"<i>These are clothes to wear because you are seeing your friends and your friends are brilliant</i>." -- that's just so lovely.</p> <p>I am actually coming around to the term -- the silliness of "glasual" or "glamsual" (I agree the latter is better) kind of creates space to consider the concept, iykwim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cjazz-hands%e2%80%9d-casual#post-2098520 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 18:20:44 +0000 Suz 2098520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

Like the article stated, "Think of it like hot sauce for your wardrobe: just a dash and you're good and spicy."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cjazz-hands%e2%80%9d-casual#post-2098195 Mon, 10 Feb 2020 13:24:43 +0000 Janet 2098195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this approach a lot. “Smart casual” always sounded a bit too buttoned-up to me, but this take seems more fun and appealing. When I consider it, this is my approach most of the time: take a basic outfit jeans and a tee or sweater, and add something like a patterned scarf, big statement ring, and a great jacket to finish it. “Glasual” might grow on me as a term, as I’m not really a “jazz hands” kinda person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cjazz-hands%e2%80%9d-casual#post-2098184 Mon, 10 Feb 2020 13:07:10 +0000 Anonymous 2098184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)<br /> *adds hip shimmy and body roll, goes to grocery store- because life IS a cabaret* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cjazz-hands%e2%80%9d-casual#post-2098177 Mon, 10 Feb 2020 12:13:38 +0000 nemosmom 2098177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

I will happily think “do I need to add some jazz hands to this outfit?” going forward.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /><div><br /></div><div>“Smart casual is about bringing a dash of formality to a casual look. Glasual is about bringing a dash of extra fun, added energy, instead. Smart casual is serving up a vodka tonic with a neat slice of lime and a linen napkin on the side. Glasual is adding an extra slosh of vodka. </p> <p>”Glasual is the jazz-hands of the dress code scene. It’s about clothes that bring a bit of joy. These are clothes to wear because you are seeing your friends and your friends are brilliant. Or because you’re going to work, but it’s Friday. Because you are excited to be going to a party. Or because you would actually really rather stay home but you’ve promised you’ll go, and dressing up will help you get in the party mood. It is not about fitting in with any formal rules; it’s about bringing a vibe.”</p> </p> <p></div><div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/feb/07/how-to-wear-glasual-jess-cartner-morley">https://www.theguardian.com/fa.....ner-morley</a><br /></div></div></p>
