Casual yet stylish outfits you can wear on the weekends

A simple, solid colour t-shirt dress would suffice too. But we’ve chosen this patterned number from Chloé simply because it looks like two outfits in one, which makes it look like you’ve put in a lot of effort to style the outfit when in fact, you didn’t. It’s all about dressing smart, yes? Finish the look with a pair of mules and a straw handbag.

Floral prints scream summer. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it gets you looking put together and spiffy effectively. French tuck it into the bottom of your choice (high waist shorts or maxi skirt, maybe?), or knot the hem for a slouchy yet smart casual look.

So maybe you’re heading to brunch with your girlfriends but you overslept. You’re in a rush to head out the door, but you can’t wear your supermarket slippers. That’s why a stylish pair of slip-on mules are an essential for days where you need to (quickly) dress up and show up. Featuring a slick gold chain detail, these leather mules from Giuseppe Zanotti can be matched with an LBD for a monochrome look.

Whether you’re hiding bed hair or less-than-stellar looking hair that are in between washes, cover it up and look sporty chic at the same time with a snapback from Balenciaga and finish with a shirt, jeans and sneakers combo for the weekend.

Wrap dresses are another category you can consider adding to your wardrobe because it’s an all-in-one outfit that also fakes an hourglass shape with the wrap belt. We also love that it’s so light and fuss-free. Pair this with high heels or mules for a stylish date ensemble.

Playsuits, rather than their sibling jumpsuits, should be in your weekend wardrobe because weekends aren’t the time to suffer the heat in full-length clothing. Whether you’re going to a pool party or a picnic by the beach, a stunning playsuit like this Etro number will ensure you still look sharp. Finish with espadrille wedge sandals.

Pleated outfits are great because they require little to no ironing before they can be worn. This scarf-print (which is on trend, btw) number from Bershka is colourful enough that you can match it with a simple black camisole and head out the door. Simple and chic.

Dressing down doesn’t mean you have to compromise on sexiness. Put on an off-shoulder like this and let your décolleté and shoulders do all the talking for you. Match it with sneakers and a pair of shorts or ripped denim.

While we love the ease of a thong slipper, those can get slippery when the weather gets wet. It’s also makes one look pretty sloppy, which is why we love Ipanema’s hybrid of a slipper and sandal. It works perfectly to give added security and its rope textured knot and metallic detail also adds sophistication. In an elegant forest green, it will also work with whatever colours you decide to wear on the body.

Ripped jeans are an essential if you really want to nail that model-off-duty-and-looking-chic-while-walking-down-the-streets-of-Paris look like the Jenners and Hadids. Throw on a simple knotted t-shirt and tie your hair in a messy bun to really get it just right. Add an envelope clutch to round up the look.

Sustainability is on everyone’s lips these days but to really throw your support behind the green movement, bring along your own shopping bag every time you’re heading to the supermarket. Plus, it’s more enjoyable when you’re using a cute fruit print tote from Pomelo’s Summer’19 collection.

With Singapore’s perennial summer heat, wearing long pants on the weekends — especially when you’ve been wearing them all week to the office — seems like a suffocating chore. So go with a chic pair of shorts, such as this denim number from Zara that features an unfinished hem that adds a cool, unbothered feel. Pair this with the matching jacket for a quick, cohesive look.
