Mens Casual Suits - The Modern Leisure Suit

Posted by Aaron Sarfati on Jul 20, 2023

For times that you need or want to get dressed up but don't feel like going all the way and wearing a traditional style mens suit and tie, you may want to consider wearing Mens Casual Suits. Casual style mens suits are modern day leisure suits that hearkens back to the 1970s and consists of a mens shirt made of suit fabric and matching pair of pants in the same suit fabric. These casual style suits either come long sleeve or short sleeve for the warmer months and come in a huge variety of colors and fabric patterns.


Pretty much any fabric that is made into mens fashion suits is made into mens casual style suits. Designers get very creative with designing walking suits because they are able to add different types of pockets or trimmings that may not be as easy to incorporate into mens fashion suits. They may use contrasting colors on the collars or use fancy looking buttons. Pretty much anything goes when designers come up with ideas for their latest season's creations. Mens casual suits will usually come with baggy pants and double pleats if that is the current style of the day. It is rare that you would even find them with slim fitting flat front pants.

Down south, most men refer to casual looking ensembles as walking suits. While matching outfits are usually worn with mens fashion style dress shoes such as Stacy Adams or Giorgio Brutini or some other type Italian style shoes including Crocodile shoes and Alligator shoes, but there are some men who prefer to wear either fashion leather loafers or driving moccasin shoes with them.

This may sound obvious but you should try to match the color of your dress shoes to your attire. Because generally these ensembles are all one color or color theme. There won't be really any way to contrast the colors like you can wearing a mens fashion suit with contrasting color shirt and shoes. While some men wear them, one thing you shouldn't wear with these casual themed suits are casual looking moccasin shoes because they will kill the elegance of the casual suit. I personally don't care for that look because it just makes the look too dressed down. Keep it dressy and let the good times roll.
