover all of this?

Yes Sir! Enter the Chukka boots!


A true all rounder when it comes to shoes, chukka boots are your all year round and an all season shoe. Want to sport chinos during summers? Want to layer up and rock your denims in winter? Want to suit up? Chukka boots have you covered in all situations no matter what!

These ankle high length shoes with 2 to 4 eyelets often come in leather or suede. At the core of it, chukka boots are casual but can always be dressed up and that is why they will be your most versatile pair of shoes in the wardrobe

Another point to note here is that the chukka boots are not your typical shoes in trend. Unlike the ugly crocs, chukka boots are classics and have been in men's wardrobes for over 100 years. When you invest in chukkas you can be sure that they will not go out of style anytime soon

Below are some of Urban Purush's favorite picks,

Explore this look
Wearing casuals is sometimes a double edged sword. You want to appear casual and be able to ‘chill’ but you also want to look presentable at the same time. The good news is that your go to pair of jeans, a rockin' tee and sneakers can also be dressed up so that you can look your casual best without being overdressed. Below are our top 3 tips,

1. Upgrade the quality
Guys, quality is inevitable! There is no substitute for a good quality clothing item. It may be a tad expensive, but it’s much better to own one good quality pair of jeans than two cheap bad quality denims. Better quality will automatically take your casual look a notch above. Good quality casual wear is undoubtedly the first step to nail the casual game

2. The right fit
If you have been a follower of Urban Purush you already know the importance of why should your clothes fit perfectly. Considering how it is very likely that you are not looking to layer up to avoid ‘overdressing’, the right fit becomes all the more important as you have nothing to hide those ill-fitted baggy shirt! Understand your body type, understand the jeans fit and make the purchase decision accordingly. Buy skinny jeans if you are a teenager, buy slim fit if you have a slim body type but don’t buy slim fit if you are by no means slim!

3. Accessorize
Another opportunity to take up your look by a notch or two is to accessorize. We don't mean sporty wrist bands but a nice wrist watch that can definitely go a long way, you can always play with your socks with pop colors or adding an appropriate eyewear never did any wrong to anyone!

Gentlemen, you don’t always have to be suited up to look your best. Go out and be your casual best!
