Correctly Match A Dress Shirt With Jeans (Most Men Mess This Up )

About this video

Centeno teaches men how to properly combine dress shirts with jeans by covering essential rules including understanding dress codes, matching fit, tucking in shirts, selecting appropriate denim, choosing casual dress shirt styles, and layering with jackets or sweaters. He emphasizes that while jeans are inherently casual, dressing up the denim and dressing down the shirt creates a balanced, cohesive look.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that jeans are casual garments and should not be worn in formal settings or with business formal dress codes, regardless of fit or color
  • Centeno recommends ensuring proper fit by having dress shirts tailored to fit well with fitted jeans, and always tucking in dress shirts with a belt
  • Centeno advises selecting darker, well-fitted denim in straight cuts without distressing, paired with more casual button-up or oxford-style shirts rather than formal dress shirts
  • Centeno suggests layering with sports jackets, blazers, sweaters, or cardigans to elevate the look, as layering generally improves the overall appearance
  • Centeno distinguishes between dress shirts, button-up shirts, and button-down shirts, explaining that dress shirts are formal while button-ups and button-downs are more casual and work better with denim
