Puffer Jacket
"My casual wardrobe includes a trendy puffer jacket. This is my go-to on days off or when I want to feel put-together yet comfortable. I like wearing this style with my flared jeans or loungewear sets for easy, put-together looks."—Sandy Koszarek
Cashmere/Striped Sweater
"I wear my sweaters nearly year-round, and my wardrobe wouldn't be the same without a favorite stripe or neutral color cashmere sweater. My go-to this season is layering them over a blouse or tying them around my shoulders."—Koszarek
Dark-Wash Denim
"I could live in jeans! Of course, a casual wardrobe is not complete without denim. So this season, I'm reaching for dark-wash flared or straight-leg jeans styled with pointed-toe boots and a cashmere sweater."—Koszarek
Cardigan
"My closet would not be the same without my favorite cardigans. I love the chic, put-together look of a longline cardigan styled with my high-waisted straight or flared jeans."—Koszarek
White Sneakers
"Sneakers are a great way to make any outfit cool and casual. This season, I'll be wearing white sneakers with trousers and casual loungewear and an athletic style with high-waisted straight jeans. Plus, I hope to add a soccer style to my wardrobe soon!"—Koszarek
Loungewear
"You can still have style and be comfortable with versatile athleisure and loungewear pieces; essential items in my casual wardrobe. This season I'll be wearing neutral monochromatic looks, including matching lounge sets, a puffer vest or jacket, and a hat to complete the look."—Koszarek
