Sensational Smart Casual

The biggest style dilemma people seem to have and the question I'm asked most frequently is, how can I be stylish when I'm casually dressed?

It seems we're all great at being completely dressed down or completely dressed up for work or an evening out, but what about those in between times. All those occasions when you want to be comfy and yet look effortlessly stylish.

Well here are a few ideas to help you smarten up a pair of jeans and add elegance to your casual clothes.


Heidi Klum gives us a masterclass in casual, understated chic here. Yes, she's wearing leggings and although the sweater is baggy it's off the shoulder and has a splash of sequins to up the glamour tempo. Her sunglasses and neat hair add an extra touch of finesse.



This outfit from Banana Republic is warm and cosy, but by adding the beret it takes the overall look to a more sohphisticated level.


I absolutely adore this outfit Samantha Cameron has put together. The shoes and jacket dress everything up. She's practically dressed but with a wealth of style.

So pay important note to your accessories when you're dressing down. Adding the right shoes, a hat here and a beautiful bag or necklace there, will make all the difference to how you look and feel.

If you'd like to know more about how to create the perfect smart casual look, then come along to our event at The Style House during Leeds Fashion Week on 15th October at 3pm. You can your free tickets by clicking here.
