Is this outfit inappropriate for casual wear?

I think it is a horrid clash of styles.
A shoulder-padded jacket and high heels paired with frayed hot pants?
Come on!

I’d say so, but whatever flips your wig. It’s your life.

The shorts are good for the beach or the park, but don’t go with the dressy jacket or heels. If this is a question about casual clothes at work, then yes, it’s inappropriate. If it’s a question about casual wear for a date, I think the styles clash and wouldn’t recommend them together.

It starts off well at the top with earrings, sunglasses and orange jacket. The handbag is a bit big but looks OK. The jeans look as if you are starting to lose sight of the overall plan and the high heeled shoes definitely jar. Nice legs though.

I don’t think it’s inappropriate, it just doesn’t look good. Now a short-ish (mid-thigh) skirt instead of the jeans shorts would look pretty good. And personally, I don’t think white heels go well with much except a very summery look. Beige heels lengthen the leg (which is always a good thing!), would go better with the bag, and also have a classic, timeless look.

The shredded jean shorts make it look ‘unpolished. A short flirty skirt would be better.

No.

It’s exactly what I’d wear if I was going to the ATM.

Perfect for a Zoom call, although she doesn’t need the heels for that.

Also, perfect for commuting in a hot, high-humidity town, then put on your carry along slacks or skirt when you get to the office.

Who knows what this person’s circumstances are?

@Pied_Pfeffer <<shrugs>> She asked. And we don’t even know it the pic is the person asking the question.

@smudges Exactly. Why judge or make assumptions?

Huh. I don’t see any judgements, just opinions, which the OP asked for.
