Mine is jeans,vest top with a shirt worn over the top open.
So easy to chuck on yet looks stylish and put together.

Ha that's mine too though I always do a couple of buttons for some reason.

Either that or jeans with turn ups and a stripes top. I always feel happy in that.

buggerthebotox · 03/08/2017 12:23

Vest top, skinnies and Vans or similar. Massive watch, always make-up and nails. Earrings plus (sometimes) something round my neck.

For winter, same ensemble plus cropped jacket and brogues/ boots.

I love a stripe too,normally I wear a red handbag with it and it looks good(so I think anyway ha ha )

I like the look of shirts on others, but doesn't suit my shape at all.

I go for slim jeans with a hip-skimming tee-shirt and slouchy blazer + ankle boots or Converse. Comfy and casual, but I don't feel too much of a schlock Grin.

I have quite a limited colour palette, too, which saves tie wondering what goes with what - navy, white, charcoal and the odd 'jewel coloured' top or scarf (dark emerald green, raspberry red, cobalt blue)..

Jeans, either dark skinnies or light denim baggy jeans with a t-shirt which is usually plain, one of my kimonos over the top and either trainers or loafers or sometimes slides or birkenstocks if it's warm. In winter I will wear a cashmere jumper under the kimono, or will swap out the kimono for a biker jacket or coat. I would also wear this but swap jeans for shorts or a denim skirt but neither of these options that I currently own fit me post baby. Luckily the weather hasn't necessitated buying anything for hot weather!

Jeans, slim or skinny with long or short sleeved T shirt/Breton and cardi. I do get bored with it but it does work for me though. I wear ballerinas or converse usually.
Wish there were more sleeveless knits around as they are very useful for casual wear year round. Mine are several years old now!

Liiinoo · 03/08/2017 13:19

Skinny jeans, long line tunic top in strong colours, silk or cotton in summer, often cashmere in winter. Skechers or fitflops in summer, flat boots in winter. Lots of diamonds to brighten things up. Always have dark, shortish gel nails and good eyebrows.

Butterfly1975 Boden have a sleeveless knit in the new in section - called favourite knitted tank and it's £45 - 7 colours available.

oldlaundbooth · 03/08/2017 15:54

Jeans, long sleeve black t shirt, boots and a scarf.

rightknockered · 03/08/2017 16:00

At the moment is straight cropped jeans, white/grey/black t-shirt, leather biker/khaki/blue blazer, and Adidas sambas.

Scrumpernickel · 03/08/2017 16:01

Jeans, ankle boots with small heel, shirt (usually light blue)

I can't stand wearing stripes any more. I bored myself to near death with Breton tops.

Bluntness100 · 03/08/2017 16:03

God I'm really predictable.

Spring/Summer. Skinny distressed blue jeans or dark indigo ones. Flip flops or salt water sliders, and a black round neck sleeveless top.

Autumn/Winter the same jeans, black, navy or charcoal long sleeve top, eithe v neck or round neck, knee high boots.

Occassionally I will wear converse or vans.

When dressed up, same jeans, but a black, navy or dark green evening sleeveless top and high heeled boots. Or hush Tara long sleeve dress in black, with flat knee high boots and opaques.

I'm even embarrassed writing it.Blush

ConstanceCraving · 03/08/2017 16:08

Skinny jeans, nice blouse/shirt and Tod's or sandals if it's warm.

Get lost loberite

PNGirl · 03/08/2017 18:02

Today is a good example - checked longline shirt/longline cardigan, black vest, skinnies, ankle boots or Docs. Alternatively, skinnies with a stripy 3/4 sleeve top and leather jacket.

I do own boyfriend jeans to wear with slip-on Vans and something tighter on top but I'm not feeling confident about my belly and arms right now!

wobblywonderwoman · 03/08/2017 18:11

Not overly happy with myself at the moment so it is navy loose trousers and top or black stretch trousers and a kimono style chuck on over a fitted vest.

Butterfly1975 · 04/08/2017 13:52

petalpower thanks hadn't thought about trying Boden - have just bought one of the knitted tank tops plus more bits in their clearance Blush

AnnabelleLecter · 04/08/2017 14:01

Skinny jeans or jeggings- in dark blue or black.
T-shirt- usually plain, in blue or light or dark grey.
Cardi
Converse

FatGirlWithChocolate · 04/08/2017 14:04

Stripy top, jeans in some form (skinny or loose), colourful (but not very casual) shoes that match somehow..try to accessorize nicely with earrings, bag, bracelets etc

MineKraftCheese · 04/08/2017 14:13

Brown brogues, skinny blue jeans, blue Oxford shirt buttoned up to the top. Suits me as I am flat chested but I have hips and bum.

Mrspotatohead18 · 04/08/2017 14:17

Skinny ripped jeans, vans, slogan tee and a leather jacket. In fact - I wear a leather jacket with everything!
