Creating Casual Looks

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Stay relaxed in a long-sleeved, neutral-toned tee.
    Choose a crew-neck top that fits comfortably without chafing your skin. Next, select a pair of skinny or boot-cut green jeans that don’t flare out along the bottoms. Don’t try to tuck in your shirt—this helps add to the relaxed vibe.[1]
    • This is a great outfit choice for people who don’t want to worry about accessories.
    • All neutral tones look great with green jeans, especially when your pants are olive-toned. To switch up your look, choose a white or black top instead![2]
    • To complete the look, consider slipping on a pair of white sneakers to contrast the darker tones of your shirt and pants.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Choose a floral-patterned tee to give off a relaxed vibe.
    Opt for a shirt with a solid, neutral background, like white or gray. To complement your shirt, select a handbag or purse that matches 1 of the colors in your floral pattern. As a finishing touch, slip on a neutral pair of flats and a thin belt.[3]
    • For instance, pair a white shirt covered in pink roses with a light pink handbag or purse.
    • Sunglasses are another great accessory for this outfit.

  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Pair a denim jacket and solid T-shirt for an easy outfit.
    Using your jeans as an accent, choose a solid- or neutral-toned top and any kind of denim jacket to create a comfortable and casual look. To finish off the outfit, choose a neutral pair of flats, heels, or sandals that don’t distract from the rest of your ensemble.[4]
    • Consider adding a brown or blue handbag to complement your outfit.
    • If you’re wearing a bright shade of green jeans, opt for a blue denim jacket. If you’re wearing olive-toned toned jeans, select a darker denim jacket instead.[5]
    • For a more masculine take on this outfit, pair a light-colored tee and light blue denim jacket with a pair of dark green jeans. To finish off the look, choose a pair of sneakers with brown or blue tones.[6]
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Enjoy a day on-the-go with sleeveless tee.
    To create a relaxed look, pair a brightly-colored or patterned top with your green jeans. For a more subtle ensemble, choose a black or navy-patterned tee. To create a bolder outfit, choose a bright shirt color, like pink or yellow.[7]
    • This outfit looks great with an over-the-shoulder handbag or purse.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Experiment with striped, long-sleeved shirts to create a relaxed outfit.
    Choose a shirt with chunky or thin stripes, depending on your personal preference. To stay warm, layer a striped jacket overtop. Finish off the outfit with a pair of low pumps or comfortable sandals.[8]
    • Try out striped garments in different colors, like blue!
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Dress down with a plaid-patterned flannel and comfortable shoes.
    Select a plaid or checkered shirt with neutral or dark colors. To accent your outfit, tuck your shirt into your green jeans and add a thin, brown belt. If you’d like to create a more relaxed look, layer your plaid shirt over a plain white tee and leave both garments untucked.[9]
    • Black or navy are great colors to try out in a plaid or checkered shirt.
    • Flat shoes are a great option for this kind of outfit. If you’d like to add some extra flair to your ensemble, consider slipping on shoes with a leopard pattern!
  7. How.com.vn English: Step 7 Slip on some boots or sneakers for a laid-back vibe.
    Create a rugged look by slipping on a pair of ankle-high work boots. For a more casual ensemble, leave your jeans tucked partially into your shoes.[10] If you’d like to prioritize comfort in your outfit, wear a pair of sneakers instead.[11]
    • If you’re wearing a lot of black or dark gray in your outfit, try adding some contrast with a pair of white sneakers.

    Expert Answer
    Anything neutral should work just fine. Keep in mind, the color of your eyes and your complexion have a lot to do with what you can get away with in terms of color palettes. The season has a lot to do with this as well. So, if you have olive skin, hazel eyes, and brown hair, green jeans with a white shirt might work in summer, while in fall you may want to throw on a brown jacket or orange top if you want to get really stylish.
