One questions that I get asked all the time & it drives me absolutely insane is, "Why are you so dressed up!?" Whether it is grabbing lunch, going to see a movie, running errands, or any other casual activity, I always get asked that! It is not difficult to look put together AND comfortable! For me, all of the styles below are casual, comfortable & chic & I am going to show you how to put together fashionable relaxed looks!
First things first, you always, ALWAYS need to dress for your body type! I will never ever try a trend that does not suite my body... but I will tailor it to my body shape. You will not be comfortable in anything that you wear, if it is not properly styled to your body. Start simple, comfy denim jeans with a light wash & a laid back soft sweater paired with a fun piece of jewelry = epitome of easy, yet feminine...
Mastered that? Try adding patterns to your comfy look. Not much is changed with this next look, besides a striped T-shirt & you are trying a new trend, boyfriend jeans...
Moving on... While still looking casual, try adding pops of color to a casual outfit. You will know when too much is too much & start with a color that looks best on you! Pair simple accessories to the adornments on your belt or buttons (i.e. gold belt buckle, try gold hoops & a gold bangle) & you still manage to look casual, yet very chic...
Color not your thing? If you are more into neutral shades like, black, gray, tan, brown etc... Use those as your main foundation to work with. Mix different shades of neutrals together & layer them. To include a little chic-ness to your look, add simple jewelry or tie on a scarf...
Let's try putting the whole look together! Denim, patterns, pops of color, matching accessories= so simple!
You do not need to neglect style to be comfortable or casual! These styles would all take the same amount of time it would take to throw on sweatpants! Try it!
Personally I adore your style! Well according to what outfits you put together on this post. I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up a bit if that is your personal style. Why dress down if that isn't you.
