As much as some women would love to dress up in fabulous dresses and killer heels each day, there are certain times in our lives when a casual outfit is much more appropriate for the tasks at hand, or even for the comfort factor. But that isn’t to say that any casual outfit of the day you put together has to be boring or unimaginative. There are far more styles and trends around to really enable you to up your game when it comes to a casual outfit. With that in mind, here are some top tips to help you. From trends to look out for to ultimate combinations, you won’t go far wrong.

 

Comfort isn’t boring

Some people assume that wearing a casual outfit is not only the comfortable choice, but it can be a little safe and boring. But comfort doesn’t necessarily mean this. A casual look can be just as smart and professional looking, or indeed glamorous by how you piece each item together. That might mean wearing trainers and skinny jeans on your bottom half. But team that with a crisp white shirt and a blazer and you have totally transformed the look. Casual means you can mix the styles together and have quite a bit of fun with your choices.

Why not add some sports chic to your outfit?

Fashionable activewear and sportswear is something we see more of, and you can totally rock the trend in a casual outfit format. Mix some elements of classic styles like a hooded top or tracksuit pants, and mix them with other styles. However, even just rocking the sports chic look is on point at the moment.

Consider a capsule wardrobe that can easily be mixed and matched

Sometimes when it comes to casual clothes, there are too many options in your wardrobe. This can result in you wearing the same things over and over. It’s a great idea to create something called a capsule wardrobe showcasing key pieces in this trend. You could then mix and match the items together to create different looks. It’s a time-saving way of ensuring you are thinking more of the style, rather than choosing the same combination of clothes.

Accessories will really make an outfit shine

The way you accessorize your outfit, is the difference between it looking good, and looking fabulous. The right bag, shoes, jewelry, even your makeup can make the biggest difference to your outfit. Jewelry can often be the key, and sometimes it is what is underneath that can also help to add a bit of glam to an outfit, such as a belly button bar on show when wearing a cropped top.

Don’t be afraid of colour, but make sure it suits your undertones

Finally, using colour in your outfits is a great way to turn something quite bland into an outfit that is spectacular. However, the key is to find the right colour choices to suit your undertones. This might be warmer colours or cooler ones. There are plenty of tips online on how you can discover the best colours for you.

Let’s hope this has given you some extra things to think about when it comes to your outfits.
