Loosening Up

Used to be that fashion-conscious Jakartans got dressed up to the nines even for a trip to the mall. Shorts and T-shirts were a no-no, and deliberately pulled-together branded ensembles were the order of the day. Thankfully, people have learned that casual can be chic and comfortable at the same time as urban wear takes over the world. Today, casual Fridays spill over into the weekend, with cardigans, jackets, favorite boots that have seen better days or whatever takes your fancy. The key is to build a wardrobe of basics that can be mixed and matched creatively. We spotted these style makers looking suitably relaxed at Citos, Plaza Indonesia, Bumbu Desa Senopati and Loewy. Finally, you are free to be yourself.
