Creating a casual style
Breathe new life into your casual style by adapting your corporate wardrobe staples.
By repurposing your corporate pieces, you can effortlessly transition from the office to the weekend in style.
Key Casual Style Essentials
Creating a standout casual style requires these key essentials:
Quality denim: investing in good quality denim jeans and/or maxi skirt is a good place to start. Corporate style button up shirts no matter the fabric looks terrific with denim without looking corporate.
Good quality cotton t-shirt: Wearing a bright t-shirt, particularly if it has a fun logo is one way to distinguish your casual and corporate wardrobes. Try the t-shirt with tailored pants and a denim jacket for a fun casual look.
Loafers or trainers: An easy way to change a corporate look is to change your shoe. Loafers and trainers take the edge of a corporate look every time.
Fun accessories: Another simple way to make a look more casual is with jewellery and a fun bag. Colourful bead necklaces, resin rings and hoop earrings will all create a more relaxed look. Team your outfit with a straw or raffia bag for a going to the beach not office vibe.
Adapt a corporate wardrobe
Adapting your corporate wardrobe pieces involves rethinking how you wear particular items.
Try these ideas to start.
Shirt style dresses: Unbutton a shirt style dress and wear it over a t-shirt and jeans to create a casual layered look.
Button up shirt: Pair your favourite corporate shirts with shorts, jeans, or a mini skirt. Experiment with different ways to style them, such as tying them at the waist or leaving them unbuttoned over a tee or tank top.
Work pant: Wear a sequin top with a tailored pant or skirt for the evening.
Corporate pump: Give your pumps a casual twist by pairing them with cropped pants or a denim skirt.
Business style jacket: Try your jacket with a floral sundress for lunch with friends or to elevate jeans and a t-shirt.
Tailored skirt: Wear with a silk or leather bomber style jacket, graphic tee, and trainers for a cool and edgy style.
Evolving a Stylish, Casual Look
Start by creating mood boards to assess ideas about how you plan to adapt how you wear your corporate wardrobe.
Experiment. It is ok to start slow and build your confidence.
Most of all have fun!
