1. Effortless Sweaters: Sweaters are a closet essential for building great women’s casual outfits. You can never go wrong with styles featuring crisp, classic stripes, à la our best-selling Brockton Sweater or relaxed Lotan Sweater. Bolder pieces like the floral Tensley Sweater are great for adding a playful twist to neutral ensembles. For all-season versatility, try a sweater set like the Meilani; its pieces can be worn together or solo to build a variety of looks.
2. Versatile Knit Dresses: Our formula for the best casual dresses for women: a comfy fabric plus a bold print. Try the Bingley Dress for breezy, swingy styling or the Rozaline Dress if you prefer a more streamlined silhouette. Both are made from super-soft Pima cotton jersey, so they feel as good as they look.
3. Chic Printed Bottoms: If your closet is already well-stocked with neutral tops, expand your options for trendy casual outfits by adding printed pants and shorts into the mix. The flowy Bal Harbour Palazzo Pant is our forever favorite to wear with fitted tops or button downs. (Bonus: it’s made with more responsible materials!). The Callahan Short is a Lilly classic for the warmer months, while the printed Annet High Rise Crop Flare is a statement-making update to traditional denim.
4. Elevated Accessories: If you’re anything like us, you reach for a belt bag almost every day. We designed our Glenna Belt Bag to be the ultimate outfit-completer, with a modern silhouette and the perfect matte peach hue that you can wear as a neutral. Its gold hardware also makes it an easy match for another wardrobe staple: gold jewelry.
5. Layers You’ll Love: Layering pieces don’t just serve a practical purpose when the forecast is chilly—they also introduce dimension to your outfits. We’ve recently added two ultra-versatile new jackets to our layering lineup. The Shepa Denim Jacket brings a polished air to any look with its clean silhouette and gold hardware, while the Seaspray Linen Jacket updates a longtime Lilly favorite with an easy, lightweight fabric.
