Hello lovlies! Now I know it’s only Wednesday but let’s talk a little about weekend style. Now raise your hand if you don’t like the weekends. Yeah, didn’t expect to see any. We all love the weekend! It means free time with no work, no schedule, and no dress code.
While you may be tempted to hang in your comfy cozy sweats from Friday through Sunday, I’m here to say that dressing for the weekend doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice either comfort or style (yes you really can have both!) Here is my easy formula #fashionmakesmathfun for perfect weekend style, the classic girl way!
1) START WITH RELAXED DENIM
As classic style girls, we’re all about a more fitted and tailored look during the week whether in boardroom meetings or the school drop off line. So for the weekend, let your proverbial hair down with a great fitting pair of relaxed denim. Boyfriend jeans, either distressed or not, are a stylish (and comfortable) base to any weekend look.
2) ADD COMFORTABLE (AND CUTE) FLATS
Shoes can make or break an outfit, this we know. Since this is a weekend look, slip into a pair of flats for the day time and save those heels for your dinner date. Most classic style girls would migrate towards the ballerina flat, which is an excellent option, but don’t forget the driving shoe, which is a great loafer-esque flat that can adds a little European feel to your weekend look.
3) ADD A POLISHED HANDBAG
Adding a little polish to your weekend look can sometimes feel like a trial but let your handbag do the work. Rather than carry your structured work tote all weekend long, consider finding a trending style in a classic color like this cognac saddle bag. While it’s shape may be a current trend, it’s color and material will keep it stylish for a long time to come.
4) FINISH WITH A LAYERING PIECE
An additional layering piece is always a must to take clothes into an Outfit (yes, Outfit with a capitol O). As I’ve said before, a layering, or third piece, is a great way to fool others into thinking you’ve put a lot of thought and effort into your look and is another way to instantly ‘dress up’ jeans and a tee.
So to recap perfect weekend style is as easy as…
relaxed denim + comfortable flats + polished bag + layering piece = one stylish you!
