Get ready for downtime with our favorite casual wear essentials.

Tees

The T-shirt is perhaps the quintessential casual piece, not just because it is so comfy (OK, we love that part, too) but because it packs so much style (sleeve lengths, prints, layering) and versatility.

Polos

The polo shirt is a preppy staple, but it also makes our list of casual wardrobe essentials because it packs so much style.

Boot Cut Jeans

Jean trends come and go: wide-leg, skinny, cropped, distressed, embellished. But the bootleg jean is a casual wardrobe essential.

Cropped Pants

Nothing says "relax" like a great pair of cropped pants. Our favorites span everything from knit athletic crops to high-end designer looks

Flats

The right flats can either complete or dress up your casual look. Find our favorite skimmers, sandals and sneakers.
