Is casualwear perhaps a bit too relaxed? It may seem to lack a certain flair. Dressing for daily activities embodies a specific effortless charm, and casualwear is often the preferred choice, whether one is running errands or enjoying a quick coffee at a nearby café. While casualwear is undeniably uncomplicated, it can sometimes feel uninspired. It is understandable that one might hesitate to be seen by a romantic interest while picking up laundry or grocery shopping, as even you recognize its lack of sophistication.

Conversely, you may not want to overdo it by wearing outfits typically reserved for special occasions. This is where elevated luxe-casualwear comes into play. It combines everyday essentials with premium elements, resulting in a look that is both chic and striking.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Avani K Chandan, Founder of House of Ara, provided several styling tips that are not only effortless but also enhance the appeal of your usual casual attire. These tips encompass a range of looks suitable for all seasons, from summer to winter.

Silhouettes- balancing structured vs relaxed fits

• Mix tailored and relaxed pieces- A sharp blazer over a slouchy T-shirt and wide-leg trousers instantly refines a casual outfit.

• Tapered meets oversized- Pairing structured, high-waisted trousers with a relaxed cashmere sweater creates a polished yet cozy balance.

• Play with proportions- A fitted turtleneck with loose joggers and sleek ankle boots keeps the look modern and intentional.

• Denim done right- A crisp, structured satin blouse tucked into faded straight-leg jeans achieves a relaxed sophistication.

Textures and fabrics – mixing luxe materials with everyday textures

• Silk or satin with denim- A silk cami under an oversized denim jacket offers a chic contrast of softness and ruggedness.

• Leather with cotton- A buttery leather trench over a simple cotton T-shirt and relaxed trousers instantly upgrades the outfit.

• Chunky knits with sleek fabrics- A structured wool coat layered over a flowy slip dress creates a balanced mix of textures.

• Matte and glossy contrasts- A velvet blazer over a crisp cotton button-down introduces depth and richness.

Accessories- elevating or toning down a look

• Statement belts- Cinch an oversized blazer with a structured belt to add definition and sophistication.

• Luxury bags with casual outfits- A structured leather tote or a quilted crossbody can elevate even a basic jeans-and-T-shirt look.

• Minimal gold jewellery- Layered gold necklaces or sleek hoops add effortless polish to relaxed ensembles.

• Footwear matters- Swap sneakers for sleek loafers or pointed-toe flats to refine a casual outfit. Conversely, pairing luxe pieces with clean white sneakers tones down an otherwise formal look.

• Scarves and sunglasses- A silk scarf tied around the neck or a pair of oversized sunglasses can instantly add a luxe feel.
