Easy Casual: 15 Outfits to Wear to Five Guys

By Shelby Bonner Feb 09, 2024

The fast-food burger chain Five Guys has been around since the 1980s, making it relatively newer compared to a lot of other burger chains that started in the 1950s. Still, it grew quickly having over 1400 locations in the United States and over 1700 locations worldwide including Europe and Asia.

Being a more casual establishment, it is easy to assume any casual outfit can be worn to eat in at Five Guys. Casual can mean anything from jeans to sweats or pajamas. Casual also does not mean you should skip on looking clean and presentable.

Whether you are dining at Five Guys for a quick meal, a first date, or any other handful of reasons, consider a more stylish alternative that is still casual and easy to obtain. Any outing, including grabbing a burger is an opportunity to show your best self and your style.

Simple Jeans and a T-Shirt

For a casual place like Five Guys, a casual look like jeans and a T-shirt is an obvious choice that will help you blend in while still looking nice. Jeans and a T-shirt are also not a one-size-fits-all option. There are a variety of colors, styles, and combinations to choose to best show off your personality and style.

Wear Your Work Gear

If you are stopping in for a quick lunch, there is no issue with wearing your work gear, whether it is a pantsuit for an office job or a uniform for your trade. Just make sure it is clean and appropriate and make sure to grab a napkin so you don’t spill on it.

Cute Date Outfit

Five Guys is an accessible, public place for a date whether it is your first date or one of many. You can still get a little bit dressed up for your date if you like. For guys, consider a polo and khakis instead of shorts or jeans and a T-shirt.

For girls, consider a cute shirt dress or romper with a pair of flats and a few of your favorite accessories. You will look extra good for your date without looking out of place.

Romper

A romper is a versatile, easy outfit that can be worn for any season and any part of the day. It is a complete outfit on its own, or can easily be layered under a jacket, cardigan, or sweater. It is a great base layer to add a bag to, accessories, and jewelry depending on how much effort you want to put in.

You Can Still Wear Sweats

Being a casual place, you won’t look out of place if you walk in with a pair of sweats. However, make sure your sweats are stain-free, hole-free, and clean. Dressing casually does not mean being unkempt. Consider a matching sweat pair for a more put-together look with your favorite pair of sneakers.

Oversized Blazer

Athleisure has become a popular choice to wear not just in the gym. There are a variety of cute styles and patterns that also help keep you cool and comfortable. If you do choose to wear athleisure for daywear, make sure that yours is not see-through or too revealing.

A good style rule is to wear modest bottoms if your top is more revealing or a more modest top if your bottoms are more revealing.
