Casual does not have to mean careless. A few well-chosen pieces make relaxed outfits look put together.
Versatile basics
- Well-fitting jeans in a dark wash.
- Plain t-shirts in neutral colors.
- A crisp white or striped shirt.
- A tailored blazer or structured jacket.
- A simple knit sweater or cardigan.
- A casual dress that works with sneakers or sandals.
- Clean white sneakers, loafers or flat ankle boots.
Styling tips
- Fit first: good fit makes simple clothes look polished.
- Layer: add a blazer, denim jacket or scarf.
- Add one statement piece: bold earrings, a printed scarf or a bright bag.
- Tuck and roll: a front tuck or rolled sleeves adds shape.
- Coordinate colors: a neutral base with one accent color is easy to wear.
Outfit ideas
- Weekend brunch: jeans, a striped top, loafers and a crossbody bag.
- Casual office day: tailored trousers, a knit top and a blazer.
- Errands: a midi dress, a denim jacket and sneakers.
Care
Keep basics in good condition by following care labels, and replace items that look worn.
