12 Essential items to wear a casual look

Olivia Palermo

New York's most stylish fashionista, Olivia Palermo, knows how to get the most out of her wardrobe. This style is casual because it combines sports shoes with black jean and a basic white t-shirt. Without a doubt, what makes it special is the white blazer.

A white blazer is a smart purchase that will last you for years and will last for several seasons. It is super versatile and dresses more any casual look. But also, it looks great with elegant dresses and pants.

Selena Gomez

The singer with the most followers on Instagram has become a goddess of street style in recent months. Here, in a very casual way, she wears a midi dress with flowers, specifically daisies, on a light blue color. We really like how she has combined it with sneakers and her hair up.

The low cost option

This is our version of the blue flower print dress. It has a flowing fabric, an elastic waist, a midi length, ruffles on the sleeves and a low back that seems ideal. You can wear it with sports shoes like Selena, with flat sandals on hotter days or high wedges for a more special occasion. That's how versatile it is.

Jeans with embroidered flowers are in every shop window this season. We love how model Bella Hadid wears them here, paired with a matching denim jacket.

Something Navy

Ok, we already know that the white shirt is an essential garment. Now, how about adding ruffles? We see the trend of ruffles in all shop windows, and applied to all garments, from jeans to skirts and tops. We really like how the Something Navy blogger wears, in a very casual way, this white shirt with ruffles on the chest.

Perkins collar shirt

You can recreate the look with this Stradivarius shirt. It has V-shaped ruffles on the chest, shoulders and back and it has a perkins neckline that gives it even more volume.

Gigi hadid

Thanks to the athleisure trend, joggers, which used to be worn only to be at home or to the gym, are now comfortable and appropriate to wear in the city or, better yet, to travel. Supermodel Gigi Hadid wears them wide-boot, paired with a tight black top and white Reebok sneakers.

Jogging pants with rope

We have selected these gray jogging pants from Topshop. We love the red braided cord on the sides, it makes a nice contrast. It adjusts at the waist for a perfect fit. Wear them with sneakers and a tighter basic top and you will succeed.

Topshop, € 50

Emily Ratajkowski

If you want something a little sexier, then model Emily Ratajkowski can serve as inspiration. She usually wears low-cut tops and daring dresses. We were inspired by this off the shoulder crop top.

Ruched blouse

If you like the idea of off the shoulder for summer but you don't like the crop top cut, stick with this version. It's long sleeves, it has a flared hem and gathered at the neckline and cuffs. It is loose, so it will be comfortable and cool.

Maje, € 150

Kendall jenner

Wearing shirts with horror movies or rock bands from the 80s and 90s is very in . It seems that supermodel Kendall Jenner is a fan of the neo-noir film Mulholland Drive (2001) if we trust her look and the shirt she wears.

Kiss t-shirt

If you were a fan of a rock band from the 70s and 80s, you probably loved Kiss. Decades later, the image of its members is still iconic enough to be worn on a T-shirt. So we opted for this version of Pull and Bear.

Pull and Bear, € 15.99

Aimee Song

The Song of Style blogger knows that denim dresses are ideal for spring and can be worn in a myriad of ways. She has opted for a bib style, strappy design, with a midi length and a delicate lace hem. In addition, it wears a low-cut top underneath to give it the effect of sleeves.

Denim bib dress

We have found this model very similar to our inspiration at H&M. It features a midi length, bib buttons from the chest to the bottom of the skirt and adjustable straps. We know that bibs are not for all body types, but this one has a snug top for a better figure. Wear it with sneakers or high wedges.

H&M, € 39.99

Paula Echevarría

If you want to go casual and comfortable but have everyone turn to look at your look, a long dress with a flower print is a good option. This is how the Spanish actress Paula Echevarría takes it. She has combined it with high wedges.

Long printed dress

To break out of the typical floral prints a bit, we've included this gingham and cashmere print dress that makes an ideal contrast for the season. It is straps, with a V-neckline and ties on the sides. You will make a difference.

Trucco, € 79.95

Wearing a casual style does not mean going untidy, quite the opposite, you can go casual but with a lot of style.

There are many essential garments to achieve a look that is comfortable and versatile for day to day. Consider a nice white button-down shirt, message tee, white sneakers, patched bomber jacket, and floral prints for summer. These are just some of the ideas for creating a variety of looks.

You can make an elegant dress casual if you combine it with Converse sneakers, or on the contrary, you can make it more formal if you combine it with a fine white blazer.

Street style inspiration

We have looked for casual clothes for the season, and for this we have been inspired by the street style of celebrities and bloggers like Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez , to get ideas of how to wear them. Our selection will help you create stylish looks with what you already have in your closet. Although if you are looking for new trends, we propose some designs that have come directly from the shop windows.

Attentive to the gallery! Surely you will run to a long floral dress to wear casually like the actress Paula Echevarría, or change your classic white shirts for an oversize cut, like Victoria Beckham. Maybe you end up with a T-shirt from the Rolling Stones, Kiss, or your favorite movie, like supermodel Kendall Jenner, or find a white blazer to wear over your basic tops, like Olivia Palermo does.

We have also thought about white sneakers, they are casual and give a lot of style. Look at the Stan Smith or Superstar from Adidas, or the Nike and Reebok. We were inspired by a look by model Behati Prinsloo, wife of Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, to opt for the high-cut white Converse.

In the end, we all have a personal style that we can update with new ideas and trends. In the gallery you will get designs for the daring and the conservative.

And remember that wearing a casual look is not only for Fridays, you can wear it every day in different ways.
