Casual outfits
for women

Dress in casual confidence with outfits that pair your personal fashion with a put-together ease. Whether heading to the office, running errands, or catching up with friends, casual clothing is all about feeling your best so you can be your best. Casual looks are also an opportunity to showcase your sense of style in a lowkey, low-stakes setting. Hoodies, t-shirts, sweaters, and trainers can all look considered and contemporary when combined in the right way.

 

Read on to discover all the casual outfit tips a woman needs to create carefree and stylish looks to match the season.

What does it mean to dress casually?

Dressing casual means wearing (almost) anything you feel most comfortable in. That is not to say that you can’t still look your best: looking casual and being stylish are not mutually exclusive. The key is to find outfits that look effortless while still feeling well put-together.

 

Casual outfits for women could mean anything from jeans and a t-shirt in summer to a puffer jacket and sweater in winter. Quality fabrics, complimentary pieces and relaxed fits are all important when it comes to creating a harmoniously casual ensemble.

 

For day-to-day living, let your own sense of style (and the inspiration you find here) guide you. However, for a workplace or big occasion, there might be some restrictions. A certain dress or tailored outfit might feel more like "smart casual" to you but that might be exactly what a more conservative business place considers "casual."

Casual summer outfits for women

Make the most of the warmer weather with a range of casual summer outfits for women that will have you looking and feeling like a breath of cool air.

 

EFFORTLESS SUMMER DRESSES

  • Embrace the summer heat with a flowing summer dress and look your best without breaking a sweat.
  • Some casual dress outfit ideas to consider include incorporating contemporary floral prints in seasonal tones of pinks, oranges, and greens, worn loose and sleeveless, and with plissé pleats for a carefree aura. Or go structured with long sleeves, elasticated cuffs, and a belted waist for a more defined silhouette.
  • If summer dresses feel too much like dressing up, then consider a loose-fitting and understated t-shirt dress, combining the elegant form of a midi-length dress with the pared-back fashion of a short-sleeved tee.

 

CHIC TEES AND TOPS

  • Casual wear outfits for ladies often mean ditching those tailored blazers and structured blouses in favor of more relaxed short-sleeve t-shirts and tops. However, it does not have to mean sacrificing a stylish look.
  • Cotton-jersey blends offer a quality look while still allowing the wearer to breathe easy in the summer sun. Block tonal colors make it straightforward to pair your preferred understated bottoms while adding a simple focal point to your outfit. White, relaxed-fit tees are also staple summer wear and make for a look that is light and clean.
  • For a more distinctive silhouette, consider other ladies' casual clothes like a cropped V-neck crop top in a lightly ribbed knit, long-sleeve tops crafted from breathable mesh, or full-length sleeveless designs that fall beneath the waistline.

 

STYLISH SHORTS AND TROUSERS

  • Looking casual means feeling comfortable, even when the sun is at its hottest. Leave those full-length trousers at home because this is the time for skirts and shorts.
  • A pair of shorts lends an outfit a more active look and summer-ready fabrics like linen can accentuate that easy-going vibe even further. Mini skirts maintain the same relaxed silhouette while also making a woman’s casual outfit seem dressier and more structured. Not sure what the day calls for? Get the best of both worlds with a modern skort design and create a versatile outfit designed for city living.

 

GLAMOROUS SUMMER FOOTWEAR

  • Comfortable sneakers, strappy sandals, and ready-for-action slides are the order of the day when it comes to casual summer outfits for women.
  • Slides are just right for going about your day in and around the home. Keep them ready for a surprise drop-in or a quick run to the shops with a modern and practical double strap design and rubberised soles that feel light underfoot while still looking the part.
  • For an always-on-the-go lifestyle, sneakers are a girl’s best friend. Whether strolling about town, joining a neighbourhood BBQ, or enjoying a day by the seaside, trust in a pair of sneakers, with a bold but understated design, to get you through the day in casual style.
  • Alternatively, for a look that feels casually elevated, invest in a pair of open-toe sandals, either as flats or in a low heel. Sandals pair perfectly with a simple summer dress, a skirt, or even jeans, and can create a more elegant feel while still being relaxed.

Women's casual winter outfits

Winter casual outfits for ladies mean one thing: layers. From the perfect winter coat to a practical and outfit-defining pair of boots, winter opens so many opportunities for looks that are as stylish as they are cozy.

 

ELEGANT COATS AND JACKETS

  • Once the nights draw in and the mercury drops, you know the time has come to wrap up warm. From casual full-length coats to laid-back winter jackets, curating the perfect casual outfits is made easier than ever for ladies when you can pull a whole look together with your favorite outerwear.
  • So beat the cold and make a statement with a coat that is as practical as it is stylish. Consider a relaxed-fit trench coat crafted from super-soft wool and styled with timeless sartorial accents like peak lapels, double-breasted buttoning, and a waist belt.
  • Alternatively, keep your look dynamic and uber-casual with a quilted puffer jacket made from water-repellent materials and finished in bold seasonal tones for those grayest of winter days.

 

COSY KNITWEAR ESSENTIALS

  • Feel at your casual best by pairing your overcoat with an irresistibly soft sweater or cardigan. There are plenty of styles and fits to choose from for women looking for inspired casual outfit ideas:
  • A roll-neck sweater offers a similar structured and elongated silhouette as a turtleneck but with a more relaxed fit. Oversized knitted sweaters crafted with a thick yarn have the advantage of being extremely comfortable while also offering a casual and more personal style.
  • Otherwise, an understated cashmere cardigan can be put on or taken off on the fly, allowing you to regulate your temperature between the harsh outdoors and cozy interiors.

 

LUXE HOODIES AND SWEATSHIRTS

  • The pinnacle of casual wear for ladies, no feeling quite equals that of coming home and swapping out your work clothes for your favorite baggy hoodie or sweater. However, with the right quality materials and a relaxed but still flattering fit, there is no need for the hoodie to stay housebound.
  • Think super-soft cotton terry or active-ready stretch jersey, classically designed with an oversized kangaroo pocket or zipped up with polished metal hardware. Finished in seasonal tones or kept simple with an all-black design: keeping your look on the downlow while still looking effortlessly composed.

 

WINTER BOOTS WITH STYLE

  • The winter season and a pair of well-crafted boots go together like carolling at Christmas time. Forget uncomfortable heels or pointed-toe flats, 'tis the season where style and comfort become one.
  • An ankle-high pair of boots with a chunky sole can get you wherever you need to be, be that the grocery store, the school run, or a brisk evening walk, no matter the weather. While a pair of quilted leather boots can pair perfectly with a warm puffer jacket for a women’s casual outfit that feels coordinated and considered.
  • Looking for a pair of shoes that looks a little more elevated while still fit for winter? Consider a pair of Chelsea-style rain boots made from water- and snow-resistant PVC and offering a timeless style.
