Street trends: casual style for women

Casual is a street style that takes into account fashion trends and convenience. This means that there are no clothes from the catwalk, but there is a mixture of many genres. The main idea of ​​this combination is comfort and casual elegance.

What does Vicky say?

Casual clothing can be described as: comfortable everyday style, but with a focus on “what is being worn now”, beauty and comfort. Here you can mix styles without fear of ending up in an awkward position. Even random combinations will be considered “norm”. But is this really so? Are there really no restrictions? Of course, there are some nuances here. Let's find out.

Style features

The history of the emergence of this “hooligan” genre is not particularly transparent. There are several versions of its origin, starting from the Swedish-Scandinavian, which promotes convenience and practicality in everyday life, and ending with the London footballers, who everywhere spread the ideology of multi-layering, comfort in clothing and deny high fashion.

The truth may be found someday in the future. And the current generation loves women's casual clothing for the opportunity to look inexpensive and beautiful every day.

Characteristic features of the direction:

1. Comfortable clothes. No corsets, high heels, mega-miniskirts or other restrictive things. Everything is extremely comfortable to wear.
2. The image is designed in such a way as if you are going to a holiday, but accidentally ended up on the street. Clothes should be beautiful and simple at the same time.
3. Neat carelessness. The ensemble should give the impression that the woman was getting ready hastily. However, all the details are thought out, and this feeling of “hurrying to get ready” is only visible.
4. Multilayer sets. Combinations of a long shirt + short jacket, hoodie + biker jacket, blouse + short jacket, etc. look very good. Things “peek out” from under each other, creating the effect of a glamorous, careless layering.
5. Lack of massive jewelry and ridiculous accessories. Everyday casual wear includes discreet earrings, chains, pendants, and comfortable bags. No - giant expensive necklaces, huge diamonds, elaborate styles of details.

Only shoes that are comfortable to wear, without uncomfortable high heels.

Casual subtypes

This style is popular among most representatives of various segments of the population. It has divided into several directions, each of which has its own subtleties in creating images.

Business

A bias towards classic clothing, but Every item must have elements of softness, roundness, and decoration somewhere. The use of purely classic clothing is allowed, but in a minimal quantity.

You can show “going beyond limits” using unusual material. For example, corduroy, jacquard, thick knitwear, and jeans work great.

Smart

The most interesting a direction that allows you to embody any fantasy in an image. Denim, corduroy and knitwear reign supreme here. Denim items are a regular in almost any ensemble.

Comfortable, brand new casual clothes imitate office style, but have soft features of sport and comfort. Jackets, T-shirts, blouses, cardigans, and cropped trousers fit perfectly here. A little sloppiness in creating an image is welcome.

Straight

Everyday street casual is freedom and even a certain “unbridledness” of ensembles. Elements of the look go well with sport and a bit of glamor and bright casualness.

Various hoodies, sweatshirts, pants, chinos, knitted bananas and other representatives of the semi-sports conglomeration work well here. The combination of, say, a sports look and a postwoman looks very decent; slacks, anorak and training bag.

Oll Out

The most relaxed and “permit everything” casual style. The carelessness of the bow reaches the upper limit of what is acceptable. Here you can combine grunge with glamor, ripped jeans with a white chiffon blouse with ruffles, an almost classic suit with sneakers, a leather jacket with a linen-style dress.

Maximum of visible relaxation and minimum of tension. But here you should be careful not to overdo it. If there are torn holes in the knees, then the makeup, hairstyle and everything else should be flawless.

Sport

Appropriate looks that you can wear on the street. That is the look must have certain glamorous features that say “I don’t play sports, I go to a cafe”. For example, this is a soft knitted suit with bright makeup and a small shoulder bag or hoodie, corduroy pants, sneakers and a classic travel bag.

In general, the ensemble should involve a walk on the street, a trip to the cinema, coffee in a cafe, but not training at the stadium.

Who can and who can't

A woman of any age can afford to dress casually. But the older she gets, the more certain restrictions she must take into account. For example, after 40, you should no longer wear a bright pink tracksuit with ears; after 50, jeans with torn knees don’t really fit into your wardrobe; and after 60, a dress in the lingerie genre.

But in each case it is necessary to consider not only age, but also circumstances. For example, in Europe, bright sports and glamorous things are worn, sometimes, into old age and for any occasion, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Principles of combinations in clothing

Basic laws - do not overdo it with details and reduce the totality of bows in terms of materials. It is recommended to choose different types of fabrics and finishes. For example, it is better to pair jeans with a fabric jacket, trousers with a biker jacket, and a corduroy jacket with boyfriends. An all-denim suit just doesn’t fit into casual wear. But it is not exactly.
