It can be difficult to know how to dress in smart casual. The balance is difficult to achieve between smart casual and business formal wear. With a bit of help, creating a smart-casual outfit is easy. Here are 10 ideas and tips for women’s smart casual outfits.
1. Investing in a Blazer
A jacket can be worn in many different ways. This is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe for an elegant casual look. Combine it with pants and an eye-catching tee for a casual look or a gown or skort for more formal looks.
2. Dress up in a blouse
The blouse is an essential part of any woman’s closet. It can be worn in many different ways for a stylish casual look. Blouses are available in many necklines. From classic collared styles, to modern off-the shoulder or v-neck designs. Try out different necklines until you find the one that compliments your look and flatters your face.
3. Select the right footwear
The right footwear is what makes or breaks a smart casual look. Sneakers are great for a casual look. Choose a pair that is stylish and complements your outfit. If you want a formal look, choose heels or flats. Depending on your outfit, loafers or ankle boots are also a great option.
4. Try out different textures and fabrics
A smart casual outfit can be enhanced by mixing textures and fabrics. Wear a knitted sweater with satin trousers or a leather skirt. Choose fabrics that compliment each other and do not clash.
5. Accessories are important.
Accessories will elevate your smart casual look to the next level. A statement necklace, earrings or hat can bring some glamour to an otherwise simple outfit. Choose accessories that will complement your outfit, but not overwhelm it.
6. Jumpsuits are a great choice
A jumpsuit is a great option for a casual smart outfit. It’s stylish, comfortable and easy to wear. Select a jumpsuit that is well-fitted in a neutral colour and wear it with either heels or flats. Add a jacket or blazer for a casual look.
7. Mix and match patterns
Combining patterns is a great way to spice up a casual look. Keep the colors neutral and choose patterns that compliment each other. Pair a striped shirt with a floral or plaid skirt.
8. Layers, layers, layers
For a smart casual look, layering is essential. For a formal look, a blazer or jacket can be worn. A pullover or cardigan is perfect for a casual look. You can also add or remove layers depending on the weather and occasion.
9. Select a statement piece
Statement pieces can add personality to an outfit. A statement piece could be a bold jewelry item, a blazer in a vibrant color, or a skirt with a pattern. Don’t overdo the statement piece and make it the focal point of your outfit.
10. Keep it simple
The key to a stylish smart-casual outfit is simplicity. Accessorize the outfit with accessories that compliment it without overwhelming it. Choose pieces that flatter your figure and fit well. You can create a stylish casual look that will make you stand out.
