From Work to Weekend
In today’s fast paced world, our wardrobes should be as versatile as our schedules. Whether you’re heading into the office, meeting friends for a weekend brunch, or going out for a night on the town, having a wardrobe that transitions seamlessly from work to weekend is essential. In this post, we’ll show you how to style a few key pieces to effortlessly take you from professional to playful with just a few simple changes.
A blazer is a must have staple that can work for both work and weekend. For the office, pair it with trousers or a pencil skirt and a simple blouse for a sharp, professional look. To complete this look, we recommend The Row Selene Jacket and matching Diane Pant and Parave Shirt. When the weekend arrives, however, you can easily dress it down by swapping out the button up shirt to a cute tee from Citizens of Humanity and throw on some Common Project Sneakers. This transformation takes only a few seconds, but the difference it makes is huge.
The button down shirt is another piece that excels at both ends of the spectrum. At work, a crisp, classic button down shirt tucked into TWP Didi Pants or the Veronica Beard Maxine Skirt, creates a sharp, business ready outfit. We would choose the TWP Boyfriend Shirt to execute this look. When the weekend rolls around, simply leave the shirt untucked or tie it at the waist for a more relaxed and casual feel. Pair it with Citizens of Humanity Jeans or Maria McManus Sheer Skirt. The button down shirt is one of the easiest pieces to style, and with just a few adjustments, it can easily adapt to any occasion.
The midi skirt is another versatile wardrobe staple that seamlessly transitions from office attire to weekend casual. We suggest the Bite Studios Parchment Skirt. For work, pair it with a tucked in blouse such as the Nili Lotan Marisa Silk Blouse or Matching Parchment Top to complete the look. A pair of heels or flats will keep the look professional such as The Row Liisa Kitten Heel. When it’s time to relax on the weekend, the same skirt can be styled with a laid back t-shirt or cozy sweater such as the Dries Van Noten Haxti Sweater or Lisa Yang Stripped Sweater. Swap the office shoes for white sneakers like the Common Projects Tournament Sneakers.
It’s all about flexibility when it comes to building a wardrobe that works as hard as you do. With just a few styling tweaks, you can easily take your favorite pieces from work to weekend without missing a beat. These wardrobe staples are the foundation of a versatile, go to collection that will take you from professional meetings to relaxed weekend plans without skipping a step.
