My Favorite Casual Essentials Over 40

For most women, it’s not dressing up that’s the problem. As a matter of fact, it’s not dressing down, either. Most women seem to have the work clothes and the working out clothes dialed in. It’s everything else that stumps them. The errands and the weekend lunches and the coffee with friends. It’s the smart casual wardrobe that eludes so many women.

Fortunately, with a little bit of planning and the right casual wardrobe essentials, you can demystify the art of smart casual style. As always, when planning any wardrobe, I start with a cluster.

For this cluster, I chose high-quality casual wardrobe essentials from Mott & Bow in soft neutrals that are perfect for spring and summer. Here are the pieces in this cluster.

• Slim Boyfriend Grand Jeans (part of the Eco-Friendly Denim Collection): The slim boyfriend is my favorite silhouette. It’s slim enough to be flattering to a variety of body types but slouchy enough to be modern. It’s also super comfortable and the wash is perfect for spring and summer.
• The Slim Boyfriend Bone Jeans I was so excited that Mott & Bow came out with a white jean. These are a creamy off-white that is easy to wear and the perfect addition to warm weather outfits.
• The Vintage Navy Marcy Tee: The Marcy tee is a high quality classic, with a slim flattering fit. This Vintage Navy shade is so perfect for spring.
• The Vintage White V-Neck Marcy Tee If v-neck tees are your thing, the Marcy v-neck in Vintage White will be your new favorite. Soft, flattering, and not at all see-through.
• The Olive Marcy Tee: This is the perfect in-between neutral, and pairs well with both jeans as well as many of your other basic bottoms.
• The French Terry Sweatshirt: Love this casual staple in vintage white. It’s thick and soft enough to be cozy while still being light enough to work as a spring layer.

Together, these pieces combine to create 12 possible outfit combinations. Add personality to these versatile pieces through accessories to create endless chic outfits.
