CASUAL DRESSES

What types of dresses are considered casual?

Casual dresses make looking put together easier than ever. But what’s considered casual? You typically want to go for dresses made from soft, breathable fabrics that feature relaxed silhouettes to achieve that laidback look.

Common styles of casual dresses for women include shirt dresses, midi and maxi dresses, shift dresses, and sundresses.

These dresses are versatile enough for a variety of occasions, such as brunch with friends, casual Fridays at the office, weekend errands, or even a relaxed dinner out. Pair them with sandals or flats for daytime wear, or dress them up slightly with wedges or a lightweight jacket for an evening look.

Shop our selection of casual dresses that strike the perfect balance between laid-back comfort and polished style.

How can you style a casual dress for different occasions?

A casual dress is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. By adding the right layers and accessories, you can take it from a relaxed daytime look to an elevated evening style.

For the office, pair a knit or shirt dress with a tailored blazer and block-heel pumps for a polished, professional look. On weekends, style a sweater or shift dress with flat sandals or sneakers and a lightweight cardigan for comfort that still looks put together.

For evenings out, take a midi casual dress and add statement jewelry, a fitted jacket, and heeled booties for an effortlessly chic look. When traveling or running errands, opt for a soft, easy-to-move-in dress and pair it with a denim jacket and slip-on shoes for a stylish yet practical outfit.

By adding a few unique styles to your wardrobe and layering with blazers, cardigans, or accessories, casual dresses become staples you can rely on for every occasion.
