Casual Outfits for Women: 20 Easy Everyday Looks

Casual doesn't have to mean sloppy. The difference between "thrown on" and "effortless" is usually one good layer, decent shoes and a fit that's intentional. Here are 20 everyday looks.

The casual basics

• Straight or wide-leg jeans in a mid or light wash
• White, black and striped tees
• A cream or grey knit
• A denim jacket and a light trench or blazer
• White sneakers, loafers, ankle boots
• A crossbody bag and a tote

What makes casual look put together

• Shoes in good condition. Clean sneakers matter.
• One structured piece. A blazer, trench or good bag.
• Intentional fit. Oversized on purpose (balanced with something slimmer), not just big.
• The half-tuck for loose tops: tuck the front into your waistband.
