Are these words mutually exclusive here in the UK? I suspect the same applies in the US, but hesitate to judge.
Italian and French men for instance can look superb in linen suits or chinos, loafers and smart open necked shirts.
Compare and contrast with the unattractive male look here of baggy knee length shorts or cargo pants, socks and sandals or clumpy trainers and bulging midriffs longing to escape from faded surfer t shirts or rugby shirts .
Then there is the female tendency to wear cropped trousers revealing veiny legs or the ripped jeans - usually too tight, stretched to death over ample rears, black “cold shoulder” tops (only good where a woman has good shoulders, not with a fat neck or dimpled elbows) scruffy trainers or those “all terrain” sandals or flip flops revealing dry scaly heels. Why do some people look as if they are dressing for the beach when they are in the Midlands and shopping on a Saturday afternoon?
OK not everybody looks like that, present company are clearly excepted, but let’s face it, the British do not do casual well.
