Chic yet casual comfort

There's some days, like today, when the weather is surprisingly warm, but you don't necessarily want to get 'dolled up'. And that's exactly how I am feeling! In all honesty, I sometimes prefer to dress down, keeping it casual and comfortable, but equally outdoorsy.

Fashion Geek had this really cool image (below), and I just loved the simplicity of denim with a simple white tee or crop. From Jessica Alba to Sarah Jessica Parker, the boyfriend jeans are a classic hit. And although I've never owned a pair of slouchy boyfriend jeans before, I think they are the perfect solution for a demure look. The great thing about boyfriend jeans is that they can pretty much look good against anything! From a classic blazer, a boob-tube, and denim shirt, or a simple vest, the options are endless.


Taking inspiration from these celebrities, I've put together some of the hottest items relevant for achieving the boyfriend look today. These, are of course, subject to my personal preference, but I just love a pair of dungarees for a modern boyfriend look. Now I know nautical stripes are not typically associated with the boyfriend trend, but this cute stripe top by J Crew would look so chic when paired with the crop length denim jeans to the left. When trying to achieve this look it's ideal to keep everything minimal and simple! No clean lines, no body-hugging pieces, and absolutely no heels! Casual and chic is about endorsing those comfy flats...especially the pair of gorgeous black espadrilles!

Earlier this week, Gwen Stefani was also seen in a head to toe boyfriend ensemble! Doesn't she look like such a dime? While she sticks to her statement red lips, I love the ways in which she is playing around with her fashion sensibilities of late. A nice twist on the classic boyfriend look is pairing your slouchy-jeans with a pair of sneakers or trainers! We all know how on trend they are at the moment...what better time to wear them.
