Smart casual for many women represents the pieces in our wardrobes we combine to create go-to outfits for our day-to-day lives.

Those chic casual outfits which cater to so many occasions from the office, to a bar with friends, lunch at a restaurant, a dinner date, and more.

And according to a poll I recently shared on Instagram, smart casual for most women seem to be the style with the highest popularity.

The term smart casual refers to a look that combines casual pieces, such as jeans and knitwear, with a dressier addition, like a simple heel or tailored pant, creating a relaxed outfit with an edge of sophistication.

The pieces that feature in these outfits need to be versatile, making it easier to create numerous looks by mixing different items in different ways.

And in terms of sustainable fashion, it pays to have a wardrobe of timeless pieces that will remain relevant and enjoyable for years.

So it’s a minimalist wardrobe that is best for this look, as pieces are easy to combine, more versatile, and ageless, as opposed to a more extravagant or trending wardrobe.

Also, when you see smart casual looks for women on Instagram or in magazines you’re more likely to have the pieces to recreate these ideas when minimalist clothing is what dominates your wardrobe. 

And let’s face it, a minimalist wardrobe also helps to keep the fashion bill down as pieces remain valuable for years.

The collages of smart casual outfits I regularly share through my Instagram account, @withbogart, receive hundreds of saves, so I thought it was about time to share some here.

I’ve had plenty of fun creating 30 smart casual outfits for women who are looking for timeless styles, looks that are simple to recreate, and that lend to a more sustainable wardrobe. 

And I've shared ideas for every season.

Make sure you save those you love to your Pinterest boards.

Enjoy!
