Grace Kelly Casual Style
Some of our favorite Grace Kelly styles are her more casual styles.
Her casual style doesn’t seem to be as famous as her dresses, but once you see the timeless way she wears jeans and slacks, you won’t be able to follow trends again.
When wearing slacks or jean, she gravitated towards feminine high-waisted styles, always with the blouse tucked in at the waist, and often accessorized with a belt.
A sleek pair of loafers would complete the look. Keeping things casual, yet classy.
She would also wear skirts as a casual style as well, again, emphasizing the waist with the blouses tucked in at the waist.
