Here’s the golden rule of fashion – no outfit, no matter how casual or basic is ever truly boring. It is only a matter of styling it right. If done well, one can absolutely rock the most basic look with a white tee and pair of denims.

On the other hand, you can go completely wrong with the choicest of elements if you style them wrong.

With casual outfits, the choices are endless. And therefore, consuming. You do not want casual outfits to look too serious when you are styling them – you want to retain the laidback, free-spirited nature of the outfit.

So you cannot go overboard with the styling. You have to make it look effortless, like the combination that you are wearing is more organic, even when it is quite concerted.

If you want to figure out the tricks behind styling casual outfits in a non-boring way, take a look at these outfits that we have decoded.

• Outfit 1 - Black Jeans + White Shirt + Black Sweater + Leather Jacket + White Sneakers 
• Outfit 2 - Check Shirt + Black Jeans + White sneakers 
• Outfit 3 - Black Jeans + White Crew Neck Tee + White Sneakers 
• Outfit 4 - Black Jacket + White Tee + Black Denim + Suede Boots
• Outfit 5 - White Shirt + Light Blue Washed Denim + Olive Fur Long Coat + White Trainers

Outfit 1 - Black Jeans + White Shirt + Black Sweater + Leather Jacket + White Sneakers 

A lot of effort goes into styling a look like this one, but it is the overall neutral nature of the color palette that makes this look organic. So, if you are going for as many individual pieces as the ones in the outfit here, stick to a standard two-tone neutral palette.

The biker jacket is the most striking element here, apart from the understated belt chain. The biker jacket has dramatic collars, so keep the collar of the white shirt crisp and tuck it into the black tee. The black tee has a very wide neck, so the white color will show. But that adds some contrast to the upper half of the look. Pair this with white sneakers to complete the look.

Outfit 2 - Check Shirt + Black Jeans + White sneakers 

This second outfit is very versatile. You can wear it across different seasons, and around the clock. Of course, if you are wearing it during the winters you will have to add more layers. But the tartan checkered shirt can work as a perfect element for summers, and a perfect base for the winters.

Tartan checks combine more than a single color to form checks of different sizes, creating a different and more colored pattern than some other forms of checks. This shirt has a different tone underneath, so rolling up your sleeves can help add a touch of another color. Pair this with black trousers and white sneakers to complete the look.

Outfit 3 - Black Jeans + White Crew Neck Tee + White Sneakers 

This is the simplest, most classic casual look on this list – one that is so standardized, that you can never go wrong with it. A classic white tee with a semi-relaxed fit on the torso and a snug fit on the arms and a pir of black trousers is always a pretty safe bet.

With these outfits, you only have to see to the fits of the separate elements, making sure that you maintain a harmony overall. You can do some fun accessorizing with this look, with a stack of chain bracelets, some rings and a statement watch. Complete this look with a pair of white sneakers and some dark shades.

Outfit 4 - Black Jacket + White Tee + Black Denim + Suede Boots 

This look takes the basic elements from the previous outfit and spruces it up a bit by adding a striking jacket and suede boots. So keep the white tee, go for a darker pair of denims to make the look more sporty, and for the jacket – go for a statement piece.

This has the overturned lapels that we often see with shearling jackets, but it isn’t as heavy. Also, because of the belt of the jacket at the waistband, zipping up would mean that you get a very fitted look. So, make sure that the tee you wear underneath fits you well.

Outfit 5 - White Shirt + Light Blue Washed Denim + Olive Fur Long Coat + White Trainers

This is a perfect casual outfit for the winters, because of the military green parka jacket. The crisp white shirt has been a staple clothing item for a while now, as have the pale grey denims.

Keep this look clutter-free because the jacket itself is going to draw a lot of attention, given its size and its cut, especially the fleece layering on the collar. You can accessorize with a dark weekender bag. Pair this look with white sneakers to complete it.
