Tip #1: Add a Pop of Colour or Prints

Want to make your casual chic outfits stand out? It's time to add a pop of colour or some eye-catching prints to your ensemble! Here are a couple of tips to help you rock this vibrant style:

• Embrace Patterns. The casual chic style isn't just about solid colours. Mix it up by incorporating patterns into your tops, dresses, or even outerwear. Check out this Festival Shrug collection for some trendy patterned options that will take your outfit to the next level.

• Go for Neutrals with a Twist. If patterns aren't your thing, no worries! Opt for neutral pieces with a splash of bright colours. Think a classic white tee paired with vibrant accessories, like our Festival Shrug, or a statement bag. It's all about adding that unexpected pop to your casual chic look.

Tip #2: Mix It Up With Accessories

Alright, fashionistas, let's talk accessories! They have the power to transform your casual chic look from fab to absolutely stunning. Here's how you can use accessories to enhance your stylish ensemble:

• Jewellery. Get ready to dazzle! Layer dainty necklaces for a trendy and feminine touch. Stack up bracelets or bangles to add some serious flair to your wrists. And don't forget statement earrings to frame your face and make a bold fashion statement. 
• Scarves. Scarves are versatile darlings that can instantly elevate your outfit. Wrap a vibrant scarf around your neck for a pop of colour or tie it in your hair for a playful touch. You can even use a scarf as a chic belt to cinch your waist and add a touch of sophistication.
• Belts. Let's talk waist definition! A well-chosen belt can work wonders in giving you a fabulous silhouette and adding a dose of polish to your ensemble. Cinch a loose-fitting dress with a slim belt to create a flattering shape. Alternatively, go for a statement belt to make a fashion-forward statement.

Tip #3: Don’t Forget the Handbag

Ladies, you know there’s one ultimate accessory that can make or break your casual chic look - the handbag! Here's why carrying a stylish and appropriate handbag is an absolute must:

• The Pop Factor. A well-chosen handbag in a vibrant colour or unique design can provide that much-needed pop of excitement and take your outfit to a whole new level. It's like a fashion exclamation mark that demands attention.
• Toning It Down. On the other hand, when your outfit is already making a bold statement with vibrant colours and patterns, a stylish handbag can be your secret weapon to tone things down. Opt for a sophisticated and understated handbag that compliments your outfit without overpowering it. It's all about finding that perfect balance.

Tip #4: Finish the Outfit with Cool Shoes

We can't forget about the pièce de résistance - the shoes! The right pair of shoes can make or break your outfit, so here are some styling tips to ensure your footwear is on point:

• Embrace Sneaker Chic. Sneakers are no longer just for the gym. Embrace the sneaker chic trend by pairing your casual chic outfits with stylish and comfortable sneakers. Opt for classic white kicks for a clean and versatile look or experiment with bold colours or trendy patterns to add a touch of personality to your ensemble.
• Elevate with Heeled Boots. When you want to add a touch of sophistication and elevate your casual chic outfit, heeled boots are your go-to choice. Whether it's ankle boots, knee-high boots, or chunky heeled boots, they instantly add a chic and polished vibe to your look. Pair them with dresses, skirts, or jeans for a stylish and balanced outfit.
• Flaunt Flats. Flats are the epitome of casual chicness. Choose stylish ballet flats or trendy loafers to add a touch of femininity and comfort to your outfit. They are perfect for those on-the-go days when you want to look fashionable without sacrificing comfort.
• Rock Those Statement Sandals. As the temperature rises, embrace the beauty of statement sandals. Go for strappy designs, vibrant colours, or unique embellishments to make your footwear the focal point of your outfit. Whether it's a casual beach day or a summer brunch, statement sandals will add that extra oomph to your casual chic look.

 

Tip #5: Match Hair & Make Up

When it comes to achieving a truly polished and put-together casual chic look, your hair and makeup play a crucial role. It's all about finding the perfect balance between carefree and glamorous. Here are some tips to help you match your hair and makeup to your fabulous casual chic outfits:

• Effortless Waves. Embrace those beachy waves for a relaxed and carefree vibe. Create loose curls using a curling iron or try braiding your hair overnight for natural-looking waves. Finish off with a texturizing spray to add volume and movement.

• Effortless Updo. When you want a more polished and sophisticated look, an effortless updo can do wonders. Try a messy bun, a relaxed top knot, or a tousled ponytail. These hairstyles not only keep your hair out of your face but also exude an air of casualness.

• Natural Makeup Glow. Keep your makeup fresh and natural to enhance your casual chic look. Opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone. Add a touch of blush to give your cheeks a healthy flush, and swipe on a neutral eyeshadow shade to define your eyes. Finish with a nude or sheer lip colour for a subtle, polished touch.

• Bold Lips. If you're looking to make a statement, a bold lip colour can be your secret weapon. Pair your neutral or monochromatic casual chic outfit with a vibrant red, deep berry, or bright coral lipstick. It instantly adds a pop of colour and elevates your entire look. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal to let your lips take centre stage.
