Being comfortable in your own skin is a goal many search for all of their lives. Being comfortable in your outfit is something that some forsake, and some have mastered. This comfortable dressing is a trend that the world has America to thank for. We love our jeans and we are masters at pairing them with pumps, blazers and other pieces that didn’t typically go with them, until now. It’s with that spirit that a new trend is born. I call it “Casual Luxe”. This week’s edition of The Weekly Scoop, takes a look at the mixing of high and low fashion to create what appears to be a new type of style that is emerging EVERYWHERE on the streets: from NYC to Milan with Paris and London in between. Gone are the days were people are so prim and proper that they look and feel stuffy in their outfits. Now it’s about mixing everything, brand name designers with Target skirts, Beautiful dresses and pant suits with Converse All Stars and Nike trainers.
There is definitely an art to doing this very comfortable, juxtaposed look. We’ll discuss that in another post, today we focus on the fact that this new style is emerging all around the Globe and doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon. Take a look:
NYC: The addition of the shorts make this what I call “Casual Luxe” . If she had on slacks or a pencil skirt, the look and feel of the outfit would be more polished and give a different feel.

Milan: The overalls and fun hat, and tee shirt make this a “Casual Luxe” look. She paired them with her Valentino studded heels and her bicycle.

Paris: This great structured crop top would look and feel completely different if she paired it with a high waist pencil skirt or high waist trousers. She opted for high waist jeans instead, which creates the “Casual Luxe” look and feel.

London: London is not known for dressing down, they leave that to their friends on the other side of the pond. It’s my opinion (after studying there for many months), that they are actually not very good at Casual. But Doing “Casual Luxe” is something that is easier for them to embrace. Adding this open back denim top, makes her very elegant skirt and shoes very “Casual Luxe”.
