20 garments to create a casual look

White shirt with ruffles

If something identifies the fashion icon Carolina Herrera, it is a white shirt. A symbol of elegance and a demonstration that “less is more”. A good white shirt never fails, so we have selected this poplin and asymmetrical ruffles design from their CH Spring-Summer 2017 collection. Elegant but casual, perfect.

Striped shirt with pearls

Thanks to some bloggers and celebrities like Victoria Beckham, oversized shirts are now worn a lot. If they also have fine dark blue stripes and the buttons on the cuffs are pearls, they already become something more glamorous. It will help you create daily looks easily.

Zara, € 25.95

Straight jeans

Nothing like a pair of straight cut jeans. It is possibly the most versatile and sold garment. It fits in all tastes and wardrobes and is also always a trend, regardless of the season. So we suggest these Mango jeans to create as many looks as you can imagine.

Mango, € 25.95

Printed shirt

Another twist that can be given to the typical white shirt is to wear it with a flower print. We like the design and the price of this 100% cotton blouse. It is rounded at the hem, with side slits and slightly longer at the back. The yellow flowers will give light and color to your days. Ideal to wear with denim or white shorts.

Benetton, € 19.95

White jeans with embroidery

In summer, white jeans return, but this season if they have flower embroidery, much better. We love these, that you can wear a lot with whatever you want, tank tops, t-shirts, jumpers or shirts. They go great with slippers, sandals and wedges.

Dress shirt

The stripes are a classic that will last over time and the delicate bows at the cuffs add a feminine touch. It is straight cut, but if you want to enhance your figure it comes with a removable belt made of the same fabric.

A fresh, fine knit sweater never fails. It is ideal for those nights when the temperature drops a bit or when you are in the mountains or near the sea.
