Style Notes: Even though she's wearing heels, Grece's look still feels casual thanks to her ripped denim, slouchy trench coat and squared-off tank top.

Style Notes: Although it's a staple, classic striped knitwear is having a moment right now. Use it to give your jeans timeless appeal, and finish with retro kicks and a basket bag to achieve 2021's relaxed aesthetic.

Style Notes: In our experience, nothing goes with denim quite as seamlessly as flannel shirts. Complete the '90s-inspired look with chain necklaces and Birkenstocks.

Style Notes: Casual dressing doesn't mean you can't feel pretty. Wear a milkmaid top with your favourite denim and, for good 2021 measure, a pair of chunky flip-flops.

Style Notes: The easiest way to dress up your casual wares is with a blazer. Layer one over a linen shirt for a relaxed vibe.
