I'm All About Relaxed Fashion—These 29 Items Are Front-Runners in My Wardrobe
One thing I know I'm not bringing into 2023? An overly complicated fashion sense. Gone are the days of wearing jeans that are a little too snug after I eat a meal or a pair of boots that I can only manage to take several steps in. No. I'm taking a stand. This year, I'll be implementing a more relaxed approach to fashion.
Let's be clear that when I say relaxed, I don't mean messy or not put together. Instead, I'm referring to that easy, effortless look associated with French and Scandinavian street style. Of course, relaxed also implies embracing the baggy, loose, and flowy styles that happen to be in this season as well, which, considering the context, I'm all for.
If you'd like to follow my lead here, keep scrolling. My top picks for a more laid-back wardrobe are below.
Wear this loose over leggings or sweats or tucked into jeans like it's styled here.
The fitted bodice on this dress is so flattering, and I love that it would be equally as cute styled with an oversize sweater.
& Other Stories is always my go-to for easy-to-wear sweaters.
Invest in a quality jacket you know you'll get a lot of use out of, and you won't be sorry.
The ruched detailing on this top adds a nice bit of interest.
So easy to dress up or down—a good pair of black baggy pants will undoubtedly go far.
Can you write a story about relaxed fashion without including a pair of overalls?
Casual enough to be worn everyday, but edgy enough to work for night, too.
This will definitely become your "I've worn this three days in a row" dress.
A good hoodie is often overlooked, but it's always nice to have on hand.
I've always thought a slim skirt with an oversize sweater or oxford is one of the chicest looks you could go for.
A navy cardigan is a great basic to have on hand when you're looking for an alternative to black.
Coats that you can wrap yourself up in are essential when going for a casual elegance vibe.
I've always found flared pants to be the most versatile silhouette, so you know I had to add these fleece-lined leggings to my cart.
