How Do You Dress Casual?
by @lucyflorals
Although some may think that to put together casual outfits for women, it is enough to toss on just anything that falls out of your closet, things are a bit more complicated. Casual does not mean unkempt or awkward. It means practical and comfy but still stylish. Thus, to pull off the casual style, you need to stick to several simple rules. First, your outfit should not be overly tight nor should it be extremely baggy. Opt for something loose-fitting. Also, make jeans your best friend. They make up a perfect base for the majority of both informal and business casual women outfits.
What Is Casual Wear For Ladies?
by @milena_blog
As women do not have to suffer in tight pencil skirts, buttoned-up shirts and high heels in the office anymore, casual style has gained a new meaning. Now, it does not imply such laid-back clothes as a loose tee and baggy sweatpants. It is more about feeling snug in your clothes while still looking nifty. Thus, to put together smart casual women's outfits, you can incorporate into your look less conservative items, for instance, loose fitting and wrap dresses, tank tops or tops with either long or short sleeves paired with jeans, collar-shirts with short sleeves teamed with linen pants as well as flats or low-heeled shoes.

Moreover, throw on a bright cardigan and a pair of colorful sneakers to let your creative personality shine through the outfit. In case you are not sure if a bare-legged twist is your cup of tea, you can always add a pair of leggings or skinny jeans to the mix.
