If you’re looking to take a break from fussy outfits, but classic loungewear feels too staid and businesslike, you might want to consider a few laid-back looks.
Here are some of my absolute favorites that are perfect for those chill days.
1. Sweater and UGGs

I’m totally obsessed with this combination. A pink sweater with white pants and some UGGs? It’s such a chic look.
I’ve seen this on so many celebs, and it’s a go-to for a reason! It’s just so stylish.
2. Plain baggy jeans and long coat

Some days, the thought of putting in a lot of effort is just too much. I totally get it, which is why I love this outfit formula. A tee, baggy jeans, and sneakers are all you need.
To keep from looking too dressed down, just throw on a long coat. And there you have it! An effortlessly chic look you’ll love.
3. Blazer outfit

You know those little fashion emergencies life throws at you? When you get called into a surprise work meeting but you’re in a casual outfit, a blazer is your best friend.
It can instantly make your whole look feel more polished.
4. Match ’em up

Even with more earthy tones, this outfit makes such an impact. It’s incredibly stylish and so versatile!
This is a great choice for the office if your dress code is a little more relaxed than jeans. I also think the wide cuffs give the whole look a less serious feel.
5. Striped pants outfit

What I love about these pants is how versatile they are. You can dress them up with some pointy shoes like she did here, or you could go for a more laid-back vibe with sneakers.
The possibilities are endless!
6. All black outfit

Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t always need to reach for denim to nail that casual vibe. I am loving these black palazzo pants as a super comfy alternative.
And if the temperature drops a bit, just layer on a quilted leather jacket. It’s an instantly chic combo!
7. White jeans and ballet flats

If you want a laid-back feel but are aiming for something more smart casual, try swapping your usual sneakers for ballet flats. It’s an easy switch that really elevates a jeans outfit.
The belt here adds the perfect finishing touch to her already chic look.
8. Cover up with an oversized blazer

This classic combination is definitely one of my favorites! A blazer and leggings is a duo you can’t go wrong with, right?
The leggings bring all the comfort, while the blazer makes everything feel more polished and put-together.
9. Another day, another tee-jeans combo

And why not? It’s a classic for a reason! If you want to break up the monotony, it’s all about the accessories.
You can rock the same style of jeans and top every single day, but switching up your accessories will give you a totally different look each time!

For all my girls who aren’t into monotonous, earthy palettes, here’s an idea you’re going to love. Go ahead and bring on a bright burst of color, like the red jacket in this look.
It’s such a fun way to spice things up.
11. Leather it up

This leather jacket works so well with the straight-leg jeans. Personally, I think this outfit would look amazing with a pair of cowboy boots!
12. Twinning in jeans
I am such a fan of a good twinning moment in jeans! A great pair of jeans and a white shirt is one of my favorite go-to outfits.
If you ask me, that combination is flattering on just about everyone.
13. Everything oversized

What a seriously comfy combo! Oversized cuffed jeans paired with an oversized sweater is a fool-proof formula when you want a no-fuss casual outfit. It always just works.
14. Sweater and loafers

This look feels so elevated. A pair of black jeans, some comfortable loafers, and a grey scarf take your standard sweater and pants look to the next level.
I’m really into the dark, mysterious vibe happening here!
15. Oversized coat

Since jeans are already super comfortable, pairing them with sneakers and an oversized coat is a no-brainer. You could also swap the blouse out for a tee or a tank top.
Don’t forget to accessorize with a bag you love, though I have to say, the hobo bag she chose is perfect.
16. Denim love

Who says you can’t pull off an all-denim outfit? When you’re combining similar pieces, the key is to think about accessories that will break them up.
You can also play with different washes and textures, like a darker denim on the bottom and a lighter one on top.
17. Warm and casual

A smart casual look is such a great choice for an outfit that takes you from day to night. With this inspiration, there’s no need to change into something else for a dinner or a night out.

Looking for an outfit that feels laid-back but is still perfect for the office? This button-down cropped cardigan with pleated pants is so stylish!
It’s casual enough to be comfortable, yet totally functional for a workday.
19. Neutral hues

Some people might think that brown, grey, and beige are boring, but it’s all about how you put the pieces together! Pro tip: use a belt to cinch at the waist instead of the hips.
It’s a great way to make baggy clothes look more structured. I am loving this casual look so much!
20. Stylish in brown and white

Here’s another smart casual look that I’m sure you’ll love as much as I do. I love how she used white to really make that gorgeous coat and the brown wide-leg pants stand out.

So, how do you wear an entirely oversized outfit without looking frumpy? It’s all about the half-tuck.
This little trick gives you a laid-back look without having to sacrifice your style. It’s a game-changer!
22. Dress down with sneakers

In this outfit inspiration, it isn’t just the high-top sneakers we’re loving. It’s that colorful bag that adds so much personality to the whole look.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this comfy casual outfit inspiration? I love how stunning she looks with the shawl collar sweater paired with dark jeans.
24. Brown blazer outfit

Here’s another idea for our comfy casual outfits: raw-washed jeans with a white top and a long blazer. If you want to switch it up for a smart casual style, just swap the sneakers for some pointy kitten heels.
25. Chic fur ensemble

A comfy casual outfit doesn’t always have to be oversized. Skinny jeans are plenty comfortable! And when you pair them with a cozy toggle coat like this one, it feels just like a warm hug on a chilly day.

This look is the ultimate in comfy-chic style. We’re talking baggy pants, an oversized cardigan, and sneakers. Just add a scarf for a little extra personality!
And of course, feel free to play around with the colors of these pieces to match your own personal style.
27. Matchy green
I am such a sucker for a good color coordination game! I’m loving the green sneakers and matching cap here.
This is an amazing comfy casual outfit that I’ll definitely be wearing on repeat this summer.
