Inspiration to wear a casual chic look

Casual looks for women with a lot of style

Did you think that to be fashionable it was necessary to complicate yourself? ERROR. Most of the time (almost all) fashion is at odds with one's style, and there is nothing like staying simple when in doubt. Remember, less is more and these 15 casual looks prove it like no other.

A shirtmaker

Because it is the only garment capable of solving all your summer looks (in its long or short version), a shirt dress is what you need. Put one on and you will see how you don't need much more to add, except for some nice shoes and the odd matching accessories, like Karlie Kloss.

Black dress

Commonly known as a little black dress , it's one of your must-have wardrobe staples . You can wear it by itself or play with different combinations, as it is the perfect and versatile wild card like no other.

White dress

Another great piece capable of acting on its own, with no more adornments than necessary. Put on a white dress as beautiful as Gigi's and you will have your perfect casual chic look without added difficulty. Here you have more ideas on what the star white dresses of summer are like .

Jeans + Blouse

We agree that there is nothing more simple and casual than a pair of jeans, right? Take advantage of all its combination possibilities and add the touch of fair fashion, with seasonal patterned shirts, for example. Wearing patterns is easier with couples like jeans, which are simpler than none.

Jeans + crop top

We know what you are thinking and we also believed so. But we have discovered the wonderful way to wear a crop top without showing a belly (even with jeans) and now we can't stop wearing it. In addition, it is a 100% casual look with the sexy touch you are looking for.

A white top

Also with your jeans, the simplest way you will find is a basic white top or blouse. You can add the exceptional touch with a pair of pretty stilettos or with some scandal-heeled sandals. And you can rest assured, because the casual effect will remain intact.

Mini-dress

If full black and white bore you, you can always opt for a printed mini dress to which you don't add much else. Do like Olivia Palermo, who is the queen of New York casual and knows how to stay simple but with an expert level of elegant touch.

Mini monkey

Infidelity in sight: When you put on a jumpsuit, you'll want to replace most of your dresses. They maintain the essence of a short dress, but with that extra comfort that the other garment does not always give you. Which one do you prefer?

Bohemian dresses

Just as a black mini dress dresses the whole outfit on its own, a long dress with a certain boho air shares the same vocation. This is because it has such a special level of prominence that you want to keep it casual and not add much else to the ensemble. Especially if it has an integrated bardot neckline, which is trendy and flatters a lot.

Two summer pieces

Bet on integral white when you are not very clear about which colors to combine. Remember that whenever you have doubts in that regard, both black and white are the safest single-color bet of all. Ibizan air and casual chic : guaranteed.

Two halftime pieces

Look that you can do two things: include a black piece for a casual and spectacular two-tone look (like Blake's), or add a jacket in the same color as the skirt for a useful and simple mid-season look .

Print blouse

We know, you have very popular moles and you don't even know what to combine them with. Well, here's a trick: look at the color of the dots or polka dots and add an undergarment of the exact color. You will get a set as beautiful and elegant as Sindi.

Mid season, also casual

A somewhat confusing change in temperature is coming, because many times you do not know if it is too cold or too hot. For this, all the looks with previous jeans are valid, also adding a denim jacket as a wild card (just in case it refreshes).

Bermuda shorts and blazer

There is no two halftime pieces that we like more (and that is more casual chic ) than wide bermuda shorts in combination with a blazer (of the same or a different color). Look at how good that air is halfway between the executive and the fashionable street style .

Believe it or not, thinking that "to be beautiful you have to dress with the most current trends" is one of the 20 most frequent fashion mistakes. To look pretty, all you have to do is be true to your style, no matter what the runway dictates. Haute couture and designers' proposals are to inspire us, not for us to comply strictly with them without being barely convinced that we like them.

The same happens with overly exuberant looks , which make us think that to be a fashion victim you have to complicate yourself. When, in reality, casua looks are often great successes wherever you go. Less is always more and it sure is one of the advice your mother has always given you. Pay attention to him.

Casual chic looks for stylish women

First you have to burn yourself this: the looks 'less is more' (simple and basic) are always a success. Hence, we declare ourselves unconditional lovers of casual outfits , getting rid of any excess complications to offer a fresh, sophisticated and simple style.

There are many clothes with the casual label that you surely already have in your wardrobe (if you have already built your basic women's wardrobe) and that you can mix with each other to achieve the desired effect.

Black dress: essential
A few pairs of jeans
White dress: the summer option
Blazer, the more basic and smooth the better
Printed blouse and classic blouse (one of each)
Long dress with bohemian airs
Heeled shoes
Flat ballerinas
Flip flops

Put all this together, use each of these items as wild cards or combine them with each other. Remember to avoid complications, such as too baroque accessories or very colorful prints. With all this clear, you have your casual look assured.
