What I love about Kate Bosworth is how she makes a style statement without trying too hard. And I guess that is what works for her. Would you wear all of your jewelry to a formal function? Nope… never! So, why overdo your casual style and end up looking like a fashion victim.

The California casual look that Kate sported was chic, practical and yet feminine. She sported a MiH cropped jeans with a Topshop coral knitted stitch yoke jumper. An Alexander Wang white back-back purse and sunglasses from Cutler & Gross finished the look with style.

Emulating or imitating any celebrity style really depends on how comfortable you are carrying that particular outfit. For instance, if you are sporting Calvin Klein cropped jeans but are constantly worried about your calves looking fat, then you would not be able to carry off the outfit with confidence.

The knitted top is a totally cool and refreshing color for summer and can be worn through autumn too. You can always switch the coral with a lighter turquoise or yellow, if you don’t want to indulge in something new.

Now, make sure that you also have a pair of casual high-top or low-top sneakers in neutral hues to add to that casual elegance. Kate sported a pair of beige ones here, but you can always opt for white, light pink or even grey tones.

Accessories should be kept minimal for the casual look. Over here, a chunky big-dial watch and thin, brown leather belt works great. So, go ahead and imitate this style and don’t bother if you are missing one or two-things (like belt or bag). You would still look as fashionable!
