I Prefer Casual Clothing—These Nordstrom, H&M, and J.Crew Items Are Ideal

Do I have a section in my wardrobe dedicated to my formal attire for special occasions? Yes. That said, I prefer casual clothing when it can work to fit within my more relaxed style. If you, too, are into laid-back attire—even if that’s just for your off-duty life—I pulled together an edit of easy pieces from three stores I like and think you enjoy as well. Yes, I’m referring to Nordstrom, H&M, and J.Crew.

Below, you’ll uncover the best casual items on offer from this trio of retailers. As a preview, there’s a smattering of denim silhouettes, including the pair J.Crew designer Olympia Gayot is wearing above. There are also simple shirting silhouettes, sweaters, and even low-key dresses.
