When the work week ends, transitioning from office attire to weekend wear shouldn't be complicated. With a few versatile pieces and some smart styling, you can effortlessly move from professional to relaxed with ease. Here's how to do it:
1. The Staple Black Blazer
Everyone needs a blazer. This closet staple is pretty much a life changing style staple. In the office, pair it with a slim-fit dress shirt and tailored trousers. When the weekend hits, throw on some blue jeans, and you're ready for drinks. Just like that. By having a blazer on your side, you can be seen being sophisticated without trying too hard.
2. Elevated Basics
Men: you can never go wrong with a quality Oxford shirt. These pieces are the backbone of any wardrobe. Wear your Oxford shirt tucked in with dress pants during the week, then switch it up by leaving it untucked over chinos or even shorts when you’re out-of-office.
3. From Tailored to Casual
Tailored trousers are essential for that sharp office look, but don’t overlook a pair of chinos for the weekend. Relaxed styles are more appealing, which are very trendy right now, and will remain so because of their versatility. Go for modern neutrals like, olive or tan, which work just as well with an oxford shirt as they do with a graphic shirt. Colder weather tip: throw a pair of our Sheer Contour Fly Tights underneath your trousers for an extra layer of warmth.
4. Sneakers & Loafers
A simple pair of white leather sneakers can be just as polished as dress shoes when styled right. Wear them with a blazer and chinos for a proper office look or with jeans for a relaxed weekend vibe at the bar. Black loafers are also a great choice, offering versatility whether you’re dressing up or down.
5. Minimalist Accessories
Keep your accessories simple and modern. Both a durable black leather belt, and a simple watch, work for the office or the weekend. Take a more laid-back approach by swapping your work bag for a stylish crossbody or tote.
6. Layer Up
Layering is essential in any wardrobe. A lightweight bomber jacket or an oversized cardigan can take you from your desk to drinks without the hassle of figuring out what to wear. These layers are perfect for adding texture and interest to your outfit without overcomplicating things.
