Casual dress code for women – relaxed, modern and stylish for everyday life
The casual dress code is arguably the most uncomplicated dress code – but that doesn't mean it's a free pass for ill-considered outfits. Casual means comfortable, practical, and modern, yet still polished. This style is perfect for leisure time, shopping, weekend getaways, relaxed office life, or meeting up with friends. We'll explain what casual means for women, which items of clothing it includes, and how you can stylishly pull off the look.
What does "casual" mean for women?

Casual means:
"Relaxed and comfortable, but deliberately styled."
T-shirts , knitwear, denim, sneakers or light dresses – anything is allowed as long as it looks neat and is appropriate for the occasion.

Styling tips: How to achieve a polished casual look
👖 1. Focus on high-quality basics
Cotton, knitwear, linen or denim create a relaxed yet stylish look.
🧥 2. Layering makes the look more interesting
Combine a cardigan over a shirt, a blouse under a sweater , or a denim jacket over a dress .
👟 3. Shoes make the difference
Clean sneakers or loafers look modern and casual. It's best to avoid worn-out sneakers.
👜 4. Few accessories, but chosen deliberately
Delicate necklaces , narrow belts or simple earrings are perfectly sufficient.
💄 5. Natural Make-up
Light makeup or a "no-makeup look" is a perfect match for the casual style.
