The brief

Dressing for a casual day out

A good casual outfit is comfortable enough to forget about and polished enough to walk into a café or a friend's house without a second thought. The trick is one intentional piece: good shoes, a great jacket or a sharp bag.

  1. 1Pick a base: jeans, a midi skirt or a simple dress.
  2. 2A neutral top or knit.
  3. 3Walkable shoes: sneakers, flats or ankle boots.
  4. 4One point of interest: a bag, a jacket or a colour.

Questions

Quick answers

Can casual still look put together?

Yes: keep colours to neutrals plus at most one accent, and make sure everything fits. Fit does more than any single item.

What colours are easiest for casual outfits?

Navy, grey, white, olive and denim blue all pair with each other, so nearly any top goes with any bottom.

How many pieces do I need for a casual wardrobe?

Around ten: two pairs of trousers or jeans, four or five tops, one layer and two pairs of shoes already make dozens of outfits.

What shoes go with a casual dress?

White sneakers, flat sandals or ankle boots. Save heels for when you want the dress to look dressier.

How do I make jeans and a tee look better?

Tuck the tee in at the front, add a belt and one structured piece like a blazer or a good bag.
