2 Easy and Cheap Business Casual Style Upgrades for Men
About this video
McGoff teaches men how to elevate their style through attention to small details rather than expensive purchases. He covers proper shirt tucking techniques using shirt stays, distinguishing between casual and dress shirts, and solving common fit issues like sloppy plackets and collars using products like collar stays and shirt inserts.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that shirt stays (garters connecting socks to shirttails) are the most reliable method for maintaining a clean tuck throughout the day
- McGoff recommends understanding the difference between casual button-ups and dress shirts—casual shirts are shorter with softer collars and meant to be worn untucked, while dress shirts are longer with curved hems and meant to be tucked with jackets
- McGoff suggests using collar stays and Million Dollar Collar inserts to prevent sloppy plackets and collars, which he argues can ruin an otherwise solid business casual look
