Having a good rotation of casual shirts in your closet can be a huge benefit, especially for people who find it challenging to choose the proper clothing for daily outings.
If you like to plan your outfit, investing in simple, striking casual shirts that you can mix and match with a wide range of pants will help you create the perfect look.
To choose the right shirt for your wardrobe, ask yourself these questions. First of all, what occasions would you wear these casual shirts?
If you want more formal shirts, you must choose them accordingly. On the other hand, if you find a balance between formal and casual shirts, you will need a more flexible wardrobe. Secondly, ask yourself whether you want prints or textures on your casual shirts.
Many people prefer their casual shirts to look plain and straightforward. Third, reflect on the climate you will be wearing these shirts in so you can choose the fabric accordingly.

Shirt Outfits For Men
Light Blue Shirt + Beige Chinos + White Sneakers
Start with a simple blue shirt. Blue casual are a great option to pair with a simple outfit, as they look professional and organic.
You can also opt for something thicker, especially for fall and winter. The best thing about a blue shirt is that it can be styled in many ways.
You can pair a blue shirt like this with beige pants and a cream cardigan. The cardigan is an accessory that resembles a scarf in this outfit.
Black Casual Shirt + Blue Ripped Jeans + White Sneakers
It is impossible to discuss simple shirts without mentioning the best one: the black shirt. Black shirts are a phenomenal addition to any wardrobe and look great in all seasons and for various occasions.
You can pair a black shirt with something like pale grey jeans. You can also wear ripped jeans to add a touch of style.
You can complete it with a pair of white sneakers and dark tones. Black shirts look organic and stylish, so they do not need much accessorising.
Light Blue Shirt + Indigo Denim + Dark Brown Penny Loafers
Another way to style a simple shirt is to pair it with a brighter shirt. If you’re going to a more lively event, you might want to choose something in jewel tones.
But for a professional setting, consider choosing something in a simple pastel shade. Pastels reflect natural light, which helps it bounce off the shirt’s texture, making you stand out.
They’re a great addition to any wardrobe, especially when paired with darker jeans, which will bring out the colour. Finish the look with dark brown loafers.
White Pants + Navy Shirt + Brown Loafers
If you like darker colours and want to give your look a nautical feel, we recommend choosing something in simple navy blue.
The fabric of this shirt gives it an organic sheen, further enhanced by the contrasting white pants. By choosing these pants, you will notice they reflect the shirt’s darker colour.
So, even though the pants are white, they automatically take on a blue tint. Finish the look with a dark brown belt and brown loafers.
Black Pants + Light Blue Stripe Shirt + Black Formal Shoes
Another option is to go for a simple look. If you want this look to fit perfectly into the environment, go for a formal, minimalist, simple style.
Start with a simple, well-fitting blue formal shirt to look professional. Complete the look with slim black pants and black shoes.
You can make this look even more functional by adding an office bag to hold all the essentials.
