Dressing down business or formal attire is a lot easier than it sounds. Think minimalistic, yet stylish at the same time. I, for one, love combining blazers, sweaters, and waistcoats with t-shirts and tanks. Lets take it a step further by showing more skin than expected. I know you’ve seen me rock a suit without a shirt before. It’s a look! Check out how I dressed down business attire with a waistcoat and a pair of dress pants below:

OUTFIT #3

The Floral Printed Waistcoat

Fellas, ditch your dress shirt, and join in on all the bear chested fun this season. Luckily, I found this printed waistcoat at the Goodwill for $4. With its lightweight material and floral print, there’s no way I could pass up on going shirtless.

Dress Pants

I lucked up and found these high waisted, oversized dress pants hanging on a rack. Rather than paying $50 to $100 retail price, I spent $8.  What a steal! Plus, these pants were already tailored to my liking. No alterations needed today!

Part four coming soon!

Hawaiian shirts and denim shorts are one of my favorite pairings this season. Whether you prefer baggy or slim fit, you’ll have many options to chose from at the thrift store. I can usually put an entire outfit together for under $10. $10? Yes, it’s that cheap! Here’s how all the cool kids are thrifting this look below:

OUTFIT #2

The Hawaiian Shirt

Not only can you wear a Hawaiian shirt during any occasion, they’re super versatile (Tuck in for a retro fit or leave it out to elongate your torso)! Plus, you can find one in every color! Before they sell out, make sure you stop by the Goodwill and grab a few!

The Denim Shorts

If you’re a 90s type of guy like myself, denim shorts are the perfect staple. Similar to the Hawaiian shirt, the Goodwill has the best options with a variety of washes. Make sure you grab two or three pairs before the crowd catches on.

Part three coming soon!

Over the past couple of years, I’ve really stepped up my thrift game! Once upon a time, I was the person who left the consignment shop leaving discouraged, disappointed, and empty handed of course. Fast forward to 2021,  I’m in there every week, and creating entire looks (A complete 180). The secret: Do a little research before heading inside. You should always have an inventory of your current wardrobe. Ask yourself the following questions: What’s missing? What do you need to replace? What do I have room for? From there, you can determine which pieces, colors, prints, and fabrics you’re searching for.

That said, here is the first thrifted outfit I put together for this style guide:

OUTFIT #1

The Sweater Vest

Ditch your t-shirt fellas, and throw on an oversized sweater vest. With the gyms back open, it’s the perfect time to show off those arm muscles just in time for Memorial Day weekend! The price? I actually found this one at my local Goodwill for $4. In the mall, a sweater vest might run you anywhere between $15 to $100, depending on the quality. in short, I definitely saved on this one.

The Jeans

Finding a good pair of baggy jeans is like looking for a black cat in a coal cellar. It’s slim pickens! Luckily, I found these old GAP jeans hanging on one of the clothes rack at the Goodwill. The price? $8. Cheap, right? A good pair of jeans can cost over $100. Guess who wins again? The Goodwill! If baggy isn’t your thing though, you can find another pair that’s comparable.

Be on the lookout for the second outfit coming soon!

Take care,
