7 Casual Outfit Formulas That Just Always Work

Is it just me or is picking out a more casual outfit usually even more challenging than putting together a dressier look? No matter if I'm leaving the house in a plain tee and denim, I could easily try on ten different pairs of jeans just to land on the right look that's casual and laid-back but still says I'm a fashion girl without saying I'm a fashion girl, you know? 

Since I find myself mulling over these casual looks more than I probably should, I figured it would be useful to create a failsafe guide to casual wear for those moments where you want to be easygoing but still look cool. To me, the below seven outfit formulas do just that. Whether they feature the most simple basics in our closets like a tee, jeans, and sneakers or riff on a few trendier elements, putting together one of these ensembles is a can't-lose scenario. 

A structured blazer, especially one in a neutral tone, works wonders to make a simple denim outfit look polished.
Double denim, the Canadian tux—whatever you want to call it, it's a never-fail formula. I'd take a cue from Matilda and pair a denim jacket with jeans in the same wash.
A pretty dress with athletic sneakers is a calling card for fashion girls everywhere and it's actually so easy to re-create. Style a fun frock (bonus points if it involves elements like ruffles or puff sleeves) with your favorite kicks and add in whatever accessories suit your mood.
Give suiting a dressed-down approach when you wear a relaxed set with a simple ribbed tank and "dad" sneakers.
Hinge your outfit around one piece, in this case a printed skirt, and fill in with your favorite basics.
When you're not feeling jeans, relaxed trousers are a chic alternative. Wear them with a simple tank for an easy, summertime 'fit.
Thanks to 2021, coordinating sweats are a look you actually want to be seen out of the house in. A structured jacket pulls the look together.

Up next, see the seven low-cost, high-quality basics I wear over and over.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
