Every self-professed fashionista needs to own a basic white t-shirt. If you pair it with relaxed denim? Even better!

Whether you opt for boyfriend-fit or mom-like jeans, the classic white tee and denim combination is a surefire winner. Team these separates with sneakers and a utilitarian backpack for everyday, effortless style.

European Androgyny

Thanks to the French, Breton stripes are all the rage if you want to add European flair to a casual outfit.

Combine a Breton-striped top with bright colored chinos and lace-up plimsolls to give your appearance a quirky, androgynous twist. You could even throw on another closet staple in the form of a denim jacket for a simplistic unisex aesthetic.

Biker Babe

Channel your inner biker babe by investing in another key closet staple inspired by the punk fashion movement of the seventies: the black leather jacket.

Pair yours with high-waisted skinny jeans, a tailored top or t-shirt, and chunky-heeled boots for a fierce, classic look that's full of attitude. Furthermore, adding a black leather belt will create definition at your waist for a more polished, feminine feel.

Stylish Yet Professional

For formal events or professional office wear, every woman should own a tailored shift dress in a block hue.

Whether this is classic in color, like black, gray, or beige, or more seasonal, make sure that your shift dress contours to your body for an elegant and refined look. If it's cold outside, team your dress with a fitted blazer jacket in a complementary hue.

For the finishing touch, coordinate your outfit with stiletto court shoes and a smile, and you're guaranteed to make a good first impression.

Cute and Feminine

Inspired by the fifties era, this classic look features two closet staples: an A-line skirt and a cute cardigan in a neutral hue.

It's all about embracing your femininity to create a fun and frivolous smart casual outfit. For a soft daytime aesthetic, opt for an A-line skirt that meets the knee or comes just below it with a basic tee or tank top. Then, to take your outfit from day to night, choose an A-line skirt that comes above the knee and swap the casual top for a smart, tailored option that features ladylike frills or ruffles. Tres chic!

Summery Plaid

A cute and understated look for summer, this outfit features the classic plaid shirt and denim shorts combination.

The best thing about it is that you can throw on these separates in a matter of seconds and they epitomize classic style. Whether you team this combo with well-worn sneakers or add some slouchy boots to amp up the sass, it's all about taking inspiration from the nineties and embracing the casual grunge look. The beanie hat is optional.

Little Black Dress Love

All modern women should have a smart LBD (Little Black Dress) in their closet for night-time drinks with friends or a dressy work event.

No matter what the design, a LBD is a LBD and always does the perfect job when it comes to creating a refined, standout look. Feel free to match your dress with black-heeled shoes to channel gothic vibes. Alternatively, opt for footwear and accessories in a hue that pops, like classic red, to add visual intrigue.

Oversized Leisurewear

Oversized knits are closet staples that help to produce relaxed, comfy outfits for leisurely purposes.

This style of sweater is perfect when teamed with fitted leggings for running errands or grabbing a coffee with family. You should especially consider adding Converse into the mix as these sneakers are a footwear staple for both sexes. And if they're well-worn, even better! They will aid you in channeling seriously cool, casual vibes.

Military Chic

To add a military flair to a smart casual ensemble, opt for a trench raincoat as your outer layer.

As well as being a closet staple, it instantly puts a unique twist on your outfit. Whether you team it with a frock and heels for a dressed up affair or turtleneck sweater, jeans, and brogues for casualwear with a masculine edge, you can't deny that trench coats are timelessly chic.

Timeless Tailoring

Another option for a formal event or the office is the classic tailored pantsuit.

Keep your look monochromatic in a single block hue like red or fuchsia pink to make a serious style statement. Alternatively, mix it up by changing the color of your jacket or pants. Either way, wear yours with a timeless white, button-up shirt and flats to promote ultimate poise and class.

Whether you opt for an understated look or a more bold classic style, there are plenty of ways to show off a ladylike, classic look. Try new pieces and discover what you love.
