How can women get a casual look?

This is when brands such as Levi Strauss, Converse and Lacoste emerged on the scene. Not to mention that it’s also when Coco Chanel liberated women from the corset and began to incorporate athletic wear in her collections. It was then that the idea that clothes should adapt to our lifestyles began to come alive.

Casual wear fits in our day-to-day lives, whether it’s going to the office, running errands or grabbing a happy-hour drink with friends. The key is choosing garments that are comfortable, functional and versatile enough for any of these occasions.

Fill your wardrobe with practical and timeless basics like T-shirts, jeans, cardigans, slightly oversized shirts and parkas.

Choose neutral colours like white, grey, blue, black, maroon, khaki or brown, and avoid prints in order to easily mix and match outfits.

Soft and elastic fabrics like denim and knit will give you the freedom to move and breathe, especially for a casual summer look.

Comfortable footwear is essential to finish off the look and achieve that effortless touch. Trainers, slippers, military boots, loafers or mules are a sure-fire hit.
