The best pieces to wear this weekend
Some of us work on weekends, some of us play. Some do both. However you spend your time, it’s very likely a mix of the casual and not-so casual, and that means your weekend wardrobe needs to follow suit.
Here then, is a speculative weekend itinerary, complete with a few key pieces to match your activities. Happy weekending.
When: Friday, early evening
For: After-work drinks
Where: Your favorite bar with pals
The key piece: Leaving the office in buttoned-up attire, toss on a sleek black leather jacket like the Liston Cropped Black Leather Jacket ($748 on zadig-et-voltaire.com). I especially love its structured silhouette and utilitarian pocket details.
When: Friday, later evening
For: A date with your sofa
Where: At home
The key piece: Curling up and chilling out calls for the softest pajamas ever. Enter the Bella Long Sleeve Top & Pant Pajama Set ($150 on cosabella.com) in four neutral colors with sharp-looking piping, made in Peruvian Pima cotton.
When: Saturday afternoon
For: Catching up on art
Where: A spin through Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (especially the new Rachel Ruysch exhibit)
The key piece: Why not pay homage to Ruysch’s richly colorful paintings by donning a bold and beautiful number yourself? The Pink Marvelous Garden Midi Skirt ($248 on farmrio.com) is just the thing, thanks to its vibrant floral patterns in warm pinks and rich navies and ambers.
When: Saturday, early evening
For: Date night
Where: That bistro you’ve been dying to try for months
The key piece: When is a dinner more than just a meal? When you show up wearing something like the Phare Silk Dress ($725 on staud.clothing). The stretch-silk, draped off-the-shoulder neckline design comes in a handful of killer hues, but I think it’s at its most come-hither in vintage floral.
When: Saturday, later evening
For: Post-date nightcaps
Where: At home
The key piece: Well that date went exceptionally well, didn’t it? So slip into something more comfortable with an actual slip — like the Contrast Piping Silk Suede Maxi Nightdress ($162 on lilysilk.com). It’s close cut and long length is beautiful yet demure, and infinitely flattering.
When: Sunday morning
For: Catching up on your favorite shows over a lazy breakfast
Where: Your kitchen
The key piece: Time to pull on something soft to lounge around in, like the Felted Wool Jersey Wide-Leg Pant in Regenerative Wool ($175.20 – $268 on eileenfisher.com). Nothing too crazy on the style front — they come in neutrals like chalk, biscuit, dove, or classic black — but the wide leg makes for an easy fit for the rest of your afternoon.
