Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Casual Outfits To Wear While Running Errands

April 19, 2022 by Katie H.

Casual outfits to wear while running errands

I am a pro when it comes to running errands. I feel like that’s all I do every day. Any time that I leave the house I like to feel cute and put together in whatever I am wearing, but let’s face it. The grocery store is not the most glamorous place to be. That’s why there is no reason that you need to get overly dressed up (unless of course that makes you feel good). That’s why l like to keep it casual.

Most of the time I like to wear jeans while running errands, but today I wanted to skip the jeans and focus on some other cute and casual clothes that you can wear while running errands.

Joggers

I talk about joggers a lot and this is because I love them! They are always a cute option for pants. I love the way joggers look with a fitted tank top and a denim jacket. It’s an easy go-to for me. I also love to grab a baseball cap to complete the outfit.

Wide Leg Pants

Wide-leg pants are fun because they can be worn in a dressy way, but you can also dress them down and wear them casually. I find them to be such a comfortable style of pants, that’s why I think they work great for running errands.

T-shirt dress + Denim jacket

When it’s warm outside, a t-shirt dress is the perfect clothing item to wear while running errands. It’s easy and doesn’t take much thought to style. I like to wear mine with a jean jacket. A little tip is to wear bike shorts under. That way you have some extra support and coverage.

Jumpsuit + Cardigan

I love this jumpsuit! Whenever I don’t know what to wear, I put this jumpsuit on and feel cute and comfy! I usually wear it with a jean jacket, but I also like to throw on a cardigan with it to add some color.

Drawstring pants with a pop of color

Another great pant option in the spring is these drawstring pants. They are lightweight and super comfortable! I like the bold pop of color that it adds to the outfit. I paired it with a lighter wash jean jacket to lighten up the look for spring.

Leggings + Utility jacket

Leggings are always a good idea to wear while running errands. I like to wear a longer sweater or top and use a jacket to layer over. An olive green utility jacket is always a nice layering piece, especially when you want to wear some color with a neutral outfit.

Those big statement necklaces were a great way to add color to a colorless look! But for my update I went with a statement skirt with color. I really love how this look turned out!!
