“A man should look as if he’s bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them.”
–Sir Hardy Amie
American actor and Gucci spokesperson James Franco is proof that you can look stylish, smart, and spontaneous all at the same time. That’s the reason why his casual outfits are constantly setting fashion and style trends as much as his red carpet ones.

Below you’ll find 12 sophisticated and comfortable James Franco outfits that can inspire you and make you achieve the same stylish look.
1.

A vest and tie combination don’t necessarily have to make you look like a stony-looking adult. This is a classic and sophisticated combo that will make you look elegant and feel comfortable.
2.

Less is more. A leather jacket over a simple t-shirt is a fast and effective option. A jacket with plenty of zippers and pockets can give you a bulkier appearance.
3.

A flannel shirt with a pair of jeans, topped with a comfy blazer, is the perfect way to achieve balance between a lumberjack and sophisticated style.
4.

A long neutral color cardigan with a shawl collar neckline is everything you need to achieve a cool and authentic look.
5.

Black never goes out of style. If a casual but harmonious outfit is what you’re looking for, this color is always a good option. Just make sure you keep your outfit balanced, otherwise you’ll look rather shabby.
6.

If you want to create clean simple style, a plaid shirt over a plain tee worn with a pair of jeans are your best option!
7.

A pair of jeans with a plain t-shirt and a neutral color buttoned cardigan will give you a very comfortable, yet sober James Dean, Franco Style.
8.

You can also create your own style by coordinating different layers. Just pay special attention to avoid an overloaded outfit. Neutral colors are good allies in this case.
10.

Dare to break molds. Relaxed t-shirts and hoodies can look incredible with a business suit, you just have to experiment and play a little.
11.

A v-neck t-shirt and a pair of dark jeans will make you look fresh and relaxed while avoiding scruffiness.
12.

Trust your intuition and take risks! Nobody could have said it better than Diana Vreeland, the acclaimed Vogue editor: “Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.”
