It’s Friday. Time to wrap up our work-related responsibilities and focus on relaxing with the family. However, “relaxing with the family” doesn’t always need to include a ratty, old t-shirt and yoga pants. You can enjoy the weekend in style with a few key pieces thrown into your normal rotation. (Hint: jeans are key. For more than you would ever want to know about jeans, click here.)

A great weekend checklist includes the following:

  • The perfect pair of jeans
  • Slim capris
  • A crewneck sweater
  • A casual, buttoned-up blouse
  • Short and long-sleeved cotton tees
  • Chic flats
  • Brightly-colored accessories

A colorful and comfortable piece can completely reinvigorate what you already have hanging in your closet. Here are some chic options to spice up your weekend wardrobe.

$24.50, Old Navy

$68, J. Crew

$5.50, Forever 21

$49.50, Gap

$24.99, Banana Republic

$59.99, J. Crew

  • Well, what do you know? I own that Old Navy button-down (in turquoise) the shirred BR top (black) AND J Crew city flats (mine are silver). I guess I need to actually use these items on the weekend, because (shamefully) I DO wear ratty yoga pants all the time.

  • I like your list & will be checking out that Old Navy shirt.

    Mrs. O’s style has also inspired me. I particularly love her J. Crew cardigans in gorgeous colors. I think they’re great for a weekend or work look.
