National hero Jose Rizal described Noli Me Tangere's Maria Clara as the image of an ideal lady in terms of visuals and values. In 2022, we encounter the fictional dalagang Pilipina through Julie Anne San Jose, who portrays her in GMA's uber-popular series Maria Clara at Ibarra. At primetime on weeknights, we see the singer-actress channel a regal 1800s energy, while donning the appropriate baro't sayas and traje de mestizas.
Once she takes off Maria's attire though, Julie Anne is still as stylish, occasionally rocking pieces from her very own brand, Mundane Club. Her modern-day wardrobe is chock full of neutral staples, designer totes, and trusty white sneakers, all of which she mixes and matches on the daily.
Below, we round up some of her best casual looks that we're definitely copying on our days-off.
Julie Anne San Jose's Best Casual Looks
1. Cropped Polo + Tank Top + Wide-Legged Jeans + Sneakers + Fanny Pack
White on white on white will always be a go-to on days you just can't figure out what to wear. Play with silhouettes by going for a pair of wide-legged jeans and tossing on a cropped polo with a slight hint of color to it. Julie Anne keeps her essentials within reach by way of a Gucci fanny pack.
2. Boxy Jacket + Tank Top + Joggers + Sneakers + Handbag + Shades
Similarly, a boxy jacket will instantly elevate your sporty tank top and joggers combo. The Kapuso star once again kept things delightfully tonal by going for a light brown palette.
3. Vest + Trousers + Heeled Sandals + Handbag + Shades
Waist coats are definitely a must-have, and chances are, they have a good pair of trousers that come with them. Throw on some heels, sling on a handbag, and you're set for a day out on the town like Julie Anne.
4. Oversized Suit + Bralette + Sneakers + Cap
Relaxed formal wear is a must-have OOTD when you're a girl on the go like the singer-actress. An easy way to personalize a suit is to team it with a colorful inner top and a hat of your choice.
5. Shirt Dress + Tank Top + Capri Pants + Pointed Flats + Handbag
Have a breezy shirt dress you've been wearing to death? Revamp it by wearing it open over a tank top and pants. Julie Anne did so for a day of errands, then capped things off with a pair of pointed flats and a mini Dior handbag.
6. Oversized Button-down + Tank Top + Denim Shorts + Sneakers + Cap + Handbag
Of course, oversized button-downs can be worn in a similar fashion over a top and denim shorts. For a bit of added character, Julie Anne put on a red baseball cap and toted her mustard yellow Chanel purse. Cute!
7. Corset Top + Sweatpants + Shoulder Bag
Sporty girls, Julie Anne's here to show you that corset tops can totally nail your athleisure OOTD. Simply wear them with your favorite pair of sweatpants, and perhaps some layered necklaces, and you're good.
8. Oversized Sweater Vest + Sweatpants + Sneakers + Cap + Handbag
Another top you can pair with your sweatpants is an oversized knit sweater vest. A cap, a pair of sneakers, and a handbag will nicely punctuate the cozy but cute look.
9. Slip Dress + Sneakers + Handbag
For casual date nights when you want to let your hair down a bit, a figure-flattering slip dress paired with white sneakers and a handbag always does the trick. We're particularly loving this black number on Julie Anne—that thigh slit sure gives it that extra spice!
