How to dress in a casual chic look?
What is casual?
We can say that the casual look is THE style that all women are looking for today, very fashionable and trendy. It corresponds to a very feminine, relaxed look and is in total agreement with the lifestyle of working girls and business women who are often in high demand, very busy and who have no time . Feeling comfortable and elegant is the trend of the moment and this is likely to continue for a while!
The casual look is a hybrid style that lies between casual and chic. Forget unpleasant materials and heels to appear dressed every time you go out. This look was born as part of the changes in consumption and lifestyles of women who have their place firmly anchored in working life and who multiply personal projects. Between personal and professional life, this look combines casual pieces with more formal pieces for a comfortable and cool look.
Working women are the inspiration for this new look. The casual look has no age or appropriate body shape, all women are in the spotlight. Blazer and sneakers are within reach of all working girls and bring that touch of modernity without going overboard so that you look your best at all times. A current, young and trendy style created by the gap between elegant and casual classic pieces!
It's the perfect basic style to be classy without being stuffy. It gives you that chic and elegant look naturally. Thanks to the casual look you will feel well dressed every day, for your shopping, at work, an evening with friends or even an unexpected meeting with your little family anywhere and anytime!
The key pieces
• the long wool coat that we love and which goes well with our best tops. Your accomplice in the coolest days of spring but also your little extra that enhances your outfits.
• A trench coat with its matching belt that suits both men and women. This unisex side that we see everywhere, especially with androgynous models increasingly in the spotlight, is perfect for enhancing your super casual look.
• THE cashmere sweater , which we all dreamed of stealing from our mother when we were young and which we now have in our most beautiful wardrobe, with its ultra comfortable material which we wear in spring as well as in winter. We don't ban the sweatshirt either because it can quickly become too casual, but we prefer the cashmere sweater which goes with everything, for everyone and at all times: Indeed, the cashmere sweater has no age!
• A black blazer to give you that sartorial elegance in all circumstances: It is the basis of the outfits of all working girls , simple and effective. We pair it with everything, in the evening or during the day, jeans or a cocktail dress.
• The iconic basic little black dress , simple, comfortable and easy to wear. We have all already adopted it for its comfort. We can no longer count how many times it has been declined, long or short, and with a very varied number of accessories with which we can enhance it. This is our favorite of this selection.
• Dress pants , or silk jogging pants, if you like to have a dressy look. If you are more comfortable in pants to go to the office, opt for chinos or leather bottoms combined with a t-shirt and a small cardigan for a casual style. Absolutely avoid pants that are too tight or too tight in which you will not be comfortable!
• Jeans that make you look your best. Jeans are considered a casual item, easy to mix with a little printed top: the patterns are very trendy, a bag and a pair of branded sneakers to stay up to date.
• The cotton sailor top can be worn alone in summer and with a cardigan in spring, but it can also be worn under a jacket in winter: whether it's a black leather perfecto, a camel trench coat or a black blazer.
• A white or sky blue shirt: avoid colors or prints. This is the outfit item to adopt for a comfortable but smart casual look. The shirt is the essential top that suits both women and men (even if we prefer them with their little polo shirt and chino pants).
• A timeless leather handbag. We will only have one comment: the colored bags add their little touch with their electric or romantic side. Let yourself be tempted to discover the mini bag trend.
